"Eclectic" pretty much sums it up. Imagine jewelry, pottery, soaps, soy candles, all mixed with a random supply of notecards and old VHS videos (which I think can be rented). Everything is pretty moderately priced and many of the items benefit various artisans or artistic communities.
I'm struggling to categorize this place in a way that captures the ambience. It's a bit crowded with items and you have to search around to find what you're looking for. But the search is worth it. The owners are both great, and it's a good stop-off when you're in search of a wedding gift (I just purchased a nice wood cheese board) or a yummy smelling glycerin soap. But, the visit is also about the experience, the chance to talk to the owners and to see other locals.
