Why do they keep all the tacky stuff out front and center? This store constantly disappoints me,…read moreeverything on display is often either poorly made or disgustingly cutesy/shabby. It seems they keep all the decent stuff tucked away and hidden in the back. I managed to buy a good set of dining room chairs, although they were a bit overpriced. That took a while. I can already tell the kind of people they want to attract to this store. People who have poor taste and just want non quality, whimsical, cornball items in their house.

I follow this story on Instagram and I am addicted, pretty much every piece they post. The location is in cute Dover and the store is pretty large so I encourage you to go and look on every level, in every nook. I have gotten a few items from here and have never been disappointed. If you see something online they have and cannot get there immediately, just reach out to them and, if not already taken, they will hold one day for you to get there to see if it is what you want to purchase. I also have to say the prices are very reasonable. And, sometimes they do these 20% events - when they do, I try to go up even if I don't think I want or need anything. It is just a fun place to visit and imagine how something would fit into your space.

Extravagant candy stores. 4. Bizarre flea markets/yard sales. 5. Stores that specialize in prison inmate made products. I do not get to satisfy #5 very often, but I did at Woods to Goods. Not only is this stuff prison made, it's beautiful. Exquisite cutting boards (which I find so ironic), and wooden bowls that belong in West Elm, and that's just a taste! They also carry Prison Blues, jeans made by inmates in Oregon. The guys that were working there were very knowledgeable and friendly and allowed me plenty of time to browse. I bought a birdhouse that looks like the old Maine State Prison ($15) and a few wooden switch-plate covers ($4). Oh, and a macrame bracelet (made by guards - the inmates taught them how). Definitely drive out of your way to visit! When I am in Maine, I will be back!

Also featured are 'PRISON Blues' - A line of clothing stitched at the Eastern OREGON Correctional Facility in Pendleton, Oregon. Their theme is "Made on the Inside - To be worn on the Outside". 14.75 oz. cotton denim is used for the blue jeans (mens only, and reportedly are the only jeans made in the USA today...). T-shirts are designed and screen printed by the inmates there in sizes S thru 3X. We also carry items made by former inmates from Maine and New Hampshire. Check out our site@ Woods to Goods.com

What caught my eye was the more "dressy" items that you normally don't see in a resort town shop mixed in with the more casual and "beach" clothing.

Still an aesthetically pleasing place to browse, and they have a select quantity of beautiful clothing, shoes, and accessories. So many lovely, quality items! This year I bought two ample-sized shawl/wrap/scarves (Daisy big wrap) for when it eventually gets cold (it was in the 80s the day I bought them, but I know winter is a-comin'). They are incredibly soft, and come in the most gorgeous colors (I bought one in a deep plum color, and another in a rich teal. I hate winter, but I will be prepared to keep warm in style. The wraps were just $24, and I already know I'll be getting many compliments when I wear these. I also bought a light, airy poncho that can be worn several ways. I bought one here last year--in indigo--and I wear it over solid-colored basics. I never fail to get compliments on it (and it adds just the right amount of light warmth and coverage, as well as a pop of color--sorry, I normally stay away from using overplayed terms like that, but it fits). It's the Van Klee poncho, just $22, and I got one in fuschia. I fell in lust with some of their fabulous jewelry but had to get back to my laundry. I think I'll be back before heading home on the weekend. As noted in my previous review, the ladies working in the shop were friendly and helpful, but not right on top of me as I shopped (thank you, thank you). This is my favorite shop in York.
