Cole's Corner is a throwback for me, as it was one of the spots we used to regularly stop in during…read moresummer trips to Maine when I was a kid. Since we were in Wells on our way to the nearby Maine Diner for lunch, we thought a stop here would be a fun blast from the past - so off we went. CC is essentially a collective of vendors who are selling their merchandise; the store is divided into little "cubbies" across two floors - with each cubby showcasing a specific vendor and their merch. The selection varies - lots of home decor in varying styles, but I also saw a lot of crap too like used Tupperware and old McDonald's toys from the 90s. There were a few VHSs which awesome if you're collecting those - but then I saw some marked up Beanie Babies? We were truly stepping back in time when entering Cole's. Overall, this was a fun throwback - there's a lot of stuff here to see so you can easily spend a good chunk of time going through each vendor. If you're staying in the Wells/Kennebunkport area it's worth a stop in.

Dragon Star Creations is a must visit! You can't miss it, by the way, as there is an ENORMOUS gold dragon statue in front (for my Fourth Wing friends, it's giving big baby Andarna vibes). I was looking for a few very specific items, and the staff here went above and beyond to help me. Even after we both realized they didn't quite have what I was looking for, they spent time doing their own research and offered some creative suggestions that absolutely worked (and I genuinely wouldn't have thought of otherwise!). Even after I had made up my mind, they went ahead to do even more research to make sure I had all the knowledge I could about the items I was buying to make sure it aligned with my vision/needs. They're thoughtful, they're patient, they're friendly; I felt supported and never like I was being sold to while I was here. I ended up buying a couple seasonal candles too (handmade made by the owner!). They feel like they've got good energy, I love that they were topped with crystals and herbs unique to the season I was celebrating, and I'm excited to come back to buy more for my alter in the future!

Businesses come and go in Dock Square - some are new, others have been here since I first went to Maine as a child. The Whimsy Shop is on the latter end of that spectrum, and was always known for carrying more upscale gifts compared to a typical touristy souvenir shop. My brothers and I were looking for a gift to bring back to our parents from Maine, and thought this would be a good place to check out. The majority of their selection is home decor - there are a lot of porcelain products as well as a few housewares. They have pretty stuff, and even though it's a small store you can spend a good amount of time browsing. We ultimately decided to go with a hand-painted ceramic snowman to go with our parents' many other snowpeople they display during the holidays - it was intricately painted an truly a unique item. Service was friendly, they packed the item with care and even gave us information about the artist to take home. Overall, I had a great experience rediscovering the Whimsy Shop and would recommend it as a stop during your Kennebunkport explorations.
