    So far, Newtonville Books (bought books and a great canvas tote bag that has a Groucho Marx quote about reading books on it), the New England Mobile Book Fair (bought books and lovely holiday greeting cards), Busy Bee Flowers (the proprietor is wonderful!), and Marty’s Fine Wines, to name just a few.

    Folklorica is a jam-packed Newton Centre shop where I’ve found so many gifts – wonderful jewelry and really beautiful art pottery. The women who run it are also kind and funny.
