“This store is so special and unique! Their selection is so wonderfully curated (including the Marimekko napkins) and Tom was lovely to speak to. I would recommend this place to anyone :)”
“I recently had a tarot reading with Catherine and it was wonderful. She was warm, welcoming, and insightful, and the reading really resonated with me. I left feeling hopeful and grounded. The shop is amazing as well. Highly recommend visiting and getting a reading!”
“I first discovered Campfire Pottery while staying at Wolf Cove Inn, where they use these dishes in their restaurant. I had never once thought I wanted pottery as my everyday dishes, but the moment I used theirs, I understood the difference.
The weight, balance, smooth finish, and especially the handles feel just right. Every piece is substantial without being clumsy, handmade without feeling rough, and beautiful enough to make an ordinary meal feel special.
Afterward, I tried looking for less expensive pottery, but nothing had the same feel or quality. I have come to realize that this truly is a craft that cannot simply be discounted or duplicated cheaply. Campfire Pottery is worth saving for and purchasing a little at a time.
I absolutely love the pieces I now own, and in the future I hope to buy some for each of my adult children as well. These are not just dishes. They are the kind of pieces a family can use, treasure, and pass along.”

“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 store has a stunningly beautiful array of artwork for all tastes and budgets. From wood, to glass, to ceramic and beyond, this store is an absolute treasure trove of finds made by local Maine artists. They also offer shipping in case you do not have a way to get it home yourself. I was able to purchase 2 vases as a gift for a dear friend, and they even included my handwritten card that I brought with me to ship along with them. While strolling through Old Port, do not miss the opportunity to check out this shop.”

“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.”
“If I could give the store more than five stars I would, the customer service is beyond reproach. I bought a bar of soap there which I loved and three weeks later it was gone and I couldn’t remember exactly what it was so I called and he went through hoops to find out which soap I was looking for long story short I ordered more he sent them to me and I will forever be buying it from the store”

“Obsessed, perfectly curated and so cute!
We were searching high and low for some art and gifts to remember Portland by and every other gift shop was ridiculously expensive. I ended up getting two art prints, a magnet, and some match books”
“Visited Jen Burrall Designs for the first time a few weeks ago. What a gem right here in Portland!!! Jen’s handmade jewelry is absolutely stunning!!!! She is in the process of making me a ring with Seaglass, I can’t wait to pick it up, the intricate design within the ring is amazing!! She also made me a band, made with sand from the beach in Maine, it’s so cool!!! And the clothes, WOW!!! The styles Jen has picked out to sell in her store are absolutely beautiful, she has an eye for fashion, a true artist!!! I picked out so many eclectic pieces, and she’s always getting new, fun styles in. She also has other really cool items that she sells, that would make awesome gifts, like bags, and wallets. I have been in, now a few times, and like I said she always has new, different, cool items to browse through. Also, Jen is super cool, laid back, and easy going. It’s such a pleasure seeing and talking with her. She makes you feel so comfortable and welcomed in her space. If you’re looking for something different, beautiful and hip visit Jen at her shop in Portland, I can promise you, it will not be your only visit!!! Thank you, Jen for your positive, and creative energy!!! See you very soon!!!

“Great selection of lighting with a friendly, knowledgeable staff behind it. Was greeted promptly and politely and left with the answers I needed and a plan to purchase. Highly recommend!”
“A beautiful shop filled with thoughtfully curated home goods, skincare, candles, linens, and other items with a French aesthetic. It felt like every shelf had something interesting to discover. A wonderful place to browse or pick up a special gift.”
“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.”
“Love love love this shop. It's my happy place. It's charming and provides a real customization service. After spending over $1000 on the fabric , I wanted to find a shop that would customize my beautiful drapery panels. Communication was easy, as they were very helpful and responsive. The shop itself houses their work room. Explore and experience this special shop! You'll find great inspirations to redo your home.”
“We walked into this store on a whim while we were on vacation in Portland, and we were warmly greeted and welcomed in by Stacey. We didn’t buy anything that particular day, but she left us with a good impression of her and the store. When we needed assistance a few months later with an exchange of items from an online order, we reached out to her for help (we don’t have a local store in our area). We really appreciated her care and assistance in finding a set of glassware that matched our needs, and she made the entire process feel personal and easy. We cannot speak highly enough of Stacey and the Portland store. Thanks again for everything!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Incredible staff and well stocked and visually appealing store. The location is an old bank and oh my god its so interesting to look at. My only complaint is for the staff, I wish Urban Outfitters would splurge and get these wonderful ladies full time security so they are able to do their jobs without worrying about being harassed, assaulted, or worst by shop lifters.”
“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!”
“Great Vintage clothes for a great price! Head in and peruse the selection, I bet you will find something you like. Our kid secured these shorts that were on sale, just $5, a FANTASTIC price for such a fashionable piece! Plus the owner is an AMAZING person!”
“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.”
“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?)”
“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”
“I purchased a pair of MS1 Nightstands in white oak. Communication with Chilton was very helpful as I arranged for pick up and needed to coordinate timing with the production. The pieces are beautiful works of art that I enjoy everyday. The craftsmanship is great. What a privilege to own handmade pieces of furniture that will last.”
