Main St Arts and Antiques

I had not been to Main St Arts and Antiques on Main St in Gloucester for quite a while. It is one of my favorite “comfy” shopping pleasures. Though I miss seeing our friend David Cox there on a regular basis, the current staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. A little bird tells me you can sometimes catch David in attendance if you are fortunate in the timing of your visit. Anyhow, this lovely little shop is full of fun items and worth the time it takes to browse and appreciate the beauty and practicality of some of those gently used daily items from the past. I’m especially drawn to the glass, especially Depression era glass. I also like to check the “local history” area for updates on Cape Ann historical memorabilia. Follow them on Facebook for updates. Maybe I’ll see you there soon! It’s a great feeling to support local business AND repurpose useful items.

New designs from the @thirstyseagull lab. #gloucester #01930 I’ll be at the shop at 44 Main St today with Pat D’s Photos for #gloucestersosalty Yesterday was an incredible turnout.

Thank you @capeannmuseum @discovergloucester @cathy.kelley.covehill @brittdicologero
