This shop has the BEST lip balms, perfume oils, and soaps I've ever used! I haven't tried the bath…read moresoaks or lotions yet, but since their other products have surpassed my expectations for quality and value, I'll be using the entire line as soon as they're restocked. I've been troubled for years with dry, burning lips- even during the summer! I've tried every brand out there- organic, handmade, etc. Only Long Winter Soap lip balm has ameliorated this problem for me. I'm THRILLED! The flavors are delish! The perfume oils have been very exciting for me as well because I'm not able to use commercial perfumes without developing headaches. I had resigned myself to not wearing any perfumes or body sprays. I'm very impressed with the fact that Long Winter Soap Company doesn't use any alcohol in their perfume oils! I was afraid to give them a chance, but for $10, WHY NOT TRY???? I'm so glad I did. I'm OBSESSED with the blends and how long they last. Unbelievable! The two bars of soap I've used were exceptional as well. I cut each bar in half and keep it in an open soap box. I just make sure it's not sitting in water, and the entire bar lasted 6 weeks. The scents are great, and my skin is clean, not gummy, or stripped. I love it. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the professional, efficient, and top-notch customer service. Not only does the owner answer emails quickly, she got my *multiple* holiday orders out before Christmas, she did it despite Maine weather obstacles. Another awesome feature for online shoppers: the website shows EXACTLY how many items remain in inventory so you can shop intelligently. Also, if a product you want is out of stock, they have an automatic notification service so you will know immediately when its back in stock! I can't say enough about this wonderful business!!!!

Oh my goodness what a wonderful time we had here! A local business mentioned the Alpaca tours as…read moresomething fun to do with our grandson while we were in town, and I'm so glad she did. I began knitting two years ago and love alpaca yarn, and the thought of being able to meet the alpaca that I am knitting from just seemed so cute. Mike was super friendly and very informative. There were 8 total people in our group (our 5 plus a family of 3) and he was engaging with everyone. Our 5 year old grandson started out a bit unsure but Mike was very encouraging and our grandson was able to really open up. What a great experience for kids. The shop is filled with yarn from the alpacas, and they make sure that you have the name of the alpaca as well in case you need more at a later date. I mentioned we would be back later in the year and would love to take the rug making class and they let us know we can schedule that through them for a date that works for us, so if you don't see an experience listed for your dates, call them or send them an email because they will work with you!

They specialize in knives and offer a good selection including the Henckels professional series and Global whose modern and sleek design have both beauty and great quality. You can find lots of pots and pans here along with my favorite Le Creuset; a brand that keeps coming up with more and more great colors. Now I want turquoise! The owners are very friendly and were most helpful even with our meager purchase that day of just two wine bottle stoppers. One of the best things about visiting this store is the owners' two black labs who "help out" by lying about up front or off to the side of the entrance on their dog beds (L.L. Bean dog beds of course). And lucky us, the day we were there, the owners' son's dog, a black Lab mix, was also there making for a 3-dog day! If you love dogs and great kitchenware, this is your store. Sending a special snout smooch to Cyrus.
