Un poco de caos, pero puedes encontrar tesoros.

This is our favorite antique shop in town! We come every year, and fall in love again every time. We noticed this summer (2024) that someone had organized the whole top floor and some other areas of the store, and it was wonderful!!
They always have a pretty awesome collection of miniature odds and ends, as well as some of the neatest vintage pop culture memorabilia. If the really really really weird stuff is more your thing, they have plenty of those too.

I love to antique and Maine is the perfect spot to do it! Maine has a ton of history so I’m hoping to find some unique items.

✅ I liked that there was a wide variety of antiques here. I found several things I wanted but chose not to buy due to price.

❌ Everything was overpriced. In my opinion you can find better deals on eBay that’s with shipping. After looking at the price tags of a few items it was clear to me.

❌ Worker didn’t acknowledge us at all. I’ve seen this in a few reviews but I almost felt unwelcome.

❌ The smell of the basement area is unbearable. I’m not sure if it’s mold or what but I had enough.

❌ some of the booths were not antiques and filled with junk

Can’t say it’s worth the stop unless you are ok with spending absolute top dollar on the items you want, if you can find anything you like.

Three floors of antiques, which includes furniture, cast iron pieces, dishes, plus much more! Definitely coming back as soon as possible. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Attaching some photos with this review, but I purposely did not take photos of the items I am returning for (and in hopes they will still be there).

We packed up for a rd trip on a cold Sunday specifically to go here, it is filthy, clearly has not seen a vacuum, broom or mop in years and the smell of stale cigarettes in back on the first floor made us leave early, many books were so crammed full you could not get into them and most was like a hoarder nightmare. I wanted to take shower as soon as we walked out. Don’t waste your time.

Cute. Scary hanging dead people mannequins and not very friendly though. Thought it would be cuter 😊🫶🏼 Nice if your traveling in the area!

Went for the first time today. Wish I had read the reviews and then I wouldn’t have bothered to go ! Every negative thing they said is true. The woman behind the counter doesn’t have an ounce of personality ! She doesn’t acknowledge you when you come in or walk right by her. They should get rid of her as she is bad for business. She should be greeting her customers with open arms. Most of the stuff should be at the local landfill. The prices are ludicrous ! The vendors are not serious about selling. Nobody is going to pay those ridiculous prices ! They should cut their losses and leave. With the woman with no personality running the place people will never go back. As a Mainer I have been to Antique stores and flea markets all over the state. This is the worse when I have ever been to. Good will has better stuff and more reasonable prices. Bottom line don’t waste your time ! If I could have given no stars I would have.

Typically, I love antique stores and I love going through an insurmountable amount of antique things. However, this shop felt overwhelming and had a crazy layout. Also, the stairs down to the basement look like they haven’t been touched with a broom in 2 years. It felt like there was likely good inventory, but I couldn’t get past the dingy and dark vibes there.
