It’s time to shop. But instead of heading to the mall, or staying home and shopping online, fill your gift needs by shopping at some locally owned and operated stores in the Port Orchard community. Here’s a sampling of what some of them have to offer: Revisited Antiques & Furniture 738 Bay St., Port Orchard Phone: 360-552-2305 This is the place to go to if you have someone on your list that likes old things, or collects a bit of the weird and strange. A mixture of antiques and collectibles, there’s a large section of turquoise jewelry, including rings in a variety of sizes and prices. For that favorite nephew who collects Coca Cola items, there’s an entire collection for sale. Included is a Danbury Mint 1940s Coke salesman’s replica car at $180. The store also has a vintage Elina Sewing Machine in grasshopper green for $115, complete with a carrying case. For the fishing enthusiast, there’s a collection of antique fly fishing rods, beginning at $60. Add in an old Vintage Eskimo-brand cooler ice chest at $125, and he’ll be ready to hit the lake. The store also has a great selection of old tools, including a wood-handled hatchet for $45 and an antique wooden C-clamp for $100. And in case you know someone who collects Lionel electric trains, this is the place. Pieces start at $25 and there’s even a 1991 Season’s Greetings train car with Santa. Wisteria Lane 802 Bay St., Port Orchard Phone: 360-874-7800 Its window adorned with
