A cute small artisan arts and crafts shop in downtown Somersworth…read more Its actually a local community crafters studio and event space, which is great for a place in Somersworth. They have art workshops and the artists then sell their art in the shop. We got some wonderful lempon grass soap and are very happy with it. ($4.00per bar.)

Driving along a main road in search of our breakfast stop, we passed by Claudette's, not realizing…read morethat it was in her home. My mom and I were up for the weekend and we were intrigued by some pictures found online, so we decided to add a stop to our agenda. When we arrived, there were a few cars there, so we parked near them and a door that we assumed was the entrance. When we entered we were overwhelmed by the amount of products, followed by the amount of space that was dedicated to crafting. I wouldn't think that so much stuff could fit so neatly into one person's home. The first few aisles are lined with charms for necklaces, bracelets and other needs for crafting projects. There were rows of beads, gems, and other fun goodies. I found a bunch of wreath making supplies, a room of flowers and a room of ribbon...and some Christmas items. The owner is a super nice person and I can only assume that she was "the" Claudette, since I never did ask her name. My mother and I were just so excited speaking with her and checking out the craft samples that she and her family had made. This place is for the true crafter. One who isn't afraid to spend their time looking through thousands of items just to find that perfect piece. Though I'm sure if you ask, you will be told right where you will find what you're looking for. I did not see any scrapbook or junk journal type materials. Because the business is in the lower portion of a home, I would assume it is due to climate control. Did I mention that the prices are quite reasonable? I left with a full bag of so many fun things that I just can't wait to dive into. The store is closed on Sunday and Monday, so be sure to plan accordingly. Mom and I are already planning our next trip.

Interesting small plaza off Route 202 in Rochester. Good for…read morethe essentials, but not much else as there's not too many stores to go to, and barely any food spots. Truthfully, I don't blame Famous Footwear for moving to the Ridge. The Ridge just seems to have a better flow and be less choppy in general. This place is basically a bunch of little plazas, combined all into one large center. Definitely not the best design that could have been possible for this center. Lowe's is great, and that's about it. Buffalo Wild Wings I'm sure is fine, and Jo-Ann's looks fine too (but Hobby Lobby did just open.....), but everything is scattered and a bunch of the stores like Kohl's and Petsmart are smaller than any of the retailers other stores. It seems like a trend. It's not that bad, it's just that, when a new shopping center is built, there are certain expectations that come along with it being new. Rochester Crossing doesn't seem to have completed the job fully, and made it an actually useful center for the people in Rochester. If I lived up here, I would be spending a whole lot more time at the Ridge Marketplace, and probably even the Lilac Mall. Too bad, maybe this place will improve over the years. 3 stars for Rochester Crossing.

But it's a nice way to spend a half hour, and you can see a gundalow (big wooden rivership) getting built just down the green. Also, they charge $10 for parking in the lot. Don't pay it, since there is abundant enough street parking that you shouldn't feel like you need to get extorted like that.

If you're looking for something crafty with a Portsmouth theme, the selection here is really good. Of course there's a lot more than that inside, and you should check it out for yourself.
