It’s New to Us by Jean Stratton


TREASURE TROVE: “A very popular gift item has been the 1884 Princeton map. It’s a bird’s-eye view of Princeton at that time, and is a favorite of Princeton University alumni and people interested in Princeton history.” Kathy O’ Hara, manager of and buyer for the Morven Gift Shop, is shown by the map (above her left shoulder). To her right is the shop’s popular jewelry selection.

It has got to be the best kept secret in town! The Morven Museum Shop at 55 Stockton Street, next to the Museum, is filled with a selection of delightful surprises in a wide price range. The charming setting in an 1844 building that was formerly Morven’s Wash House makes browsing and buying an additional pleasure.


CUTS AND COLOR: “I enjoy being able to provide service for my clients. This is our focus. I wanted to create a place where we will provide unforgettable customer service every time someone comes in.” Daniel Smits, owner of the new salon at 830 State Road, stands beside one of the unique “hidden” closets with storage space for styling tools as well as clients’ handbags and belongings.
