Proprietor David Johnston recently replaced the rush seats in our four ladderback chairs and we…read morecould not be more pleased with the results. David is truly a craftsman. And the job was finished in a timely fashion, just as promised. We had considered replacing the chairs, but for less than half that expense we were able to keep the chairs we've enjoyed for almost fifty years. We highly recommend doing business with The Craft Shop in Windham, ME.

What a fun little discovery on my way into town. I have passed this place a zillion times and had…read moresaid I would stop eventually. Well, stop I did, to see if they had a gift for a friend's birthday. First, I love any store that smells like balsam as you walk through the door. The scent makes me feel like a kid again. I'm not from Maine (have been here long enough to feel at home), but as a kid we used to drive here from Ohio and spend a few weeks going up and down the coast. The smell of balsam reminds me of these trips. Second, I was shocked by the variety they had. Maple syrup, Maine souvenirs, crafting supplies, wooden figurines, and antiques. The have a sign stating that they "glue chairs". I didn't know that was a thing, but apparently, it is... They also sell wreaths and Christmas trees during the appropriate season. And finally, the owners were as nice as could be. They had out hot chocolate for the kids, and they wrapped my little gift up neatly. This little shop is well worth the drive into town because of how darn cute it is!

Imagine calling a florist, leaving a voicemail, then placing the order online. You get the receipt…read more You get the confirmation emails. The owner even calls you back the next day and personally confirms the order for delivery five days later. It's for your mother. Across the country. For a special occasion. And then... nothing happens. No delivery. No call. No email. Nothing. The next day, I had to call and ask whether the flowers had even been delivered, because my mom never texted me to thank me for them. That's when it hit me: she spent the entire day thinking I had forgotten her. Not because I forgot. Because this florist was completely disorganized. What made it even worse was the response when I called. There was no accountability. No urgency. Not even a genuine apology. If you are ordering flowers for someone important, especially from a distance, understand that this shop may fail completely at the one thing you are paying them to do: deliver your message that someone is loved and remembered.

Have been going here for years. They have a great selection of plants. Most recently I requested a…read morespecific plant and asked if they could get it. It is a bit unusual, and wanted a larger size one, so I wasn't sure if they would be able to get what I wanted. Just 2 weeks later they called and said it was in and ready for pick up. The plants are exactly what I wanted. A few things to note: 1. They don't take plant orders, but they do take requests. I think this is because there is no guarantee they can get it. 2. You have to pay over the phone if you want them to hold on to for you. I couldn't pick it up for about 5 days so I paid over the phone and they held on to it for me. 3. They are a bit pricey, in general, their prices are a bit higher than other nurseries, but the quality is also very high. I'll definitely keep going here for my specialty plant needs.

It's a cute, quaint little shop that you may want to check out if you are ever in the area. One thing that is true is what a previous reviewer said, the store is rather dark and it is difficult to see inside of. That and the amount of people coming into a small store made me have to go thru this place rather quickly. Its essentially to full of stuff. I wish I had more time to really check this place out with time, but I cannot stand enclosed spaces with too many people in it.
