The owner, Molly, and her two doggies are as nice as can be.  Having just opened in October of last year, the shop is so fresh, super clean & well organized. And refreshingly well stocked.

Vacation Acquisition

Whenever we are spend a week at the beach we begin to get crazy ideas about buying a place on the beach. Quickly we dismiss these ideas b/c
1. we realize we only have time to be at the beach two weeks a year
2. we think of hurricanes ripping our wonderful condo apart
3. the 12 hour [...]
