This is an AMAZING shop. There is so much here - every time I go in, I find different and more…read morethings! Someone rated it as pricey, but there's actually a huge variety of items here at many prices - many that are less expensive than you'll find elsewhere (seriously, $20 for a handmade wreath?!), and many items that are under $10. Everything is locally made, which i awesome for supporting local artisans, the community, and events. And Tricia - what a SUPER AWESOME person. If there's anything you need, she'll know how to get it. She gets things done. Even when it's something that isn't in the store (like knowing somehow EXACTLY what we needed for dinner and where to get it, she told us what we wanted, and when we agreed or made revisions, she called and told them what to give us). Plus, she's wicked funny. I feel like she's my own personal soul mate, but I think I'm probably not the only one who feels like she's a kindred spirit! Aside from this shop being wicked cool on an everyday basis, they went above and beyond to support the local event, the Millinocket Marathon & Half. They had medals locally made. Made tee shirts for the event. Had artisans make painted on slate ornaments commemorating it. Stood in the road to cheer runners in (and ran some in), stopped traffic so runners could proceed. They hosted packet pickup, were open crazy early to crazy late. Acted as designated drivers for the dance party Saturday night. But getting back to Moose Drop In - they were well over their usual for a given day... wall to wall people buying, needing, asking questions, wanting tee shirts made, asking directions, you name it. They never missed a step. Made everyone happy. Can't wait to come back!

I was told of some classes and wanted more information but they were to busy talking to ask. Another customer was standing there and she spoke to me of this place and stated that the courses were very pricey and they do not supply anything for the high price. She stated she did a knit class and was only taught the basics in which she already knew.

My sister found some beautiful carnival glass, and we even had our pick of regional jams. On Friday 11/30/07 they are planning a thank-you party for their customers with music and snacks. Stop in for a fun evening. Wish I could be there, it sounded like fun. Next time you are in downtown Bangor, say hello to Richard and Rebecca Vigue, the owners of Rebecca's and very nice folks.

But Rebecca and her husband welcomed us and said to take our time. What a find! Absolutely loved this shop. My husband stayed engaged in conversation so I was able to browse around this sweet little shop with very unique items...some from local artists and items with a Maine flare. I found exactly what I was looking for and then some! Rebecca and her husband were so super nice and we talked and laughed for almost a half an hour. We will surely be back on our next visit to Bangor,ME. Thanks so much! Dan and Nancy Loubier

However, I decided to drive by one last time at noon today on my way back to Boston and THERE WAS A HINT OF LIGHT. I parked, I ran-walked-skipped, and I barged right through those doors thinking to run into either Loren or Shawn. But nay, I was instead greeted by a sweet elderly lady with bright eyes surprised by the sudden intrusion of some random excited Asian dude. "Oh sorry, I'm not really open yet. I hope you don't mind the mess." "ME DON'T CARE." Sasquatch-wannabe-tourist gleefully responds. I came to find out shortly that it was Loren's mom, Grace, and she was definitely a delightful way to end my trip this year. You see, I came to really like this shop last year when I got to extensively talk to both Loren and Shawn during several visits to the shop because they were so fun to banter with. Not only did I receive local tips to the area, I came to really appreciate what they have done here over time through their little business. Their gift bags are printed with Loren's photography and Shawn's paintings! Truly beautiful and different from the other stores in the area. Definitely my favorite gift shop that I've visited so far and will continue to stop by and say hi whenever I'm in the area. Absolutely recommend!
