I got my favorite hat here! Absolutely love this place. I grew up in the area and miss the Salem culture- it’s hard to appreciate the culture until you’re gone, but it always sticks with you. To make sure, I got a really cute hat. Also they have taxidermy and a very nice selection of hand crafted soap.

This was probably my favorite shop in Salem. Every piece of art in this shop was created with care and love. The vibes fit the spookiness of Salem. I found do many cool pieces and had to force myself out of the store in order to not spend too much money.

What an amazing shop! I didn't realize that it's a collective but I think that is really neat and exposes both small businesses and customers to each other in a manner they otherwise would not be. There is so much to look at and buy. I wish I lived closer, I would have even less money than I do now.
