Tired of seeing "made in Morocco" on every label you spy? If you're looking to support the home team and get your fill of fine, handcrafted gifts, Michael and Pat Merkle's boutique is the perfect stop. American-made home decor items include art-glass plates, kaleidoscopes, table fountains and Bill Campbell pottery ($9 and up). Gallimaufry also carries Baby Bobux shoes, comfy Pennsylvanian sheepskin slippers, candles and jewelry boxes. Their large selection of handmade jewelry includes gemstones, titanium, niobium, silver and gold. Dichroic glass pendants and pins provide ample sparkle.
Seasonal items include a variety of ornaments (starting at $9), like an Appalachian Mountain glass ornament and limited edition Santa and elf pins, signed and numbered. For a special keepsake, listen to the delicate song of a handcrafted Italian music box.
