The Good: *Lots of gift options to bring back for friends and family with tons of Maine inspired food items. *Acadia National Park swag *Friendly service *Store is clean and well laid-out The Meh: *Some of the items weren't priced, which is one of the bugaboos at stores like this. I know, I know... If you have to ask... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Speaking of pricing, it was actually not too bad ask things considered--but we're from Cali so just try and shock us. :) The Ugly: *Zero cell reception inside the building and surrounding area. Conclusion: Nice spot to pick up Acadia National Park and Maine themed gifts at reasonable prices.

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.
