We're Open! Come See Us at 505 Pine Ave

Well, we did it. After months of painting walls, unpacking boxes, hanging art, and moving the same sofa four times, The Gilded Fisherman is officially open at 505 Pine Ave.

Thursday night was our launch party and I am still smiling about it. So many of the Pine Avenue shop owners and neighbors came by for a tour, plus friends I have been telling about this shop for over a year. Getting to finally show everyone instead of just describing it? Best feeling in the world.

If you have not been in yet, here is what we are about: interiors, art, and collected pieces. One of a kind artwork, nautical decor, and furnishings you will not find in a catalog, because most of them only exist once. I picked every single thing in here, and I can tell you where each one came from.

We are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 5. Come say hi, bring your coffee, take your time. And thank you, truly, to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. This island is something special.
