This is run by a couple, who according to the owner Patrick (who was manning the store when we were there) they aren't artists themselves, but they seek out artists from all over. There is a wide selection of art from sun catchers made of wrapped colored stones, and paintings on wood to vegan leather purses and wood turned pens. We stopped here and purchased a painting my partner wanted and then returned to pick up my purse before returning to the shuttle bus. I just couldn't leave without buying it. I'm sure if we had more time, we would have spent more. Bar Harbor has lots of tourist stuff. If you are looking for that special item to take home, check this place out.

While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.

"19 miles south of Calais & the International Border"…read more Halfway between the equator and the north pole you'll find the 45th parallel - and also the 45th Parallel, the best shop ever. I'm pretty serious about this. The guy that owns the place, besides having killer glasses, chooses some of the most unique stuff I've ever seen and sells it at reasonable prices. And it's not junk. And he's not a snob. You should talk to him - he's nice and smart. I can't say enough good things about this place. I guess the focus is home decor and jewelry, but there's more than that. Not just a store for women either; everyone should appreciate the unusual items here. I bought everything from various metal hooks with birds on them to a meteorite pendant. If you're in Maine, you should head to Calais, Lubec, Eastport, and PERRY because (it's beautiful and) you need to stop at the 45th Parallel. I'm not sure about their hours, so call ahead! Also, it might be open May - December. Allow an hour. http://www.quoddyloop.com/ep.shtml has some info - the shop is listed under antiques even though I can't remember any antiques. Maybe, though!

Since moving here 2 years ago this has become my favorite place to shop. Most of what they sell is salvage and overstock from other stores which most of the time means that if boxes are crushed or torn, packages have been opened, companies have changed the labeling on products or if they just have too much stock on hand, you will save BIG by purchasing at Marden's. Some of my finds have been: -Interior paint for $5, selling for $15 elsewhere -Vitamins, supplements & OTC meds for 30-60% less -End of season clothing on clearance for $5 or less -Popular hair appliances for about 50% off -Skincare and hair products for about 50% off -Foods for about 50% off -Home decor & kitchen items for about 50-75% off If you are a bargain shopper then you will love this place, be careful though because they don't have regular inventory, so you can't count on something still being there the next time you come in. Their catchy jingle will play in your head if you miss out on something: "I should have bought it when I saw it at Marden's"

However, I decided to drive by one last time at noon today on my way back to Boston and THERE WAS A HINT OF LIGHT. I parked, I ran-walked-skipped, and I barged right through those doors thinking to run into either Loren or Shawn. But nay, I was instead greeted by a sweet elderly lady with bright eyes surprised by the sudden intrusion of some random excited Asian dude. "Oh sorry, I'm not really open yet. I hope you don't mind the mess." "ME DON'T CARE." Sasquatch-wannabe-tourist gleefully responds. I came to find out shortly that it was Loren's mom, Grace, and she was definitely a delightful way to end my trip this year. You see, I came to really like this shop last year when I got to extensively talk to both Loren and Shawn during several visits to the shop because they were so fun to banter with. Not only did I receive local tips to the area, I came to really appreciate what they have done here over time through their little business. Their gift bags are printed with Loren's photography and Shawn's paintings! Truly beautiful and different from the other stores in the area. Definitely my favorite gift shop that I've visited so far and will continue to stop by and say hi whenever I'm in the area. Absolutely recommend!
