Gretchen is an incredible host at both of her locations-Newburyport & Portsmouth! She is warm and professional! The artwork and collectibles are made from incredible local artists! There are gifts for children and adults...so when you have a difficult person to shop for...this is the best place to go to buy something that is often "one of a kind"!

This is an amazing gem of a store/gallery/artist studio. Very unique! We love our purchase of a teacup birdhouse and photo on glass of beautiful Newburyport! Thank you. They will make our home a happier place!

I have been a customer of Gretchen’s for several years. I love the selection of works and artists she curated for both her shop. From textiles, painting, photography and jewelry I always find a gift or something g fun for me. I have been to several open houses and had a chance to speak to the artists. They praise her efforts and how she promotes their work. Great place, in both Newburyport and Portsmouth!

I visited A Pleasant Shoppe and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Louisa Tumelaire was such a delight and helped me with my purchases. I can't say enough good things about the beautiful artisan items or Louisa who was such a sweet person to talk to. Definitely recommend so highly and can't wait to return!

I have purchased many well-received gifts here for loved ones. It is a pleasure to shop in a gallery with so many beautiful things, and I especially appreciate the range of prices and choices. A Pleasant Shoppe is a true treasure in downtown Newburyport.

I can always count on A Pleasant Shoppe to help me find just the right gift, or accent piece that I am looking for. I love shopping local and cannot think of a better place to do it. Shop local, local artisans and one of the nicest shop owners I have ever encountered. (PS, I really like saying Hi to Miss Dixie when I visit ~ best mascot ever!!!)

A Pleasant Shoppe has delightful handcrafted art/home decor by local artists. We found perfect pieces for our home both times we visited. Particularly love the selection of bird-themed art (e.g. Becker). Thank you for the friendly service, the great value, and one-of-a-kind crafts that will be the centerpiece of our home! See you next time we're in town.
