The Mermaid’s Collection

Where do I even start… What an appalling experience. My friends and I stopped in while waiting for breakfast reservations and were surprised by how rude the store clerk (owner/​artist) was while we in there. First, we accidentally walked into the back room because it was wide open and not marked at all. The store was divided by a couple rooms so it It was an honest mistake. She was extremely rude while telling us to leave that room. We apologized and continued our tour. My friend who was extremely interested in a fish sculpture hanging on the wall tried to take a picture to ask her husband about it and the woman barked and practically tackled her about not taking pictures. That is well within her right but my friend apologized and the woman insisted that she show her that she deleted the picture. Even after my friend had proven that the picture was gone the woman stood there staring at us like we were criminals with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face.
My friend (who was nicer than me) asked if she had a picture on a website somewhere because she was still very interested in the carving and needed to show her husband. The woman told her no and followed us around the shop like we were going to steal something until we couldn’t take it and left.
After we left we found her website… And the fish carving on it.
We will not be buying it however because no one who treats customers like that should be compensated.

This store is overpriced and the owner was very rude and disrespectful. We looked around the store and found nothing we personally were interested in. The owner was staring at my friend the entire time we were there. After we left my friend was so taken back by her experience in the shop that she went back to talk to the owner and ask her why she was looking at her the way she was. My friend politely approached the owner and was accused of stealing a tiny glass bottle which was priced on sale for $ 1. Why anyone in their right mind would 1. Steal something that costs $ 1 or 2. Go back to a store in which they stole said item, is completely beyond me. Needless to say, we will never go back to this shop, and we would highly discourage anyone else from going there either.

Cute little shop for eclectic fun stuff!
They have cool jewelry, a lot of which is ocean related: shells, mermaids, fish-​themed, etc.
This is a cute place to come for little gifts that are one of a kind. I tend to wander in here while I’m waiting for cinnamon’s restaurant to let me get seated…
The owner/​shopkeeper is sweet, helpful, and will answer any questions you may have!
Parking is street — metered, but it’s usually not too hard to find.
Feel free to wander on in to enjoy their AC… and support local! :-)
