There’s been a store here for well over a hundred years according to current owner Sandra Godwin.  They have wonderful vintage, interesting antiques, books and ephemera with strong collection of photography items – daguerreotypes, tintypes, photo books, postcards and old photographs.  The owners are both photographers and they show their own work as well as that of other contemporary photographers. “I love coming to work”  Sandra told me, and who can blame her. She gets to spend the day in this beautiful store, a loom set up in the back room and for company there’s Tiger, the resident greeter. If this sounds idyllic to you – well, the Packet Galleries is for sale…
