What People Are Saying
from Google"Found another cute shop in Portsmouth while souvenir hunting lol located in a nice area and walking distance to all the other shops. Inside was clean and nicely arranged. I didnt see the magnets that I was looking for but did see some cute crafts and coasters. They have this cute little window where you can see a portion of Old Harbor and some of the tugboats. worth checking out!"
