    I've been going to Elmer's since I was three (or younger; these are my earliest memories of it),…read moreand remember playing on the swingset made of...I'm not sure if it was old phone poles, or butcher block, or logs, but something big and clunky; there was a cow or some odd animal for a swing with a barrel for a body...A wooden statue of Elmer in a t-shirt. My dad used to renovate run-down stuff he'd salvaged from the Alna Dump (dump picking was legal; this was the early 70s) and sell or trade to Elmer. Hours would go by. So much amazing and rusty junk, and random things like thousands of wooden eggs and bags of antique long white gloves and lace tablecloths sold by the pound. Anyway, it's an antique mall, now, but there is still the old vibe there, chickens wandering around, rusty sawblades, and if you go out in the back rooms which maybe you aren't supposed to...The smell of wet cement and the old creepy tools hanging up *chef's kiss* Oh, and you'll leave with something reasonably priced. Last trip's treasures were that Yes album with the six part fold-out-art ($8) and a kinda cheesy old painting with ornate frame ($13); I'll toss the painting and upcycle the frame. Pretty sure some ghosts "live" there...bring a camera and take some spooky pictures to see spirit orbs! Can't recommend an Elmer's afternoon highly enough, particularly on a cold, rainy day.

    Excellent used and vintage items shop. Multiple vendors with interesting well priced items. Owners…read moreare very nice and welcoming. A great stop on your way to wherever you are going. Plan on at least 30 minutes of browsing to get through the 3 levels.

    Always wanted to stop here and glad I did. Plenty of parking, a few permanent vendors and a few…read morefloating. Lots of nautical antiques, beautiful outdoor wire baskets, trellis, etc. Got a few lobster buoys. They even had 2 cool vintage real fire hydrants (around $200) which would be neat if you had a dog run.

    I love the Hobby Horse slogan posted on their website: "Always a great selection of moose antlers"…read moreand with that you know for sure, Toto, you're not in Kansas anymore but firmly grounded in a Maine experience. One of the gazillion things we love about Maine is the sheer number of flea markets that you run into while driving about during the spring, summer and early fall months. Hobby Horse was not the best we've been to nor the largest but we still enjoyed stopping by. There was a mixture of some antiques and interesting Maine arcana, a bit of sad junk and unfortunately some reproductions. Flea markets, like antique shops are often windows into the past of a particular community. I find this kind of "treasure" hunting irresistible. Prices were generally fair but remember, if you're polite you can always respectfully ask: "What's your best price?". You never want to insult the seller but sadly I've seen it done. You still have a little time to check this place out before it closes for the season in mid-October. It will re-open after that at the end of April. I find the sellers at most flea markets to be an interesting group of people and Hobby Horse was no exception to this. The sellers love to talk about collecting and about their wares and how they may have come by them. It makes for a fun time with an opportunity to learn a thing or two. Be a little wary though because sometimes the provenance stories of the items for sale are a little too good to be true. Nothing special jumped out at us during our visit so we didn't buy anything. We still had fun rummaging about. It's certainly worth a stop if you're driving up Route 1. You never know what creative decorating ideas you might come up with for a rack of moose antlers.
