The Shop in the Media

 

The Shop is unlike any place you've ever seen! 

 

In fact, that's what the folks in the media think as well from  Southern Living "Shopping Surprise" (August 2005) and Southern Accents (2008) to The St. Augustine Record.

Our Customers are talking:

 

"We've travelled all over the world and have never seen a store like The Shop. What an experience!" -- John & Michelle, New Orleans, LA

 

"I can spend 30 minutes in The Shop and have every holiday table in my home beautifully decorated AND they ship!" -- Reesie, Avery, TX

 

"The saddle oyster wind chimes...I just can't get enough of them." Carol Y, Micanopy, FL

Each season we're stocked with truly unique items that will spark your holiday mood, decorative creativity, entertaining needs or gift-giving inspiration.

The Shop has so many items it's just too difficult to put them in neat, little categories. We've created a few of our most popular categories below which include the following:

Christmas and Winter Holiday Decor, Decorations, Collectibles & Gifts

Everyday is a holiday here! Check out the Unique Christmas/Holiday Trees: Feather, Seashell, Flamingo, Dogs, Cats, Western/Horse, and more. Just take a look! (New Photos Posted 11-28-11) A frighteningly large collection of Halloween and Thanksgiving decor and gifts!

Seasonal & More Holidays

Themes and merchandise change from season to season (spring, summer, winter, fall) and during holidays. Some items are restocked, but most are original and one of a kind. Here you'll find a representation of the types of items we stock during smaller holidays and occasions and as the seasons change.

We try to give you little tidbits of information throughout the tour and our personal decorating ideas. Not all items on the site may be available when you visit, but some may be. We've tried to show a representation of the types of items we carry. Thanks for visiting our website, enjoy looking, and we hope to see you soon!
