What a fun stop. Had the chance to watch a pewter casting demonstration. Learned more about pewter than I’d ever expected. Ended up buying several Christmas ornaments

What a great spot to check out in Mahone Bay. An artisan showed us the process of making the Pewter items. It was very interesting. I bought a beautiful necklace. The shop is really nice and has a lot to choose from.
