Located in midtown La Conner the Ginger Grater is a definite "must do" if you're of the culinary mindset. It's a great place to browse for the latest and greatest kitchen gadgets, pick up some local sauces, jams, and/or spice mixes, or grab some eclectic tableware for your next gathering. In other words, I always find some way to spend my money in here. One my most recent visit, I finally invested in a butter bell and was really excited about all the colors they had. I'm pleased to report, that (days later) my butter is soft and fresh and safely kept in its blue crockery bell. I also picked up a few odds and ends for the charcuterie boards I seem to find myself making often - a few decorative toothpicks, some tiny tongs, and even a miniature scoop somehow found their way home with me. At the counter, I even grabbed a La Conner magnet for my collection. The shop is sort of expensive, but not beyond what you might expect in this touristy little town. I've made a goal of doing more local shopping this year, and although I could probably have found my butter bell a bit cheaper online, I was proud to support this small business (while also supporting my butter habit).

(Dad joke) Olive for this kind of store! (/Dad joke)But seriously, who doesn't love jarred, canned, pickled and fermented goodies packed tightly onto shelves, waiting for a discerning, drooling palate to sidle on by and slide a few into a basket for purchase? Places like this are my weakness, and I usually have to restrain myself immensely on how much I allow myself to buy, or I'll be in serious financial trouble!There's more here than just olives: garlic, sauces, jams and jellies, mustards and other condiments, pickled veggies, vinegars, oils, wine, kitchen goods, cookware and doo-dads, books, apparel, and likely a whole lot more I overlooked, while whittling down my selection to a handful of jars. Apparently I have good taste, as one of the employees remarked that I'd picked his two favorite olives in the entire store.Samples of olives and related products are available, but limited. Employees are very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. This is the sort of mercantile Mecca you hope, nay, pray to find while shopping in a small town, and the Olive Shoppe does La Conner proud!

I am still tickled at the most awesome service I just received...over the phone! I live in Edmonds and had purchased some little serving spoons from Ginger Grater a few years back. I wanted to give them as gifts for Christmas, but it's a drive so I phoned ahead to make sure they had them. Kelly answered and it was delightful from then on. She wasn't sure which spoons they were so she gave me her phone number and said send me a photo of them and I'll check...she even helped me do the whole photo and send "thing" while staying with me on the phone with me! Best service...ever! Picking them up tomorrow! Definately recommend them!
