The owner’s penchant for descriptors, such as ‘darling’ and ‘lovely,’ indicate the Bell Jar’s governing mission—to sell gorgeous little things for women with discerning, artistic, whimsical (and expensive) taste. With a shop name that pays homage to one of tortured poet Sylvia Plath’s feminist odes, the Bell Jar offers flouncy, whimsical, usually haute-couture apparel hand-crafted by local fashion renegades; old-fashioned, fancy home decor, such as a vintage ceramic horse statue and a taxidermy double-headed chick; and curiosities ranging from a shark-tooth, gold-chain necklace to fabric embroidery of a gutted venison. Come to be amazed and empty your wallet.
