We once again started off at the lobby of the Grand Hotel which featured several paintings by Nataya DeSena. We then went up the hill to Shows where enjoyed the work of David Whitlock. The Gallery offers the works of many artists and currently offers an exhibition of those by William B. Hoyt and, as always, the wind sculptures by Lyman Whitaker.

Mom and I were randomly driving through Maine finding little shops and even an outdoor flea market and The Hidden Cafe. Driving down the road with my peppermint mocha in hand, we first drove past Eileen's. Thankfully, we both decided that we needed to turn around. We always stop for the weird. The skeletons and other lawn decorations definitely got our attention. Upon entering the store we were greeted by a nautical and Christmas themed room, followed by a vintage room filled with knickknacks from the floor to the ceiling. Another small room was a combination of genres and the front room was a mix of more fun & holiday items. When I learned that the young lady that we had been gabbing with was Eileen, the owner, neither my mom or I could believe it. A former teacher turned antique store owner, a woman who followed her heart. I wish her the very best and hope that if you're in the Arundel area that you will pay her a visit.

When my fiance and I walked up to the door, Karleen had signs to make sure that anyone entering was wearing a mask and was up to date with all COVID-19 precautions. She had a doorbell that we rang, in order to enter. She said that she has an autoimmune disease so she needs to be careful, and I respect the heck out of being careful - especially during this time. Let's talk about the store: It was filled with so many goodies! Karleen and her children made the majority of the items being sold in the store. They are all thoughtfully made and of great quality! I bought two bracelets for some friends for Christmas. I even bought a Darth Vadar keychain for a different friend, and Karleen told me that she had made a matching mask to go with it! How awesome!! She explained that her sons are on the Autism spectrum and how some of the items they sold were to help others who are also autistic. She said she helps families who have autistic children by sharing her experiences, trials, and tribulations. Her sons also work in the store when they aren't attending school via zoom, which helps them learn skills that can take them into adulthood. I think that Karleen is brilliant and between the combination of the goods they make and sell, how she helps others, and how wonderful she was to talk to made for the best experience ever! Thank you Karleen!!

I was visiting my parents who live in New Hampshire and getting some food in Maine so of course we had to make some pit stops. This antique center is pretty massive and features three big rooms full of stuff. Sadly, we were in a bit of a hurry but I was still able to speed run through all of the aisles and see everything. Vintage clothing, glass ware, books, war memorabilia, vintage toys, sports cards, and literally everything else. I was a huge fan of the glass cases and was stoked to check everything out. I almost left with an in box Pee Wee Herman doll but since I live in LA, I didn't feel like dealing with the shipping on it. Overall, Antiques USA is a fantastic antique shop and 100% somewhere you need to check out in the area. I had a blast checking out all the rooms and the next time I find myself in Maine, I'm for sure doing an antique tour and hitting this place up again.

Also had the largest variety of offerings and prices appeared to be decent. If you browse the entire shop everyone could find something that would interest them. My wife and I were in more of a browsing mindset and did not buy anything this visit. The photos I posted only shows a small selection of what was available. Some of the sellers had their Etsy stores mentioned as well if you enjoyed their offerings but wanted something slightly different they may offer. Also the staff when we walked in greeted us which was not the case for all the spots we visited. That added touch makes you feel more welcome. If you really went slow you could spend a long while looking at everything they have to offer here. If you are going down or up route 1 especially antique shopping this is a must visit.
