Buddy, the dog, is a well known fixture at this store. Though he is ten years old, he didn't seem skittish around customers at all and welcomed belly rubs. Very cute! Great little gift shop! If I'm ever up this way again, I'll be sure to stop by again.

Why do they keep all the tacky stuff out front and center? This store constantly disappoints me,…read moreeverything on display is often either poorly made or disgustingly cutesy/shabby.

I follow this story on Instagram and I am addicted, pretty much every piece they post. The location is in cute Dover and the store is pretty large so I encourage you to go and look on every level, in every nook. I have gotten a few items from here and have never been disappointed. If you see something online they have and cannot get there immediately, just reach out to them and, if not already taken, they will hold one day for you to get there to see if it is what you want to purchase. I also have to say the prices are very reasonable. And, sometimes they do these 20% events - when they do, I try to go up even if I don't think I want or need anything. It is just a fun place to visit and imagine how something would fit into your space.

Not only is this stuff prison made, it's beautiful. Exquisite cutting boards (which I find so ironic), and wooden bowls that belong in West Elm, and that's just a taste! They also carry Prison Blues, jeans made by inmates in Oregon. The guys that were working there were very knowledgeable and friendly and allowed me plenty of time to browse. I bought a birdhouse that looks like the old Maine State Prison ($15) and a few wooden switch-plate covers ($4). Oh, and a macrame bracelet (made by guards - the inmates taught them how). Definitely drive out of your way to visit! When I am in Maine, I will be back!
