This crafty-chic shop carries handmade apparel and accessories fit for the whimsical, the bohemian, and even the preppy. Owner Eva May’s felt hats evoke a bygone era of playful elegance, while Mary Laskey’s boldly colored copper-enamel jewelry has an earthy flair, and twirl-ready A-line skirts by orangyporangy are certain to appeal to any cardigan-wearing girl. The shop also stocks plenty of silk-screened T-shirts of May's own designs, handmade jewelry collections and various art objects such as ceramic dishes, paintings and hand-crafted notebooks. May teaches hat-making classes as well, in which you can learn the old-fashioned hand-blocking method behind her own creations.
