“The quality & craftsmanship of the work done here is incredible. I’ve brought numerous pieces to them over the years, and every time I’m wildly impressed by the finished product. The skill & attention to detail that goes into their work is truly unmatched. If you have any kind of framing project you need done, look no further, THIS IS THE SPOT! Highly, highly recommend The Village Framer.”
“We ordered a custom cherry cabinet, initially for CD storage. It is, as is usual with Chilton's, beautifully made and very handsome indeed. The craftsman working on it checked a couple of our specifications and called us to point out a change or two that we definitely wanted to make. We are very pleased with, but not at all surprised at, his care and attention to detail. A+, Chiltons. Well done.”
“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 ✨”
“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!”
“I really like stopping here every time I visit Freeport. I like their "pick 12 teabags for $3.95" I can pick out tea to see if I like it without buying a whole box + other fun UK goodies! However calling it British Goods when a large portion is Irish and some Welsh items is a bit of a misnomer but all and all it is a wonderful shop.”

“Great shop to visit often. Lots of great art. Oils, water colors , prints and sculpture. Something for everyone and every home. Attractive prices too. Check it out”
“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.”
“A beautifully merchandised store with sweet and special kid items not seen everywhere. Stop here for a birthday gift, kid’s party supplies, a host or home gift or even the sale room— not to be missed! There’s a sense of the owner’s personal vision in this store that’s so welcome in downtown Freeport.”
“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.”

“My wife and I were shopping at the Freeport Orvis outlet today and wanted to give a shout out to the two employees that were on today. Extremely customer service oriented, friendly and helpful. Thanks for making our day a good one!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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?)”
“Extremely knowledgeable and adept in understanding what her clients want—and translates it with ease. Extremely fast. And always, always my favorite chat of the day. :)Service: Alterations”
