Could Spend All Day Here
I had seen this shop many times but always seem to hit it right at closing time. This time we made a special trip. Will be making more (especially with my new points card!) As one reviewer put it perfectly, it is like a rabbit warren...deceptively small-looking, but you could get lost in it. Little rooms here and there - one with toys, one with nature items, one with seasonal gifts, one with cards...and on and on it goes. Prices are excellent. There is a lot of jewelry - costume and some sterling and art-type jewelry...very good prices. I ended up with many treasures and Christmas gifts, including a sterling ring made of antique butterfly wing set under Czech glass, and a Bendel-reminiscent brown and white striped perfume bottle (very mid-century modern). Earrings were 20% off and there were hundreds of them, arranged by color - if you needed a particular color for something, voila. Same thing with bangle enamel bracelets and sea glass...pick a color, any color! Browse the women's clothing, house décor, hostess gifts, windchime collection (appear to be locally made, some of antique glassware)..the reason I will suggest that you spend 1-2 hours is because if you like this kind of shop, you will. Staff very friendly. Free gift wrapping. Let's put it this way: I shop. A lot. It's somewhat rare that I find a store where I haven't seen a lot of the inventory before. And there were plenty o' things here I have never seen and probably never will again (e.g., aforementioned ring and perfume bottle). And as my friend put it, "If you can't find anything you like in that shop, you're pretty hard to please."

BOUTIQUE WITH DISTINCTIVE SEA GLASS JEWELRY & MANY OTHER ITEMS
The shop is one of several Sadie Green's stores. I visited two in Sturbridge. This one rambled through several rooms. It was a great place to roam and browse. The merchandise was mostly distinctive handmade jewelry. There were a lot of earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and key rings with sea glass and silvertone metal only. There were a lot of cuff bracelets. One had the outline of a sailboat in the center. There were many things with nautical themes with seashells, starfish. The shop also carried small shoulder bags, pashminas, and greeting cards. This is a great place to get lost in for an hour or more. I rate Sadie Green's Curiosity Shop at 5.0. I highly recommend a visit. It’s easy to find. It’s adjacent to the historic Publick House which dates from 1771. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.
