This is the place to go for all your framing. Sandy has decades of framing experience and good…read moretaste. Her eye is impeccable. Her prices are extremely reasonable, the quality is excellent, and the turn-around time is fast. Her studio is large and well-lit. If you need/want input, Sandy will offer several suggestions and will lay out options. If you know what you want - no problem! She'll make sure it's exactly that. She has an enormous array of frames and mats and does amazing work on wrapped canvases and shadow boxes as well as more traditional art framing. I've had five items framed at Mill River in the last two years, and will bring future artwork only to her. Sandy is friendly and welcoming, and treats a new customer as if you've been friends for years. She's self-deprecating and has a wonderfully dry sense of humor. Her work time estimates are always right on the nose. I whole-heartedly recommend Sandy and Mill River Custom Framing.

Driving along a main road in search of our breakfast stop, we passed by Claudette's, not realizing…read morethat it was in her home. My mom and I were up for the weekend and we were intrigued by some pictures found online, so we decided to add a stop to our agenda. When we arrived, there were a few cars there, so we parked near them and a door that we assumed was the entrance. When we entered we were overwhelmed by the amount of products, followed by the amount of space that was dedicated to crafting. I wouldn't think that so much stuff could fit so neatly into one person's home. The first few aisles are lined with charms for necklaces, bracelets and other needs for crafting projects. There were rows of beads, gems, and other fun goodies. I found a bunch of wreath making supplies, a room of flowers and a room of ribbon...and some Christmas items. The owner is a super nice person and I can only assume that she was "the" Claudette, since I never did ask her name. My mother and I were just so excited speaking with her and checking out the craft samples that she and her family had made. This place is for the true crafter. One who isn't afraid to spend their time looking through thousands of items just to find that perfect piece. Though I'm sure if you ask, you will be told right where you will find what you're looking for. I did not see any scrapbook or junk journal type materials. Because the business is in the lower portion of a home, I would assume it is due to climate control. Did I mention that the prices are quite reasonable? I left with a full bag of so many fun things that I just can't wait to dive into. The store is closed on Sunday and Monday, so be sure to plan accordingly. Mom and I are already planning our next trip.

There's a new art gallery in town and I love it. The Parlor at Plainspoke is a small gallery with…read moredifferent exhibits to see. The space is clean and sleek, and doesn't distract from the art at all. And the relatively small size means that small unknown artists can have a show in their own gallery. This is a really good thing for Portsmouth and it deserves everyone's support.

Nice country store with a multitude of venders on two floors of the store. This is more of Gift…read morestore than of Consignment or antique style store. Lot of good items to purchase as you browse the booths. Mostly of venders showcasing their specialties. Perhaps like a walk in Etsy store. It was fun to walk around and view the items. Had to nickname the upstairs squeaky floor as the floors squeaked a lot.

Cole's Corner is a throwback for me, as it was one of the spots we used to regularly stop in during…read moresummer trips to Maine when I was a kid. Since we were in Wells on our way to the nearby Maine Diner for lunch, we thought a stop here would be a fun blast from the past - so off we went. CC is essentially a collective of vendors who are selling their merchandise; the store is divided into little "cubbies" across two floors - with each cubby showcasing a specific vendor and their merch. The selection varies - lots of home decor in varying styles, but I also saw a lot of crap too like used Tupperware and old McDonald's toys from the 90s. There were a few VHSs which awesome if you're collecting those - but then I saw some marked up Beanie Babies? We were truly stepping back in time when entering Cole's. Overall, this was a fun throwback - there's a lot of stuff here to see so you can easily spend a good chunk of time going through each vendor. If you're staying in the Wells/Kennebunkport area it's worth a stop in.
