This shop is great! They sell locally made items along with antique pieces. I have picked up some beautiful greeting cards which feature Charlestown homes, painted by a local artist. There is variety- such as a Monument ornaments for the Christmas tree... stone coasters with images of old charlestown, vintage lace... the list goes on. My favorite purchase was a 1940's first aid kit. The shop is tasteful, quaint, and an asset to the neighborhood!
