5.0The Book Bin(2 reviews) - Eat. Sleep. Read. Speciality & Gift Shops How does this small store manage to display so much merchandise? As well as not one but two turtles (Lily and Hardcover) in their personal, spacious tanks There are stuffed animals and toys; greeting cards; note cards; a great selection of journals; puzzles; Solmate sox; seven different choices of coloured pencil sets; and, oh yes, books. You can track down the staff picks -- suggestions colour-coded with round stickers indicating individual employee choices. Or you can browse the shelves to your heart's content. Then top off your purchases with their $4 magnet that reads, "Eat. Sleep. Read". The complimentary gift wrap is quite lovely, but the store also carries clever book totes (starting at $3.99) that could both hold and supplement your present. This is simply a wonderful, wonderful store. What are you waiting for? Visit. See my earlier review (August 26, 2021) for more details about the Book Bin.See more..
Open Thursday - Saturday, 10 - 4; Sunday 2 - 4. A charming one-room shop crammed with fairly-priced nostalgic items: jewelry, books, knick-knacks, sewing notions, toys, kitchenware, serving pieces, china, etc. Everything is clearly labeled. 35% of each purchase benefits the local historical society and museum. On my last visit I picked up a Judy Garland coloring book and three darling mid-century dolls. The Inn Shop is attached to the History Museum, so I suggest you come on a Thursday or Sunday when the museum is open. Parking lot. Although this level of the building is ramp accessible, it might be difficult to navigate the narrow aisles of the shop.See more..
