Mrs. Beeton said "Dine we must and we may as well dine elegantly as well as wholesomely." We think Mrs. Beeton would be proud of our of offering of unique home accessories and kitchen gadgets.

Salty Dog Bookshoppe
Victorians are voracious readers, benefiting from higher education, lower costs of publication and electricity in homes. Imagine the sailor-boy, with a rope over his shoulder, eagerly reading “Treasure Island.” The clerks pouring into London by train carrying a penny fiction with which to beguile the journey. A girl sucking mysterious sticky lozenges as she dog-ears the book “Mariage à la Mode." As Dickens said, "Books keep alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time." Get one today and experience the magic of reading!
