proved to be the perfect combination.

likable gifts and is a master in making delicious Fruit
Smoothies and mixed drinks. She has already received several
compliments for her tasty "rum punches", while Julius, better
know as "Africa", designs little colorful birdhouses and other crafts.
Calvin Lynn , both enthusiastic entrepreneurs,
are proud to have formed such a creative team, a solid proof of what
one can achieve with networking and teamwork. Lynn, always in search
of new items and craftwork to offer her customers, is in charge
of the Gift shop. You can find a variety of gifts, art and
exclusive Collections of Guavaberry products. Hand painted bottles
and special designed Anguilla Boats sun coloration T Shirts are
rated amongst our bestsellers.

Interior d�cor is a new addition to their
collection and is part of a special concept that represents just a
small selection of a wider choice that is in stock at their suppliers.
Customers can purchase furniture as single items,
but they can also combine items to furnish a complete interior.
Calvin and Lynn are pleased with the increased demand for artwork by our local artists, which they also hope to promote internationally through the extended family relationship with Bartlett's Kunst in Wonen in the Netherlands (visit the web page at: www.bartletts.nl)
Location: in the Sandy Ground roundabout halfway between the airport and the West End. Summer hours: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Closed Sundays and Thursdays

Merchants Market for Good Food
An excellent shopping source for food in Anguilla is Merchants Market, a wholesaler for restaurants who also serves the general public.
We just bought rack of lamb, veal rack trim, a 5-lb bag of shrimp and a box of Strip First Cut Buckhead steaks (Black Angus), in order to cope with a family visit.
They don't have a catalog or a price list, so just ask for what you need (cilantro, roast of beef, lemons, you name it!). Merchants Market is a bit tricky to find, since there is no sign: in The Valley take the dirt road that turns in at the Anguilla Drug Store and look for the entry pictured below in the next building. Open til 4pm Monday-Friday, til noon on Saturday. Tel: 264.497.5533
Items for Sale.HP inkjet print cartridge tri-color US$40.00 and black US40.00. GE Super Capacity Plus Washing Machine: 4 size load capacity, 5 wash/spin speeds, 20 clothes care cycles. Never been used US $ 550.00. Contact Lynn 497-6625

"We stayed there in March. It was great! Not too fancy, just clean and simple. Most rooms have a nice balcony or patio. ... The top floor rooms have the best views and they have a small pool. We think they have one of the very best restaurants on the island (Zara's)! Gwen's, just a short walk down to the beach is our most favorite place to "HANG OUT" in more ways than one! "
