Meet Linda at Pink Papaya

Linda Dickson, who, along with her husband John, runs one of Cruz Bay’s most successful retail stores…Pink Papaya, which they bought from its original owner about five years ago.

The sign out front says “Art and ‘Ting with a Tropical Zing,” and that pretty much sums up this store, that’s chock full of jewelry, local art, colorful house wares and a lot of other stuff. The one thing the inventory has in common? Color. Lots of it.

Meet Linda, get a tour of Pink Papaya and see some of its unique treasures, below!

    I wonder if there is any home on the island that doesn’t at least have a tin lizard, frog, turtle or fish, or some item of decor from this shop? It’s great.

    I forgot to get my Diane Artware ornament when I was down this year and was disappointed when I realized it putting up my tropical tree this year. Linda came to the rescue and now my tree is complete! Thanks for the great service Linda!

    She is the NICEST. I love her. She was so nice to my kids. Looked all over the store for some kind of toy or truck for my son. Great store. One of my favs!

    Linda is simply the best. Every October when we come down for our 2 weeks we always stop in to say hi to her and we always end up buying something….I have almost as much of her stuff in my home in Boston as she does in the store. Keep up the good work.

    Great store and Linda and John are terrific. Hankering for Vietnamese coffee this wintry AM! Thanks for these portraits of our STJ friends.

    We,too, always make sure to stop in at least once during our trips to St. John. Linda is great and the store is filled with so many little treasures. I always seem to find one or two to bring home.
