It's a favorite for its colorful array of island-made
seasonings like 'rum peppers' and 'mango magic.' Spices are also packaged as hangover
cures and bad-spirit repellents. Yummy smelling natural soaps and shampoos use ingredi-
ents such as lime, chamomile and coconut. The adjoining gallery sells paintings, pottery,
jewelry and dolls by local craftspeople. The building, a born-again West Indian cottage, is
a visual delight.
