This beautiful business was well kept and well decorated as well as CLEAN. Everything was organized easily enough to get through the store. I really enjoyed everything and saw so much that I am planning to make another trip to make sure I don't miss anything. If you are a book lover and appreciate the little things this is definitely a great place to come to.

I would never have found this shop if it wasn't for the reviews here. It's located off the main…read moredrag so you might miss it if you aren't looking. This is run by a couple, who according to the owner Patrick (who was manning the store when we were there) they aren't artists themselves, but they seek out artists from all over. There is a wide selection of art from sun catchers made of wrapped colored stones, and paintings on wood to vegan leather purses and wood turned pens. We stopped here and purchased a painting my partner wanted and then returned to pick up my purse before returning to the shuttle bus. I just couldn't leave without buying it. I'm sure if we had more time, we would have spent more. Bar Harbor has lots of tourist stuff. If you are looking for that special item to take home, check this place out.

The store features unique decor, jewelry, accessories and home items. I spent the most time looking at colorful local artwork, sniffing a variety of perfumes and eyeing up some lovely leather goods. While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.

Imagine kids toys, bird houses, small decorative art, candleholders, and more. There's a rustic and Scandinavian feel about the space. It's a great place to pick up toys or gifts if you want something that's thoughtfully created. The owner protects woodlands by using wood that would otherwise be wasted. We loved our quick little visit to the shop. They also have a large rocking horse that is fun for kids to experience. If I had more room in my luggage, I would've taken home one of those adorable little bird houses.

Nervous Nellie's is a truly wondrous place! I grew up on Deer Isle, more specifically on…read moreSunshine, and drove by this spot every single day. My conception of what was happening at Nervous Nellie's came from the jellies and jams sold in local stores and from the view of the backs of the buildings in the middle of Hardscrabble Hill. Visiting Deer Isle with friends, we finally stopped yesterday for the very first time. I have to say, what Peter Beerits has (and is) created (creating) at Nervous Nellie's Jams and Jellies is nothing short of a wonder! Of course there's the food. The jellies, jams, preserves, and chutneys are simply delicious. There is a small cafe and store where you can sample, buy, and sit and enjoy the tasty treats created on site. But the jellies aren't what visiting Nervous Nellies is all about. It's the brilliance, creativity, and passion in the art of Peter Beerits that will really fill your heart and mind and go with you after you leave. There is a tiny world with buildings and sculptures that beckon you in and beg you to participate in the imaginative elements born of a tremendous artist at work. I LOVED seeing and experiencing it all, but particularly loved the old west inspired buildings. There are several key places to visit. Each building you visit is filled with interesting wood-cut inhabitants, antiques furniture, music, and so much more.
