“I love shopping at Where Memories are Made. Lynn has created a beautiful space that is welcoming and a treat to the eyes! She offers a great selection of home decor and gifts and I never leave empty handed. ❤️”
“Wow what a great collection of gems and fossils! This shop was very cool and had lots of wonderful gifts from rocks to gems to jewelry, fossils, and more.
Jeff the owner was super nice and seemed very passionate about his business.
Prices were reasonable and found some very unique stones I haven't seen before. The fossils and butterflies were awesome to see as well
Will be back again to grab more!”
“Update: I'm so glad I bought my binoculars locally, from the Audubon Shop. I recently had an issue with my binoculars so I brought them back to the store. They were shipped back to the company and today I picked up a brand new pair. One of my better decisions. I highly recommend this store because they handled the entire return for me.
Knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. I even recommended this store to my sister in NC and she ordered after speaking with someone on the phone who sent her the link to my exact binoculars. She agrees he was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. We are novice birders and he recommended the right pair of binoculars for us that are light weight, crystal clear, waterproof and warrantied for life, in our price range. We're all very pleased with our purchases and my husband & I will be back for a scope next.”
“I absolutely love this store! Wayfinder Society is one of those rare places that instantly feels special the moment you step inside. The owners curate the most incredible art and treasures and every corner of the store feels like a tiny adventure.
What makes it even more magical is the owners! Shelby and Chris are genuinely the loveliest people, and you can feel how much heart, intention, and love they pour into this small, hand-curated business. That warmth you experiece when popping in for a visit stays with you long after you leave.
My personal favourite pieces are the tiny “Whispers” Shelby makes herself, they are joyful, whimsical, and full of personality. Such a delight.
If you’re visiting Chester, you have to pop into Wayfinder Society and experience the joy, curiosity, and soul of this beautiful store. It’s a gem!”
“Associates are so very pleasant.
Gift items, displayed so nicely. Selection of gifts - just loved them. The Place was spotless! I am ftom out of town, but I will be back! Lori assisted me - very nice & knew the gifts!”
“From the street, the shop seems too small to have much, BUT when you go in you'll see that the owner Kim has a real skill at curating unique treasures, one of a kind gifts, local balms, soaps, and oils, as well as jewelry at really good prices. Everything is displayed beautifully, and they have fun workshops to focus on improving your health and wellbeing. I've had the privilege of teaching in this facility too -- the workshop space is inviting, intimate with natural light. The vibe of the place is all about positivity around your mental wellness and everyone is welcome. Plus Chester is so cool!”
“Cottage flair has always stood out to me because of the meaningful, handmade quality and style of the clothes and gifts. I always Find something nostalgic, heartfelt and just filled with magic. Here’s my favorite necklace from them.”

“Very nice shop tucked on Main Street.The sho you will find something for everyone. The owner takes care and pride in her shop Well worth the effort to get there”
“I love this store because the owner is the artist and maker of most of the jewelry. Beautiful pieces inspired by nature. You can feel she is making her jewelry from the heart. She also carries items created by others but with her eye they must meet her high standards and everything flows together beautifully.
I just love how I feel when I visit her shop and love the vibe they bring to my home.
I have a tissue-box-cover with embroidered feathers that I’m crazy for. I never thought I’d purchase a tissue box cover haha. And I also have naturally-shed deer antlers wrapped in colorful thread. Two friends of mine found some earrings and a necklace, both one-of-a-kind pieces created by Dina and sold no where else. If you are in Chester, don’t skip this store: I’m sure you’ll find something too.”
