Cool people doing very…read morecool things I actually found this place through the Historical Society of Boothbay Harbor. They were selling little patches that said Boothbay Harbor Historical Society for some cause or other but ran out of shirts. They told me to buy a shirt and bring the patch to this place to have them sew it on. It started to sound complicated but they said that the people at the Harbor Embroidery were really nice. So I ended up going there and they were extremely nice. They said come back in a hour and the work would be done. Well We came back and all the patches and shirts were united.. I'm not sure I'll ever have the opportunity to use their services again, but it was a pleasure dealing with them.

They go they extra mile to make sure the customization is just what you want, in designs, color choices, and even where to place the embroidery on the item. They are excellent for converting my ideas into reality and finding ways to create the graphics if necessary. The staff is super helpful. They are my go-to source for personalized apparel to give as gifts.

A decade ago (yes really) I bought a an original shaving scuttle from Julie, after she was…read morerecommended on Shaveblog and by the serious shaving enthusiasts at the authoritative Badger & Blade forums. This morning, after nearly ten years of solid, loyal work from my beloved little clay scuttle, I looked down at it as I lathered up and decided I needed to both show my gratitude for this fine work and to let others know what Dirty Bird can offer. If you are a wet shaver and you like to use creams and then whip them with a badger brush to a perfect consistency lather, you need the perfect scuttle to achieve the right size, surface, and thermal transfer properties. You need a piece that is crafted as thoughtfully as it is artfully. You need a piece as beautiful with the rest of your shaving kit as it is well-engineered to the purpose. You need a dirty bird scuttle. Because as the users at B&B well know, no other shop big or small has nailed it like Julie has. The walls are the right thickness and material to warm the cream and hold the temperature for the duration of your shave. The available color combinations are drawn from thoughtful palettes and are an attractive match for most bathroom decor. It has a nice heft and weight to it so the water doesn't knock it around when filling and it stays put when you dip into it. The handle is contoured so it's ergonomic and it doesn't get too hot. And of course the key feature - the contours and texture that lathers the bottom of the bowl - work exactly as designed (though they have since been updated to an even more effective waffle pattern since I bought my spiral model, both are good). In short, you won't find a more attractive or functional shaving scuttle for creams - anywhere, at any price. And it will last you a lifetime, they're durable and I've moved with mine a half dozen times without so much as a chip. And even with this, the price is quite reasonable, Julie makes and ships them out in a jiffy (beating promised times), and she's a joy to talk to, to boot. Nothing not to like here. I suspect the other pottery is also good. If you are looking for the perfect gift for your wetshaver, though, you're done.

Love those maple candies. We usually bring the little kids here to pick out a little toy or book. I love getting our Maine themed hats here for our friends from away. Maine flag hats are great many to pick from. The rope mats are great. I love picking up blank stationary from here as well. The prices aren't bad for a touristy area, especially when you can do a lot of your shopping for souvenirs in one place. The store is always stocked and neat. There were a few people working the store - most were behind the register. They were nice and focused on the customer. We always stop here with family and friends visiting Maine. Parking within walking distance. Easy to find right on Maine street.

I cannot say enough about this shop. After reading the negative google reviews, I was blown away…read more I have been a repeat customer in this store for over 20 years now and through a change of ownership. I have never once had anything but a positive experience. The current owner is always willing to help, responsive, reasonable and professional. Yes the hats are expensive but it is a high end hat store and the hats are made by craftsman from around the world. If you want a mass produced hat that everyone has then I suggest Macy's or Target. To miss a visit to this store due to the google reviews would be a shame for the fashion lover looking for a quality piece. I also do not understand people not calling the owner to voice their complaints or concerns before becoming a keyboard warrior and falsely accusing an establishment abs trying to harm someone's livelihood based on one experience.

Most summers find my husband and me traveling up the coast of Maine and landing for some of the time in Camden. The Leather Bench is a Camden shop we always visit. They sell a beautiful array of leather goods from wallets, purses, bags, hats, jackets, boots, gloves, change purses. If a product can be made out of leather, chances are The Leather Bench has it and it will be beautiful. The store is small and packed with their products all nicely arranged. My understanding is that it is a family-owned store. The staff is helpful and welcoming. We've purchased a number of items over the years. On our last visit my husband bought two cases for his glasses and a leather change pouch. When this pandemic is behind us, I look forward to our next trip to Maine and to The Leather Bench.
