----- Concise Review…read more Smell goods, coffees, cooking, temporary tattoos... friendly smiles... and much more ----- Longer Review We traveled to South Tamworth, New Hampshire, by way of Boston, MA and then North Conway, NH, for the wedding of our niece to her husband. The trip was brief - Thursday evening to Sunday, but filled with family, fun, and some exploring. On Saturday morning, while our son did homework in the room, while my wonderful wife was exercising, our daughter and I explored North Conway, NH. We visited Poppy & Vale, which is filled with many things for the home. They have candles and many other items to provide scents for your home. They have many fancy ways to make food... Moroccan cooking tangines, knives, pitchers, glasses, syrups. Wine items including a frog-shaped wine foil remover (removes the wine outside of the cork). Other items - t-shirts, stationery, soaps and more. And to our daughter's thrill... temporary tattoos, in the shapes o butterflies and more. Great store. ----- ----- -----

Proprietor David Johnston recently replaced the rush seats in our four ladderback chairs and we…read morecould not be more pleased with the results. David is truly a craftsman. And the job was finished in a timely fashion, just as promised. We had considered replacing the chairs, but for less than half that expense we were able to keep the chairs we've enjoyed for almost fifty years. We highly recommend doing business with The Craft Shop in Windham, ME.

What a fun little discovery on my way into town. I have passed this place a zillion times and had…read moresaid I would stop eventually. Well, stop I did, to see if they had a gift for a friend's birthday. First, I love any store that smells like balsam as you walk through the door. The scent makes me feel like a kid again. I'm not from Maine (have been here long enough to feel at home), but as a kid we used to drive here from Ohio and spend a few weeks going up and down the coast. The smell of balsam reminds me of these trips. Second, I was shocked by the variety they had. Maple syrup, Maine souvenirs, crafting supplies, wooden figurines, and antiques. The have a sign stating that they "glue chairs". I didn't know that was a thing, but apparently, it is... They also sell wreaths and Christmas trees during the appropriate season. And finally, the owners were as nice as could be. They had out hot chocolate for the kids, and they wrapped my little gift up neatly. This little shop is well worth the drive into town because of how darn cute it is!

That being said, Brick and Mortar is the perfect LOCAL shop for your holiday shopping needs specializing in home-kitchen-garden items. The layout and store front are beautifully organized offering unique, one of a kind items perfect for gifts or personal indulgence. They currently have some of the most gorgeous Christmas ornaments I've ever seen and sell an array of The Woods merchandise including Maine-made sea bags. After one visit I am already in love with this store and can't wait to do all my Christmas shopping right in Norway! COVID-19 has definitely had its setbacks but I am so happy this store has emerged despite it all-- PLEASE SHOP LOCAL!

I did not know I needed a purple faux jaguar carpet throw until I discovered it one day and now my entryway is complete. This is a charming store full of very interesting and eye-catching items for your home - or a gift for someone who appreciates quality. Excellent service, and while the prices can be high, the quality does in fact make them worthwhile. Viand doesn't carry goods you purchase and toss in a few years, these are new friends that will stay in your life for a long, long time.

Everything is extremely high quality, and I believe local artists are supported by Viand. The workers are professional, sweet, and chic. My one qualm is that it is very pricey and I often don't find anything that fits my taste, despite the store being filled with wonderful finds. Worth a look for sure!

I bought a beautiful little painting in encaustic, and the price was reasonable. (No New York City prices here!) Some works are by full-time artists, others by amateurs, or people who just do art on the side. Because of the location, there definitely is a 'Maine wilderness' bias in the art, but I bought something abstract, for example. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by - it's open 7 days.
