It's a lovely place! Great items, most items are priced great, but unfortunately I saw a couple things that I would have loved to purchase and $25 dollars was alittle to high for used clothing. And it wasn't a high end brand. But all in all great place to shop close to home . Andnice & clean as well.

Great little thrift shop with a wonderful staff. It is very organized and clean. Selection is hit or miss but isn’t that the point?! We’ve stopped here each time we’re in town. Love it.

I popped into Heavenly Threads once while I was living in Midcoast Maine for several weeks and it was a total success. They only allow a set number of people into the two-story shop at a time. This means one has to queue in the front yard in order to get in but as it's a church thrift shop in gorgeous, peaceful, and quaint Camden, ME, one's line mates might become immediate thrifting buddies, as was the case with me. Time passes quickly when one is sharing banana bread recipes and wondering when the first frost will hit. Inside the shop, it's up to each person to maintain six feet or more feet of distance apart, per shop rules. Some folks wore gloves, everyone wore masks, it felt safe. And because there is so much lovely stuff to look at, it wasn't that difficult staying put in any given area, having a proper browse, whilst waiting for the next rack, shelf or display case to be clear. There seemed to be an unspoken choreography at play with folks just getting when to stay put and when to move. All of this takes time so please don't come for this shopping experience if you're in a rush. Like: why are you thrifting anyway? Thrifters know that at least 50% of the pleasure of hunting is the slow pace. I found a gorgeous, hand knit, variegated spruce green wool sweater (think deep dark fir run through with bits of turquoise, dark brown, pops of crimson, ecru and pale grey) that I swear-to-gods just took off to hand wash today, after wearing it several times a week for five weeks. It's become my blankie, my superpower, and sweater-shaped best friend. And when I was walking around in Maine, I looked like a spritely moving shrub. Cost: $10.00. I also found two excellent macrame wall hangings--70s-style or actually from the seventies. Mid-century freaks, FYI, this spot is for you as I paid $4.00 per piece. My newly found thrifting pals let me know that they shop at Heavenly Threads on the regular and then resale in their vintage stall down the way at 10 Mechanic street. They told me that the macrame pieces I found would make hipster summer folks mental. That just made me feel very good inside :D Just before I cashed out with one of the very sweet elder lady volunteers, I happened upon a number of lovely black and white mounted photographs and a strange little original lithograph. Acquired 8 works, 6 bucks. The hours are a bit odd, Wednesday-Saturday 12pm-3pm. Obviously, Saturday is the busiest day. It's worth it to make the trip over if you can, not just for the thrifting but for the gentle company of low-key Midcoast ME fellow thrifters and super nice staff.

Visiting Camden for several days now. This store is currently open from 12-3. I love to pop in to stores like these and look for vintage treasures. Those hours are hard to catch on vacation as it is smack in the middle of the day. However, today we managed to get there. There was a small line of people, probably four people in front of us. All socially distancing. Suddenly a women opened the door, she let all the people in front of us in and when we reached the top of the steps, the store keeper closed the door in my face! I understand there are limits to the amount of people etc.. but I think it might have been appropriate to greet us, say something. Anything at all rather then just shutting the door in.my.face. Needless to say I didn’t wait a moment longer. We left. I read that she stresses about closing time and it was 2:35. Was that it? But say something. Explain your procedure, say hello and thanks for your patience... not a word. Not cool.

This appears to be a nice and tidy thrift store. It's charming from outside. I was a little put off as I was walking towards the door and a woman was very quick to tell me that they were closing in "15 minutes sharp". I decided to go have a quick look anyway. Everything appeared clean and well displayed. There were no bad odors. There were several rooms of treasures. There were clothes, shoes, dishes, glassware, and home decor items. I didn't see any large size ladies clothes. I would like to have had a little longer than 15 minutes to shop. I was surprised that they closed at 4:00pm. It does look like a good place to find treasures.
