One of my favorite places to visit in all of Maine!!!!!…read more If you are anywhere near Belfast, ME or looking to get off Route 1 and see a bit of the countryside; This is a great place to stop and recharge! The woman who runs the store is Diana and she is amazing. She has the most unique items in her store from all over Maine and beyond. Lots of antiques and neat stuff for almost any room in your house. Make sure to inquire about the letter press she owns. She showed me pictures of the Gutenberg letter press she uses to make the beautiful cards and prints. Her skill is unmatched and eye for detail is unmatched OH... she bakes all kinds of yummy treats. My personal favorite is the ginger cookies..and the bread. She makes the best tasting organic items you'll ever find. If you are having a party she also says she does some catering events. She also has rail bikes for rent! You'll get to pedal bikes that run along the rail road tracks and it's a blast..and a work out. Kip is a great guy who works there and loves to chat and will help ya with the bikes. It is such a great way to see Maine. She said she has a facebook page but She's working on a webpage. I live in Colorado and visiting Maine is wonderful. I love getting off route 1 and seeing the country side in the summer. 25 Gordon Hill Road Thorndike, ME 04986-3227 (207) 568-3523

The woman running this place has wonderful taste, a light hand with the pricing, and a talent for letterpress printing: she makes all kind of clever cards, including page-markers for cookbooks (now why didn't I think of that?) She sells some locally-made food products, but mostly she sells things I would buy if I had an inch of extra room: a heavy, elegant hand-crocheted tablecloth with deep fringe ($18.00), handsome pitchers from local potters (ok, I bought the one with the rabbits) and funny old toys and gadgets. I also passed up a child's quilt embroidered with nursery rhyme characters. if you need it, it's still there. This is AFTER you've visited Bryant's Stove Museum and BEFORE you've eaten at the CrossTrax Cafe in nearby Unity. You've got yourself the agenda for a marvelous day.

As you would guess that scent would be lavender and their sign saying Lavender is all my wife had to see and knew we'd be going in. That scent meets your nose upon your first step inside. They had a great variety of skin care products, some clothing, candles and even some bundles of lavender. Basically everything you could imagine coming in lavender scent you will find here. Prices seemed reasonable considering it's a heavily trafficked tourist area. We didn't buy anything but as leaving the owner thanked us for coming in, so friendly and welcoming. If you are a fan of lavender it's a no brainer, you must visit.

Anything from 3-D printed things, homemade fudge, jewelry, other fun Maine items. I never buy fudge anywhere because it's never lived up to my expectations. However, I absolutely love this fudge and I got two big chunks. My grandma set a really high bar on fudge quality and I have yet to taste something as good as hers until now. This absolutely meets the same delicious taste that I have been missing for 20 years. But more fun flavors than she made. This took me into a happy memory and gave new ones.

I came in from out of town and purchased some things for my kids and also a sweatshirt for me ($46). I bought it on Saturday and put it on the first time on Monday. There's a hole in the arm and the red lettering on the front is fading and transferred onto my blanket when I was laying down. This thing is so cheap and already falling apart. I'm terrified of washing it. Can't get a refund since I can't get ahold of anyone and don't live in this State.
