Extravagant candy stores. 4. Bizarre flea markets/yard sales. 5. Stores that specialize in prison inmate made products. I do not get to satisfy #5 very often, but I did at Woods to Goods. Not only is this stuff prison made, it's beautiful. Exquisite cutting boards (which I find so ironic), and wooden bowls that belong in West Elm, and that's just a taste! They also carry Prison Blues, jeans made by inmates in Oregon. The guys that were working there were very knowledgeable and friendly and allowed me plenty of time to browse. I bought a birdhouse that looks like the old Maine State Prison ($15) and a few wooden switch-plate covers ($4). Oh, and a macrame bracelet (made by guards - the inmates taught them how). Definitely drive out of your way to visit! When I am in Maine, I will be back!

Also featured are 'PRISON Blues' - A line of clothing stitched at the Eastern OREGON Correctional Facility in Pendleton, Oregon. Their theme is "Made on the Inside - To be worn on the Outside". 14.75 oz. cotton denim is used for the blue jeans (mens only, and reportedly are the only jeans made in the USA today...). T-shirts are designed and screen printed by the inmates there in sizes S thru 3X. We also carry items made by former inmates from Maine and New Hampshire. Check out our site@ Woods to Goods.com

Unlike other antique stores, this one does not have any musty/dusty odor. It's very clean, well organized, and while the selection is large, it's not "cluttered". You can find everything from small collectable figurines, to china and crystal stemware, to large furniture. Everything for sale was in great quality. The woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions - certainly one of the nicest employees I've ever met at an antique store. After browsing the isles, I found a set of green thumbprint goblets, wine glasses and sherbets - all 36 in perfect condition. After a quick call to the dealer, I was offered an even lower price and each glass was wrapped up for safe travel. Before heading there, double check the hours of operation because we were told it was the last day of the season for their store (November 12th). I can't wait to stop back on our next trip to Southern Maine to see what other great finds there are!

I Can't begin to describe how impressed with Jackson Fireplace…read more We had another company come in to give us an estimate to repair a 35 year old Heat and Glow fireplace. They're answer was that it was to old, can't get parts, unrepairable. Cost of replacement, Including new fireplace, ripping out the old one, removing existing mantle, yadda yadda yadda, about $15,000. Dave, from Jackson shows up, takes a look, and "Sure, we can fix this, no problem. 2 weeks later, Dave is back with the "unavailable" part, and 2 hours later he's done. Fireplace work great, it was like he was never here, except that the fireplace worked. He also fixed a problem with the external vent being to close to the clapboard siding. "Who Knew?' Dave did. When you call Jackson, insist on Dave. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and an attention to detail that impressed even me, and I can be a little OCD.

They have a lot of style - everything is displayed beautifully, and Alison knows her stuff and was able to answer all of our questions. Not only is she knowledgeable, she is also a great person, very easy to talk to and I was not intimidated to ask all kinds of questions . We landed on the Kozy Heat Oakport gas stove which is modern and efficient and warms us right up. Installation was a breeze because JFP handled everything, including a new chimney through the roof. Ken and the guys were just terrific during their visits. You would be crazy to go anywhere else! Thanks Alison and Ken!
