Harbor Imports

we happened upon this gift store outside of the main center of downtown boothbay harbor;…read moredistinctively placed next to the seafood/hot dog stand, which i hear is excellent, but have yet to try it (next time). at first one would believe it was only due to the anxious anticipation of shopping for something i wanted (imagine a shopaholic on the brink of freaking out for not shopping in the last 4 hours...). yes, it wasn't pretty... what great little gifts and other assorted goodies, not the typical tourist gifts shops located throughout; the owner considers her place as "unique gifts from the spice islands" - indonesia. i can't wait to see the expression on everyone's face when they receive these little exceptionally priced imported gifts. i give credit to the woman owner, patricia stone, utilizing a small area, making it an interesting and eye-catching place to stop. her pleasant and relaxed manner made it even more enjoyable to pick up as much as i could carry. i would have bought more, but needed to wrap it up in order to prepare for a night out for dinner (see newagen inn, southport, maine review...eek!). if i knew what dinner was to be, patricia would have been extremely happy. i had only began to shop when it was time to go. located as you venture through the one way road out of the gift shop route, where you begin to enter residences, then happen upon this excellent find. patricia has another showroom in wiscasset, which i never seen nor can review, but if it is like this place, then it rocks! reason i select home/garden in the categories is because of the type of gifts that can be used in gardens too.

It came out beautiful and was the perfect compliment to the watercolor art. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Due to the stressed supply chain, the frame ended up being backordered. They gave me the option to select another frame or proceed and wait. I waited for the frame and it took about a few weeks and it was worth the wait! Pricing was reasonable and I was happy to support a small business here in Maine.

My 4 year old son knocked a painting off my sister's wall and cracked the glass. I wanted to get the glass replaced before she got back from her shift at the hospital, so I took it to Yarmouth Frame and Gallery. And I brought my son, I guess to make sure he learned his lesson (I don't know, made sense to me). They not only could fix it, they said they would do it right then and there. So my son and I looked around the gallery. Beautiful stuff. I mean, amazing. And 5 minutes later they walked out and handed me a perfectly fixed painting. And....didn't charge me. Wouldn't take payment. Literally wouldn't let me pay. I almost burst into tears. This year it's so rare for something good to happen, I just wasn't expecting it. I didn't know what to say. Actually speechless. Not sure this review begins to repay them. And I'm not talking about the money part. I'm talking about going out of their way to be good people. Sorry for the long review, here's the summary: Go here. Bring things to get framed, get fixed and to buy art work. Because you won't find nice people anywhere. Little faith in humanity restored. And this year...I really needed that.
