_ http://www.monroesaltworks.com/ Just like the stores in Portland ME and Arlington, MA- half the store is dedicated to quirky, nostalgic,odd ball novelties and half to selling their own brand of salt glazed pottery pieces, with 4 distinct patterns (the Crow is popular) and with a "new england" rustic appeal. Pieces include full dining sets, Bean pots, pie plates and pie birds. To add to the mix, the store has is a good toy section (mid 20th century type) and a fine artsy jewelery section. Handmade toiletries and linnens to match the pottery round the store out. Beware to parents : there are some novelties with iffy subject matter set up close to the toy section. Nothing too outrageous ... just snarky enough to need explanation. If your four year old can read that is.
