Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of wet paper and citrus oil. Shelves are salted to deter mildew and lined with bits of driftwood and shells as bookmarks. Marisol hums tuneless shanties while she works and keeps a battered weathered bell by the door that she rings precisely at dusk to call local sailors in.
