“We ordered several Knox chairs. They are extremely comfortable and we love them. Very well constructed. Chilton provided timeline for construction of chairs and delivery and they were good for their word.”
“My most prized possessions are all from Campfire Pottery. I fell in love with their work when I lived near their store in Portland. Everything is so beautiful and functional. I've received a ton of compliments on their items. My favorite item is the espresso cups. Their shipping and customer service is excellent. I'm trying to stop shopping at big corporations and I am joyfully redirecting my funds to small businesses like Campfire. I have a line item in my budget just for their pottery.”
“I love stopping in here when we visit Portland! The owners and staff are engaging and welcoming. I feel like I’m in another country and taken a trip to a Scandinavian country! Lots of great Moomin products, from tea and china to baby products. Great card selection and Marimekko tableware. Thanks for sharing your Scandinavian experience!”
“This place is a GEM. I can't believe it only has 36 reviews. I purchased one of these animal wine-holders (absolutely adorable) and had it shipped all the way to Chicago. Staff was very friendly throughout the process. Would highly recommend this place - there are so many cool things to buy!”
“I've been to the store in Portland, and I've ordered a piece online. Both experiences were very pleasant. In the store, even though I didn't buy anything at the time (I didn't want it to break on the plane ride home), the woman who showed me around took the time to answer all of my questions. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the different types of pottery, even explaining one particular glazing process in minute detail. The collections were varied, and all were beautiful in different ways. Months later, I went to their website and purchased one of the pieces I'd admired in the store. The piece arrived quickly, packed very carefully with detailed care instructions. It looked even better than I remembered, and it made a lovely gift for a dear friend of mine. I can't wait to visit the store again when I return to Portland this summer.”
“Awesome unique shop with something for everyone! Women’s and men’s clothes. Various home goods and accessories. Best of all dog friendly! The workers were all so sweet and helpful. Got some awesome BYGO half off deals too. Super cute shop and totally recommend.”

“I was just walking around in Portland and spotted this cute little shop. When I tell you I could spend the whole day in there I really could. The whole vibe of the store was just amazing. The girl who worked there was so friendly and helpful. I could literally buy everything in the store that's how much i loved it in there. Next time I come up there to visit I'm definitely stopping by again.”

“Came into the store for an incardi machine print but stayed and left with so many special goodies! Ranged from Portland Maine treasures to general cute tchotchkes and home goods. Lots of great gift ideas as well! Will always pop into this store when in town!”

