Walking through this store feels like passing through a small portal into a never ending, winding…read moreseries of rooms, all with different themes, selling different things. There are rooms of games, Maine items, body products and jewelry, and kitchen wares and jams. There are Christmas themed rooms, kids games, candles and glassware. You name it, they have it. The kinds of things offered are probably selected through the eye of the buyer, and, to be fair, there was a wide range of options. After walking through, and looking at a whole lot, I was still unable to find a gift that caught my eye. I see that as more my problem than theirs.

There are silk flowers and gifts and bobbles galore from tacky to elegant. It is a bit claustrophobic but it's set up so you go in one way and out the other. My friend and I just took our time and tried to take it all in, impossible . Ohh yes there is also penny candy and fudge ,though I only gave that a glance, honest. We didn't even get to the antique barn next door which was a shame because it looked really interesting also. As for the customer service, the woman that was there with us was lovely. I think she was the owner and she was engaging and very helpful. I definitely will be going back and I will be taking pictures.

If you are a local or visiting and you only make time for one souvenir/gift shop make it this one…read more Everything they have are made by locals which is great place to support local makers/artists. They have a ton of variety including smaller less expensive items to larger paintings that may cost more. Staff have always been extremely friendly and will greet you with a smile and answer any questions you have. It will always be the store that helped me find one of my favorite local artists Flyn who have since opened their own retail space. Truly the perfect spot to grab yourself or family that item that will remind you of your time in Maine. You will find at least one item you want to purchase if not more. Also you can proudly say that you helped support a local artist/maker. 100% worth your time visiting! As a local I make a point to revisit this place frequently.

Prices are comparable to other gift shops nearby. They have multiple registers to keep the checkout line moving. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The homemade blueberry muffin was packed with blueberries and a really flavorful. The store has a great selection of locally crafted gifts, food items, and tinctures.

I had to not only count cats (jokingly of course) to ensure they weren't trying to take one but I also had to count kids since at least two wanted to start working here. There were 22 cats on the day we visited. There were no snacks available - which are advertised to be included with the picnic - but we were okay with the sandwiches we brought from home. The space is clean and cozy. It seemed like there were cats in every crack and crevice. The cats seem relaxed and happy. It's been less than a week and already three of them are asking when they can go again.

Their magnet collection was gigantic, never seen any store to have such huge variety of magnet items.

I also bought a decorative steel sign and few stickers. I compared their prices to other nearby stores, and it was on par or cheaper.

It is by far the priciest store in the strip mall heaven that is North Windham. They carry all kinds of cute kitchen wares, spices, and other decorative home decor. This place reeks of "going up to our cute Maine summer camp" from some out of state location. I don't know many locals who would find this place enticing because of the high price point, but it was fun to browse. I won't be frequenting this place. I can't afford to. But if my rich friends from out of town want to see the "shop in Windham" that's not a chain store, this will be where I take them. It might also be a great place to find a last minute gift...

We left with a new electric kettle, a splatter guard, a new knife, a pie crust collar (because you know it sucks when your pie crust gets too brown and the foil always falls off) and a few more things.
