Shop Local A guide to shopping on Nantucket

by Leslie Linsley

Christmas Stroll is a special time on Nantucket when islanders and visitors come together to celebrate the season. When you shop local your gifts will be reminders of what a unique place this is, and you will be supporting the talented people who work hard to create a joyful holiday experience. Whether it’s a handcrafted piece of jewelry, homemade candies or a painting by a local artist, your gifts will be as special as this island and shopping local creates good will and brings out the best in everyone.

The shop of Anna P. Jay can be found at 5 Washington St. where a rotating selection of female jewelry designers showcases their work. The distinctive jewelry is designed for women who appreciate unparalleled artistry. Commemorate a special occasion with a custom-made wedding band, cuff links, a distinctive bracelet or necklace made on Nantucket.

The Artists Association of Nantucket at 19 Washington St. represents local artists. The two

floors of the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery are filled with local artwork and the Big Gallery in the Macy Warehouse at 12 Straight Wharf is an extension of the nonprofit organization supporting Nantucket artists and preserving the legacy of art on Nantucket. Stroll through both galleries to see the exceptionally wide range of artistic expression represented here.

In business for over 35 years, Aunt Leah’s Fudge is everyone’s go-to crowd pleaser, holiday-ready in cherry red gift boxes with gold ties. Make a big hit with a little box or tin for all your sweeties. The new popup gift corner is filled with uniquely curated Nantucket themed items.

This iconic shop features its own handmade leather goods that include purses, shoes, jackets, wallets and belts, as well as local scrimshaw and jewelry.

Nantucket Sextant, a novel by Mary Keating

A sextant is an astronomical instrument used for measuring angular distances of celestial bodies to determine latitude and longitude. Nantucket sits at latitude 41° 17' 0. 46" N; longitude 70° 5' 58.06" W. Nantucket whalers used their sextants to navigate their way home under the stars. Andrea, Weezie and Molly find themselves without a sextant to guide them. Under the celestial skies of December they must see into their own hearts from every angle until the Christmas Stroll ends and maybe hope and Nantucket remain.
