Shopping
Long Island is well known for the straw creations of the late Miss Ivy Simms, who established a small straw work factory in the Simms settlement, where she and her staff produced finely-made bags, baskets, hats and other articles. Today, there are still many persons there specializing in the art of straw plaiting and you can purchase one of a kind straw pieces, such as dolls and Christmas ornaments. Also visit the little boutiques and stores scattered throughout the settlements for handicraft and other souvenir items, so that you can take a piece of our island back with you. |
