I was wandering through Fishtown in Leland, Michigan and I came upon a split store - half "Tack and Jibe" (wonderful boating life-inspired accessories) and half Fishtown Preservation Society.
In addition to accepting donations to preserve Fishtown, they also sell promotional items that supporters can purchase to declare that Fishtown is important to them. I saw mugs, shirts, hats, but what caught my eye was a wall display of knit fish ornaments, which I think is genius! What a charming way for the society gain support. The shop girl told me that her mother ties a fish on the neck of a wine bottle when she brings wine to a party - I love that!
I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't make an impulse buy that day, but I think a school of fish is in my future.
