Best gift shop in Center Harbor, New Hampshire (NH) 2024

What a wonderful visit! Melissa (one of the artists - her glassworks are an absolute treasure!) was running the gallery and she is truly a sweetheart. The shop is beautiful and it was such a pleasure to take a look at all the local art works. I did stop in for one particular artist (Penny Burke) whose work I had come across online (and which led me to the Squam Lakes Artisans), but I am glad I made the trek up from Boston and could see everything else in the gallery! Another couple came in and happened to be looking at another artist's woodworking pieces and Melissa, without any hesitation, sweetly let them know whose art it was and remarked on how beautiful it is to the couple. What a lovely community of artists who clearly hold great respect for each other's works and talents! I hope to stop in again soon on one of my next visits to Squam. ~Eleanor
