“This store is filled with a very nice variety of original paintings and handcrafted items from local artists. Definitely worth taking some time to look around at everything, there’s plenty to see.”
— Allie Cushin★★★★★
“The sisters who own and operate this cute boutique arts craft shop in Delmar offer unique gifts of high quality. But what I love the most is that 2x year for about 10 days each they open their doors to refugee's works without commission. They clear shelves and allow the refugee artisans to sell their products free of charge and keep 100% of their sales! With such an example why wouldn't you pay it forward and shop at Merriman ?”
— Brendan Mooney★★★★★
