Been shopping at SCA for years and it’s always my go to place for new jewelry and gifts for friends or family. Dana is a pleasure and is always so engaging and welcoming. SH is lucky to have a shop like this in town :)

This review is no reflection on the artists represented in the store but staff present at approximately 2 pm est on August 17th.I’ve shopped here since the first year they appeared in Stone Harbor. Selection is always thoughtful, curated for quality and reflective of a high level of artistic vision.But today’s experience left me feeling utterly embarrassed and likely never to return.While shopping I was on the phone with a cousin who lost her father last week. I was actively shopping and talking like I’ve seen so many do in other shops in town. Just a busy mom and business owner finally getting some time to herself to catch up with a friend and indulge in a few purchases:(I was examining several items repeatedly and had the incident not occurred I’d likely have spent over $300 based on what was catching my eye. The lapis serpentine ring in the front case was amazing btw and the rings in the back counter cabinet (looked a bit vintage/estate) also incredible. Oh and the hand painted clam shells, wished I could have grabbed one!The conversation was not profane in any way. In fact I was talking about how her and her children’s grieving process was going. My mom was shopping with me and didn’t even notice I was on a call. My voice is more of a powerful one so perhaps that was the problem? But my volume certainly wasn’t more than say two friends shopping together talking excitedly.I was asked to leave. I was told in a very curt, cold and what felt Pretty Woman-esque, that I needed to take my conversation outside immediately.The store was full, folks were checking out. I was certainly not inhibiting sales.I won’t return likely, so Big Mistake, Small Crafts Advisory….HUGE. LolAll jokes aside, as a modern business owner I believe you need to understand that busy women are multitasking like never before and an innocent chat on the phone while selecting gifts (shopping!) is a MASSIVE form of self care. Also kindness should reign and today it certainly did not.

I love this store. Educated staff. Will help you select the perfect item. Something for everyone. Jewelry Devine!!! Thoughtfully selected merchandise all sourced from domestic artists. If you can't find something beautiful here for you and everyone you know, just stay home and order from Amazon.

Friendliest shop who features unique American and locally made art, gifts and jewelry. Every item that catches your eye has been hand crafted and unique. Be prepared to spend some time in this store eyeing the artwork along with fun and catchy phrases that will make you giggle.

Let me tell you how much I love this store. Hand made items by local artisans. Whenever you purchase, you're putting money into the hands of people who are doing what they love, creating unique items for you to purchase and cherish. I love the pottery in this place- not to mention the jewelry.

I have been shopping here since it opened and have sent countless people here to find unique pieces. The owner is extremely helpful and has introduced me to many different small artists from all over the country. She makes such an effort to carry unique pieces that you cannot find anywhere else and they are all made in America. If you are anywhere in South Jersey, definitely make a trip to Small Crafts!

Never been to a more over-priced store in possibly my whole life. I know It's a vacation town but still... A useless array of knick knacks dot the shelves while inattentive staff focuses on their phone instead of the customer. Save your money! Shop somewhere else next time you want to buy an overpriced crab claw bottle opener

My son was excited to buy a gift for his 6 year old sister. For $6.50 he bought a 'surprise ball' which he was told by the sales clerk contained fun toys for kids....all of which would be a surprise. My 6 year old daughter opened her gift by unwrapping the ball until it was just a small size. She found mini smarties, a toy ring, and a little piece of plastic with a parachute....toys that you normally get inside the plastic eggs from vending machines at the grocery store. About 25 cents worth of product. This kind of product isn't fit for the Wildwood boardwalk. This business should be ashamed for selling this to kids.

I never miss this adorable store! They have beautiful things from artists. So many adorable things to look at. I'm in love with this glass pig with wings. The help is very kind and genuine too. I scored an adorable little oyster made of clay with a small pearl and bought the companion dish that goes with it. All for 50% off! My daughter bought a lovely trinket dish with crackled blue and white glaze at the bottom. We are very happy with our purchases!

I have been shopping here for years. The mix of merchandise has changed a lot- especially since they moved to their new location but they are always worth a look- lots of unique items. The jewelry is especially interesting- I usually end up trying to decide between two items and end up getting both. Most items are one-of-a-kind so if you like it, get immediately as there seems to be a pretty quick turnover. The people who work there are always very nice and friendly. There's no pressure to sell you anything- it's fine just to browse.
