Imagine this place was built just a few years after our country first began in 1776. It was formerly a General Store, School & Post Office. It was purchased & moved to this location by Henry Ford. Yes that Henry Ford of the Ford Motor Company. The foundation of the building was made from huge boulders dug up from the grounds, & the basement is supported by pillars made out of huge tree trunks. There is a secret located in the cellar. The stairs are hand carved from logs & the steps are joined together with wooden pegs. Mr. Ford had a way to detect burglars that predated burger alarms. What Henry did was to loosen the pegs in every third stair so they creaked. When someone stepped on them that would signal that a burglar was climbing the stairs.

The true gem of this boutique, however, is Kristin--she is an absolute miracle worker! Not only does she curate a stunning selection of pieces, but she also has a natural talent for styling. I've never felt more confident shopping for outfits, because she listens to what you're looking for and effortlessly pulls together looks that suit your personality, body type, and lifestyle. Whether you need a full wardrobe refresh, a special occasion outfit, or just something unique to elevate your day-to-day style, she's got you covered. Shopping here feels like having your own personal stylist and fashion mentor. She takes all the stress out of the process and leaves you feeling empowered and excited about what you're wearing. I walked out with outfits I never would've put together on my own, and I've received compliments every single time I wear them!

I wouldn't call it a destination like some of the top pancakeries in New Hampshire and Maine. But for a muffin, breakfast sandwich, or toast, a solid rendition if you're passing through the area. Arguably better than similar places nearby. -- Blueberry Muffin: Still warm at 7am opening. Sure it was early, but plenty of places (NY Bagel Factory for one) serve chilled ones baked the day before. The dome is similar to the Jordan Marsh version with lots of sugar crystal on top. And they also offer one with no sugar at all on top. Neither is life changing but both are good. They also do the same with raspberry, which looks good. -- Avocado Toast: Thin of slice but thick of creamy spread, with cherry tomato halves and a good drizzle of balsamic vinegar to give it a bit of a bruschetta touch. -- Egg sandwich: Fried egg with choice of vessel (I went English muffin), choice of protein (I went sausage patty), and choice of cheese (I went cheddar). Solid job, with fried egg crispy at the edges and runny inside. The space is comfy even though you're basically immersed inside a gift shop. Self service on coffee, utensils, and napkins. The ladies behind the counter are mostly helpful, but there's one who's consistently cantankerous. More of a 3.5 rounded up to a 4 out of necessity than a 5-threatening 4, but I stand by my 4.
