Some of my most cherished belongings came from his shop, and I eagerly await to see what I'll find next time! This place should not be missed if you're in the area. Additionally, the owner, James, is so knowledgeable about everything in the shop. His passion for the items in his collection is evident. Getting to chat with him about his newest items is half the fun!

I stopped by Smith's antiques on a mid March sojourn to Cornish Maine for my daughter's birthday…read more Cornish is one of our favorite towns in Maine. "Quaint" does not even begin to do it justice. Unfortunately, after arriving, we found out that Smith's antiques was the only shop in town open as most of the others do not open until May. We ventured in and spent a long long time looking at what amounts to be an incredible collection of vintage and antique items. Slice of life items from old Maine homes. Glass milk bottles, ice cream boxes, dairy containers, grocery signs, old wall telephones, mirrors, pieces of furniture and almost any kind of bric-a-brac you can imagine. The incredible collection in this store makes it an almost historical museum like experience. It is truly a fascinating place to spend an hour or so looking through a window into the past. With that said, the prices seem somewhat random and can range wildly. A beautiful solid looking coat rack might be $150 while a cardboard sign for cheese could be $85. There really are no deals contained within but this might be the kind of place to find the exact piece a collector might be looking for. Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be meandering along Main Street in Cornish Maine.

I called this guy at the beginning of the summer and asked him where he relocated to. He said he…read morewasn't open yet and to call him the following week. I called him today, which is many weeks after I last spoke to him, and again asked him where he relocated to and what his hours are. He again said that he wasn't open yet and to call him back later because he's with a customer. What? This guy is really weird and I don't need this runaround. I'll take my business somewhere else.

Unfortunately the place is homeless these days - well, store-less. I called the owners and went to…read moretheir barn to look at what they have, which is a ton. Steve and Sharon are pretty awesome people, and I talked with Steve for more than an hour. He's got a ton of stories and they're amazingly interesting. His barn isn't really enough to show off what he has (his barn is actually his workshop). So after looking around there I and my two travel-mates were led through their house, where they have so much more (including some seriously old and amazing things). In addition to looking through what they have at their home, Steve will look for you if you have something in particular you want. These people are genuine and have their heart and soul in their business, it's endearing and welcoming. If you're around Portland and interested in legit, unique, found-nowhere-else items call them up and arrange a stopoff at their place (until they find a store to display it all, that is). You will absolutely not regret it. P.S. They're trying to keep up with putting things on their website, so have a look there too!

When my bf and I decided to take a long weekend in Southern Maine in the fall, we made a stop at…read morePortland to walk around and explore the shops before having dinner. We stumbled upon the China Sea Marine Trading Co., and since we both love random, crazy stores we had to peek inside to see what they had. Its like a crazy antique store that deals solely in marine-related objects, perfect considering its location in a port city. The first moment you walk in, its very overwhelming and feels like a room filled with piles of junk that are randomly placed, but after the initial shock the objects fall into place and you can see the path meandering between the stacks and shelves. Items include clothing, telescopes, ship lamps, ship steering wheels and many other objects related to ships, maps, medals, photos, and art collected by the ships (I mostly saw African art while we were there). Its so much fun to peruse through all the items, there are incredible finds hidden everywhere! Our only problem was the objects we really wanted were *ahem* out of our price range. But this store is definitely a place to check out whenever you are in Portland.
