You'll be super pleased with their selection; find things you love/ need/ must have; and it will be a cheerful experience. Scroll down to the numbered list below to see what I scored. The Longer Story: I had just moved to town for a six month artists' residency in Rockland and didn't know a soul. After a bit of unmotivated unpacking, I took myself thrift store shopping, as one does, for retail therapy to fill the void. Luckily for me, Curator was the first spot I hit because I met co-owner Ben, a deeply friendly and cheerful guy. I met his wife Emily on my second visit. She's equally friendly and cheerful. And luckily for you, me, and everyone else we know* that might like to shop at Curator, both Emily and Ben love what they do. It shows. Curator is a bi-level shop with "menswear" (plus shoes & accessories) on the top floor and womenswear (plus shoes & accessories) a floor below. It's a gorgeous spot so whilst you're totally focused on your sartorial fix, take a few minutes to notice the thoughtful experiential design of the space--a lil modern, a lil dreamy, and a lot of DIY mojo. The first time I popped in I had a proper look around in order to get familiar with the Curator edit lens. In doing so, I found a pair of brand new, black leather Swedish clogs, size 6, that almost fit, but really didn't. Ben commiserated with me but reminded that sometimes things don't work out and that's totally okay. You know what? This is #truth. In thrifting, specifically, but in life, generally. I have pretty specific aesthetic when I thrift/ vintage/ consignment shop: excellent textiles/ fabric; handmade beauty; strong shapes/ cuts/ tailoring/ weaves; classic designs but also, the super quirkier, the better. Curator earns high marks in all of my categories. This is pretty rare. What it means is that I knew I would find something each time I came in and that's exactly what happened. Here's what I acquired: 1) a lovely VINTAGE SILK SCARF, cut, repurposed, and hand-stitched from a muted, lustrous apple-green silk obi with tiny, stylized, watercolor cherry blossoms. It should be said that the silk is excellent quality--heavy but super supple. $16.00. I wouldn't blink paying 10x that amount for this in Brooklyn or Paris. 2) a luscious oversized "menswear" CABLED CREAM CASHMERE SWEATER. I literally walked into the store, said hello to Emily, looked at the mens' sweater rack, saw *my* sweater hanging there, and snagged it. I've worn it at least once a week for 10 weeks running. Bonus: it's got good gauge (number of stitches per inch) and ply (number of cashmere threads twisted together to make the yarn). $38.00 Buy vintage cashmere, ya'll, always. 3) a FUZZY WOOLEN BEANIE, knit moss, plum, garnet & deep peony, from Nepal. Gorgeous colors. Warm as hell. $13.00 4) a crazy beautiful HAND-KNITTED ART SWEATER, again "menswear" so sized a bit enormous, but seriously fluffy & so wild and otherworldly, it had to be mine. Again: walked in, looked to my right, saw the sweater. Bought it. This weave is a medley of pelucid blues w/ intricate cream & white dropped-stitch-knit technique that looks as if "snowflakes" are resting on the garment, for a moment, w/o melting. I wouldn't be surprised if the maker had been dropping acid whilst knitting this piece, just as Van Gogh imbibed generous quantities of absinthe to produce his signature hypnotic, ethereal yet muscular brushwork for "Starry Night." That. Trippy. Y'all. Emily, bless her, asked if I'd like to try it on (perhaps because of its size & erm...vibe) and I declined. I knew I'd find use for it. I have worn it once, to sit on my sofa and drink champagne while I FaceTimed-celebrated my best childhood friend, finally divorced, because that is how we show up for each other: in any all ways possible. When we meet up again IRL, I will give this sweater to him because he truly deserves life's best, which sometimes arrives in unexpected, sweater-form shapes. $42.00 I'll end by noting that one can find more traditional, excellent things at Curator as well, like vintage LL Bean Sweaters; vintage Carhartt; vintage work wear including lots of Levis denim; a Pucci silk frock; a number of excellent plaid and thick weight shirts; fine leather goods; vintage jewelry; woolen capes; disco spectacular sequined numbers; and vintage Ts in fine condition, etc. Go. Enjoy yourself. And before you do, check Curator's social to learn of their COVID-safety protocols. Should you prefer to shop from home, check their IG & website. I took a look recently and it's not as wow-ing an experience as being in the store itself but of course, as a treasure hunter, you already know that. *(Thanks, Miranda July, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_and_You_and_Everyone_We_Know)

They only allow a set number of people into the two-story shop at a time. This means one has to queue in the front yard in order to get in but as it's a church thrift shop in gorgeous, peaceful, and quaint Camden, ME, one's line mates might become immediate thrifting buddies, as was the case with me. Time passes quickly when one is sharing banana bread recipes and wondering when the first frost will hit. Inside the shop, it's up to each person to maintain six feet or more feet of distance apart, per shop rules. Some folks wore gloves, everyone wore masks, it felt safe. And because there is so much lovely stuff to look at, it wasn't that difficult staying put in any given area, having a proper browse, whilst waiting for the next rack, shelf or display case to be clear. There seemed to be an unspoken choreography at play with folks just getting when to stay put and when to move. All of this takes time so please don't come for this shopping experience if you're in a rush. Like: why are you thrifting anyway? Thrifters know that at least 50% of the pleasure of hunting is the slow pace. I found a gorgeous, hand knit, variegated spruce green wool sweater (think deep dark fir run through with bits of turquoise, dark brown, pops of crimson, ecru and pale grey) that I swear-to-gods just took off to hand wash today, after wearing it several times a week for five weeks. It's become my blankie, my superpower, and sweater-shaped best friend. And when I was walking around in Maine, I looked like a spritely moving shrub. Cost: $10.00. I also found two excellent macrame wall hangings--70s-style or actually from the seventies. Mid-century freaks, FYI, this spot is for you as I paid $4.00 per piece. My newly found thrifting pals let me know that they shop at Heavenly Threads on the regular and then resale in their vintage stall down the way at 10 Mechanic street. They told me that the macrame pieces I found would make hipster summer folks mental. That just made me feel very good inside :D Just before I cashed out with one of the very sweet elder lady volunteers, I happened upon a number of lovely black and white mounted photographs and a strange little original lithograph. Acquired 8 works, 6 bucks. The hours are a bit odd, Wednesday-Saturday 12pm-3pm. Obviously, Saturday is the busiest day. It's worth it to make the trip over if you can, not just for the thrifting but for the gentle company of low-key Midcoast ME fellow thrifters and super nice staff.

I had found new sweat pants online for that price and free shipping, but thought I would check Goodwill. Oh well. Then ai found some at the Sally army thrift store for under $4 each and bought three pair. So if looking for particular non-clothing items, Inwill keep Goodwill as an option.
