Palestina helped me try on every carrier she had so that I could find the right fit for me and my baby. She had many different brands and variations within the brands.

It seems everyone wanted to redecorate at the same time! I started working with a designer, Joanna Tisko, last October. She helped me design an odd shaped room and guided me through the decision making process. She was able to provide and excellent design and choice of fabrics, styles and furniture pieces. She matched my new window treatments and was so careful in explaining the details of this transaction to me. We are still awaiting delivery but the kid glove treatment I have received from her and her associates has given me the reassurance I need to patiently wait for the arrival of my furniture. My husband is also pleased. Were this any other time, all would be set. Thank you Joanna

The Hanover Crossing mall in Hanover has been in the midst of a major and much needed makeover for…read morethe last few years. The construction is nearing completion and has turned an old-fashioned mostly indoor mall of years past into a more modernized version of an outside shopping center with stores having their own buildings accessed from well manicured outdoor sidewalks with plenty of parking in the middle of it all. While not as charming as the Derby Street Shops which underwent a similar makeover about 15 years ago, but still nice and certainly much improved from the dated mess that was there previously. This latest L.L. Bean outpost has recently opened and I paid it a visit a few days ago. It is certainly big, bright and well-organized although of course not nearly as mammoth and wonderful as the original satellite store in Freeport Maine. But I am pleased to have this location so close by. As with everything everywhere prices have gone up on much of the tried and true L.L. Bean merchandise and products are no longer made in the USA. Most things it seems at L.L. Bean have been outsourced to China which continues to be a disappointment. I miss the days of the USA made products that could once be found here. But there are reasons still to shop at L.L. Bean. I am a decades long fan of their Ragg wool socks for example which I wear throughout the winter. They are very warm, comfortable and last a long time. I am also a big fan of their canvas tote bags and I cannot tell you how many of those I own. I keep at least 4 of them in my car at all times as they are the bags I bring with me to go to the supermarket and to the farmers market, etc. They are my beach and boat tote bags as well. They are sturdy, strong, can be machine washed and dried and they last for years. And they are fun to have monogrammed with initials or any word or phrase up to 10 characters. I also love the L.L. Bean H2O rain coat and H2O rain jacket I own which both have hoods and zip-out liners. These are so good at keeping me warm dry in the rain that I no longer use an umbrella (I hate umbrellas so this is a big win!). I am looking to get a new H2O rain jacket so when I am ready, I'm glad to be able to get it here. My husband just found very nice, warm pair of leather gloves here in a men's size XL. He is a big guy and has such trouble finding XL gloves with long enough fingers so this was good news. Nothing of course will meet the shopping experience and scope of the original Freeport Maine store but I am very happy to have this store nearby for easy access.

A lot of the merchandise does center around "paper" like cards, gift wrapping accessories and stationery. However that turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the other things they have include Vera Bradley merchandise, costume jewelry, the very fun Alex & Ani bracelet collection, some women's clothing, candles, children's toys, books, local Massachusetts items, home decor like Mariposa and plenty of other things that can be attention grabbers. It's crazy how I can get myself caught up in here looking around. It's hard not to find a little something to buy myself or something as a fun gift for a friend. Ironically I suppose, I don't love the card selection as they Hallmark which are not my favorite. Last year I purchased a Vera Bradley carry-on tote for a trip I was taking. It's a travel bag I've come to love. Not only is it pretty (VB fabrics can be really eye-catching) but I can fit so many things into it and because it's "soft-sided" it's easy to stuff into an overhead bin on a plane or even under the seat. Contrary to another review which said returns are difficult, I found it quite easy to exchange an Alex & Ani bracelet I received at Christmas. I had gotten two of the same bracelet and they happily let me pick out another even without having a receipt. If you sign up for their rewards program, you will regularly receive coupons and a special treat in your birthday month. Nothing too precious here, just some happy shopping in a large, clean, friendly store.
