While it would appear that the front counter is made of wood, especially judging by the hardwood top surface, caution stripes color the sides - but don't worry, they don't flash or anything. The counter's style is no more distracting than anything else within the shop, in fact it blends in pretty well!
The shopkeeper,
Galilea Grimaldi, can usually be found sitting or standing behind the counter alone or with the company of her toddler, Fitz. If not, again - don't worry, she's still somewhere in the store; probably in the backroom or off helping a customer. Hold tight and she'll be right with you!
OOC: Please do not chat in this thread unless it's with the shopkeeper (Shanners)! This thread is for check-out as well as asking questions and/or for assistance, and there are two other threads for RP chatter.
