| - I hope Sasmart lasts forever. It's clearly been around for a long time. This may be apparent from its somewhat-dated exterior, but mostly because of the assortment of surprisingly affordable great-quality, new-vintage house- and cookware.
Agree with the previous 5-star reviews - it's a hard place to sum up in a sentence, because you really don't know what oddball kitschy gift or really useful gadget you'll end up finding. I've bought really cheap unused vintage wrapping paper and 2B pencils, a huge plastic washing/ bathing tub, new glass and wood storage canisters made in France (for an incredible deal), and a kitsch stationery holder shaped like a lion for a friend's birthday.
You will find fantastic deals here on great-quality stuff - much cheaper than nearby carefully-curated kitchen stores. Because much if not most of the wares here are unused vintage, a lot of them are made in places like Canada/France/Italy and before everything became disposable.
The folks that own/run the place are very friendly, and have a sweet old pug that sometimes sleeps behind the counter.
I've generally stayed out of the clothing section, but thanks to a previous reviewer, it looks like I'll have to check it out!
Sasmart sits opposite grungy Bellevue Square park, just off the beaten path of Augusta. I highly suggest that you pay a visit next time you're in the market!