“Terrific store. I stopped in on a whim and looked for a gift for my wife. The clothes here are unique and tastefully designed, and the owner-designer is a very cool woman who found a great item for me. My wife loves it.”
“This place has so many fun, curated gifts. I picked up these dessert utensils for my toddler as he transitions to adult utensils and they’re stunning. He actually enjoys using them. $16 each and totally worth it!
There are so many fabulous things but the store is tight so strollers are tough getting through.”
“The food is frankly phenomenal - it's themed around delicious Cajun fare, but your traditional bar staples (*cough* try the fries *cough*) are also absurdly good.
The cosy atmosphere is reminiscent of Cheers, there is frequent live music, and the best part is that (outside of live performances) they don't blast the music! You can hear yourself think and have a conversation without yelling, a rarity these days.
Bonus points because all their stools/chairs solidly touch ground with all four legs, so no wobbling all night because you got the dud seat.
Gardens outside for those who are into plants, and an eclectic consignment store right next door for that good wandering.
Haven't tried the breakfast/brunch menu yet, but excited to go back for that.”
“I come to Portland Maine at least once a year and always go straight to Jen’s studio. I love her designs and the “primitive” feel of her jewelry. I’ve pretty much given up wearing any of my other jewelry.”
“Absolutely love this store! Whenever I visit from California I make it a point to stop in here and buy something. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. Everything here is beautiful and a great value. Highly recommend stopping here when checking out Portland!”
“Old Port Specialty Tile has a great selection of tiles, including many that you don’t see in other tile shops. We initially bought small glass tiles for our two shower floors and had them installed about five years ago.
Unfortunately, some of the tiles started popping out about 18 months ago. It turns out that, even though the manufacturer of these tiles didn’t acknowledge it, they weren’t suited for floor application. But, not to worry, Old Port Tile let us choose replacement tiles and installed them at no charge. That’s what I call exceptional customer service.
We just had our new floors installed, and they look great. I’m so pleased I selected Old Port Specialty Tile for our project and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to our friends.”
“We have purchased many beautiful pieces from this store and have loved every single one! The quality of the furniture is outstanding and adds a truly unique and old world luxury feel to any room. We absolutely love love love your store!!”
“I highly recommend working with Gerard! I was at the store on Black Friday and as busy as it was, he was extremely patient and helpful! Also, the store has a great display of of items, which make it helpful if you are a visual person.”
“I recently purchased an entire living room package from Ethan Allen, and frankly couldn’t be more satisfied than I am. The entire process was a pleasant experience. Jackie, the interior designer, came to my home and discussed the space, how we use it and the feel of the space I wanted to achieve. She nailed it! The delivery of all pieces went smoothly, the delivery guys were very respectful and careful while moving the furniture. My new living room is beautiful and the overall experience exceeded my expectations!”
“I was surprised to see a couple of 1 stars in the reviews. I am suspicious of reviews that are one sentence. Also a few reviews that use the same words!! I had a wonderful experience at this shop. The owner let me in a few minutes before she opened. She was putting merchandise on the sidewalk but let me and my dog go in. I found her to be very friendly and talked about our hometowns. I bought a vintage hobnail tea light holder and a Little Tikes solid wood table and chair set. The price for the candle holder was the going rate. The price I got for the table and chairs was fantastic!!!! I would overlook those questionable reviews and go browse the store.”
“Really kind & understanding workers, with amazing merchandising displays and setups!! The sale section is way in the back - located in the historical bank's vault. It's really cool seeing the vault door/lock and all the old bank elements. The fitting room is unisex, but spacious & private. I really love the vintage/historical feel that's maintained with all the modern/grungy touches Urban adds!
I really wish they would add some Urban Outfitter's Bedding/Sheet sets in-store! Thought they had a dedicated home goods section for some reason. Their duvet sets are popular & often sell out online because they have such unique designs. Parking is not bad at all on the small side streets - you might have to cross the street/block though.”
“Jessica is the best! She is so helpful and has such a good eye. I love bringing in inspo photos for her to help me piece together my vision. She helped me overhaul my bedding and I’m obsessed”
“Nestled in the second oldest surviving building in Portland this hidden gem is a must see. Surrounded by some of the most beautiful textiles you will ever see or feel this is a must stop if you are in Portland if for no other reason than to see the amazing decor and gorgeous original architecture showcasing these beautiful blankets and throws, candles and accessories. This place is is amazing eye candy for all of your senses.The brainchild of two life long Mainers it is a constant flux of new colors and materials which won’t disappoint. Hans is a wealth of energy and information and couldn’t be more helpful and has been an incredible guide every time I’ve stopped With textiles featured in the guest rooms of The Canopy hotel and the showrooms of Chilton furniture I was thrilled to eventually find this showroom nestled in the heart of Portland harbor.Having made multiple purchases I can attest to the quality and longevity of their products as well as the beauty it provides for your home.If you are in Portland and love beauty, charm, comfort or simply architecture do not dare to miss this shop. And tell Hans I sent you (I’m sure he won’t remember me but it sounds so connected doesn’t it?)”
“Catherine from Lady In The Moon was an absolute gift at my birthday party at my home. She brought such a warm, grounded and personable presence, truly the perfect energy for an intimate gathering of my closest friends and loved ones. She immediately made everyone feel comfortable and seen, which set the tone for the entire evening.
What stood out most was how deeply relevant her readings were. Several of my friends commented on Catherine’s ability to naturally home in on what was happening in their lives, using metaphors and language that were uncannily specific to their personal experiences, things she couldn’t possibly have known beforehand. It felt thoughtful, intuitive, and incredibly resonant for everyone involved.
Catherine didn’t just offer tarot readings; she elevated the entire experience and made my party feel meaningful, connected, and memorable. I would highly recommend her for a personal reading or as a truly special addition to any event, birthday or otherwise. She made my celebration unforgettable, and my friends are still talking about it ✨”
