Etcetera

Walked into Etcetera after learning about them from Chinook Book. The store is lovely and they have a very nice display with multiple llama products there now. I absolutely love that they sell Pact products. I frequently buy Pact online and like that I now have the option to buy these products here as well. In fact, they had some beautiful, organic cotton leggings on sale while I was there. I’m actually starting to regret not buying them and might go back later this week to pick them up.
They also had a sale section with some wonderful-​smelling soy candles that I considered. Beautiful jewelry and kitchen products as well. Completely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

They have impeccable taste. Etcetera is the best place to buy home goods in 97 203. Cool clothing. Beautiful jewelry. They are a great place to buy a last minute gift with a card.

I really enjoy this store, especially for seasonal items. I think the store is great for White Elephant parties around Christmas, obligatory once or twice a year fun gifts and some nice home goods. Also, I’ve bought gift bags and cards here as well.
During the most recent holiday season, I made many trips to Etcetera for ornament gifts/​cards/​etc. Really enjoyed the wood crafted snow flakes.
The only improvement I think that could be added is to include a welcoming and inclusive staff. Usually there are one or two woman working (the owners?) and while I adore the store, it feels a little stale in there sometimes. Welcoming customers, consistently, and offering assistance would get them the final star.

After more than a year, I still have a positive feeling about and a good vibe in this St Johns boutique. A friendly saleperson who turned off her vacuum when I arrived.. I was pushing a baby carriage and there was more than enough room for baby and I to look at cool stuff without danger of breaking things. I saw a really cool Portland «print» for $ 14 that I want want want to bring to my friend back in Boston. So, I still wish there were some super cheap tidbits thrown in for good measure, but I admit it, I’m a fan!

From the outside, this is an attractive store that welcomes you right in with nice displays of handmade items that make you want to buy as gifts for friends, family, and yourself. It reminds me some of the Crafty Wonderland Store in downtown Portland, but this is better edited and focused. There are small areas dedicated to products for men, women, children, and kitchen. The craftsmanship of the products is expert and the price point is correct for such well-​made items. I was very taken with an impressionistic photo print of The Cathedral Bridge and probably will come back and buy it, but the friendliness of the store owner (or perhaps manger??) needs to come up above a couple degrees of frosty. The staff member in question seemed very reserved, but a hello and bit of chit chat is not that painful (or at least I hope not) and is a welcome thing to a customer contemplating coming back in and to buy a photographic print.

This shop is so cute, and so me!
Lot’s of lovely home decorations, jewelry, locally made clothes, soaps, etc.
I don’t think I have come in without buying something.
I also like that the shop stewards don’t follow you around and ask you if you need help every five seconds. They just let you browse and I love that!

St. John’s gem. Great little gift shop. Has a little bit of everything.

This lil store is charming! It’s filled with local artisan work! Cards, Bags, Baby gear, Kitchen items, jewelry, Hats, ETCETERA (see what I did there?). This store also participates in the Supportland movement. So bring your card (or pick one up at the store) and have it swiped to earn your points! Apparently they are moving next door… or somewhere close by. Maybe for a bigger space? I’m assuming they will be able to carry even more items for sale! Even better!

So glad to see Etcetera in St. Johns. It has one of kind items from local artists for your home. In addition lots of seasonal items and jewelry that is just the right amount of funky. Hope this store does well and hope more folks come and visit.
