Wow! How nice to be referred to as a "gem"! THANKS! We do appreciate it, especially, when someone recognizes us as "out of the ordinary," because indeed, that's how we see ourselves and what we strive to be. If you are reading this right now, come see for yourself! Read our other reviews, too if you get a chance. We are proud of what we have built here in downtown Venice, and have been recognized by subscribers of The Venice Gondolier newspaper as "Most Unique Store." We have a LOT of fun in here! Hope to see you again soon.
