Owner is dishonest. We sold them some stuff and agreed with the woman owner on giving us a gift…read morecertificate that we could use whenever we wanted and have a declining balance. We wanted this because we USED to like the shop and wanted to support them instead of taking the cash and spending it somewhere else. After using it a couple times my wife went in to use it and the man owner refused her, called her a liar, and got aggressive and nasty. He's a real jackass, abusive to customers, and doesn't deserve the business he inherited from Daddy. We will never go back in there after the way he treated my wife. Bottom line is he cheated us out of money. DISHONEST.

I've been going to Elmer's since I was three (or younger; these are my earliest memories of it),…read moreand remember playing on the swingset made of...I'm not sure if it was old phone poles, or butcher block, or logs, but something big and clunky; there was a cow or some odd animal for a swing with a barrel for a body...A wooden statue of Elmer in a t-shirt. My dad used to renovate run-down stuff he'd salvaged from the Alna Dump (dump picking was legal; this was the early 70s) and sell or trade to Elmer. Hours would go by. So much amazing and rusty junk, and random things like thousands of wooden eggs and bags of antique long white gloves and lace tablecloths sold by the pound. Anyway, it's an antique mall, now, but there is still the old vibe there, chickens wandering around, rusty sawblades, and if you go out in the back rooms which maybe you aren't supposed to...The smell of wet cement and the old creepy tools hanging up *chef's kiss* Oh, and you'll leave with something reasonably priced. Last trip's treasures were that Yes album with the six part fold-out-art ($8) and a kinda cheesy old painting with ornate frame ($13); I'll toss the painting and upcycle the frame. Pretty sure some ghosts "live" there...bring a camera and take some spooky pictures to see spirit orbs! Can't recommend an Elmer's afternoon highly enough, particularly on a cold, rainy day.

This is the cutest antique shop located in a great location (look for the red telephone booth)! It…read moreis filled with gifts and decorations for people of all ages (bobbin-spool jump ropes, marbles, candles, posters, and lamps - just to name a few). What started out with mostly bobbin-inspired decorations, Milling Around now sponsors many local artists selling their items. I am always so excited to go into the store to see what new items they are carrying. The shop has beautiful views of the Damariscotta River and is a quick walk to the rest of downtown. The owners are very friendly and are very knowledgeable about the items they carry, local artists they help support and the Boothbay-Damariscotta area in general. Ask them anything! If you get hungry, Que Rico is right outside too!

As for me, I just shop on the adult side. It is hit or miss as with any thrift store; some days I won't find anything but other days I have found a fantastic cute shirt, brand new shoes, and an adorable vase, all very inexpensive. It is so satisfying to save money and up-cycle! Also their consignment process is easy. You can get store credit or cash once your items sell.

This will be a place that we will return to, the next time we travel through the area.

Against my better judgement, I enjoyed you, Trifles. Leaning more to the camp side of collectible antiquities, Trifles stretches the inventory to reflect a mad scientist's summer home on Sesame Street, decorated in the '50s, kiddified in the '60s and, oh by the way, the whole family loves Jon Waters and Elvis LPs while sunning on the Cape and doing kinetic puzzles. Confused? It's a matter of personal taste. She got a loose-at-the-seams children's books called The House That Jack Built, and I got a number of stunning visuals, and a walk down TV Blvd, off Memory Lane. Not bad for a quick (and jovial) pop in to an outskirt shop on Front Street.
