There are rooms of games, Maine items, body products and jewelry, and kitchen wares and jams. There are Christmas themed rooms, kids games, candles and glassware. You name it, they have it. The kinds of things offered are probably selected through the eye of the buyer, and, to be fair, there was a wide range of options. After walking through, and looking at a whole lot, I was still unable to find a gift that caught my eye. I see that as more my problem than theirs.

If you are a local or visiting and you only make time for one souvenir/gift shop make it this one…read more Everything they have are made by locals which is great place to support local makers/artists. They have a ton of variety including smaller less expensive items to larger paintings that may cost more. Staff have always been extremely friendly and will greet you with a smile and answer any questions you have. It will always be the store that helped me find one of my favorite local artists Flyn who have since opened their own retail space. Truly the perfect spot to grab yourself or family that item that will remind you of your time in Maine. You will find at least one item you want to purchase if not more. Also you can proudly say that you helped support a local artist/maker. 100% worth your time visiting! As a local I make a point to revisit this place frequently.

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!

There are some places in this world that are so unique they recharge your internal energy and leave…read moreyou feeling better then when you arrived. Earth and Soul is one of those. The center of this energy is the owner, Sara, who is fun, kind, and exudes happiness. She has a small shop in front filled with a wide variety of pottery. Some is useful, like her lovely serving platters and bowls; some are fun, like her ornate chess sets; and some are architectural, like her sink basins and shower walls. Everything is unique and a good value. In the rear is a workshop where Sara conducts classes. Our family of four took on of her classes, and we had a marvelous time, although I am certain none of us will ever become professionals. There are three electric wheels, and Sara walks everyone through the process from beginning to end. We each made a couple of pieces, and we had time to start over several times (it is harder than it looks). We also used a cool machine that rolls out clay really flat, and the we could cut out shapes, or do freehand sculpture. You can do pretty much anything you like. You have to visit twice to complete the class, because the pieces are baked before and after glazing. There are lots of colors and effects to try when you glaze. Sara allows guests to bring food and drink for your lessons, which makes it a bit of a party, and you can fit in a class after work and eat dinner here. This was an experience that my family will never forget.

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!

I can't wait to come here again.
