“The last thing I want to do is to make this a pretentious, expensive place,” saidowner Julie Brooks.

She envisions Gaga as a “neighborhood art store” and has always tried hard to “have a price range.”

On this given week Brooks is featuring funky necklaces, at $30 a piece; cheerful wooden ornaments for $15; Swampscott picture books, $20; books by local authors; a bicycle by ceramic artist Bradley Backer for $75; as well as individually crafted wooden deck railing ornaments for $150.
