Great collection of local artist's work. If you are looking for something to remind you of your trip to coastal Maine (Downeast), this place is one-stop shopping. Purchased an item perfect for completing a room in our home in Tampa and Susan shipped it directly to us. Great place to bring home some truly unique art.

OPEN MEMORIAL DAY THRU EARLY OCTOBER. This is a seasonal, one-woman working studio with all pottery being made on-site by the shop owner. The potter's wheel is located in the front of the shop and customers are encouraged to watch Julie throwing her pieces there. The glaze/kiln area is open for viewing as well. Questions about the pots and process are always welcome. Her work focuses on functional, practical pottery meant to be used and to enhance your quality of life on a daily basis.

I stop by here every time I'm in town for the summer. Terrific collection for gifts (and for self!). The annual calendar is a fixture in my study, and never fails to transport me to the Maine coast with just a glance.

When you think of “The Best Pet Store in Maine” you might think of a warehouse-sized, linoleum-floored, fluorescent-lit behemoth with a moose or lobster on the side of it. But for people who truly love their pets, it's quality, rather than quantity, that counts. We stock our shop with high-quality dog and cat foods, locally made treats and toys, and Maine-made collars and leashes. Free local delivery. Once you visit us, you will come back again and again. We got the idea to open a shop when our Black Lab “Max” began talking to us in barely audible tones, saying “...build me a shop and stock it with all kinds of tasty things for me to eat...” That complete, Max's orders became more direct-- “Build me a Dog Army of Labs that I might conquer the earth and impose my will upon all living creatures...” So we acquired Auggie and Buddy -- Max's Black Lab Lieutenants. These days, the shop is ruthlessly run by Max and his two hench-dogs whilst we obey his every order, however ridiculous.

Very friendly staff and great popcorn! No samples due to COVID but tons of flavors and options. The Maine Maple was delicious. Would love to return.
