Even it being a bit crowded it was still a great experience. The staff was knowledgeable about the inventory. They smiled and greeted each customer upon arrival. The price was reasonable.

I've been coming here for so many years that I refer to the shop as "The Mother Ship." It's worth the two hour round trip from Williamsburg. I have yet to find a shop that matches this combination of quality and variety. Thanks to Elizabeth for all her help with my Christmas order earlier today!
