Downstairs in the basement tho...totally differed from the main floor and second floor. Basement...smells...moist lol.

So Yelpers...Go In The Woods! You will love it! Cheers!

There are a bunch of toys at the entrance at child height. My husband was watching our daughter and…read moreshe was touching the toys. She had placed one on the floor to test roll it gently, as he was intending to buy it, when a store associate told him she shouldn't touch the toys because dogs come into the store. Then she continued on about how if that's what we want to do it's our kid but not to play with the toys. My husband apologized and was having our daughter put it back. I was shrugging the moment off and tried to continue to shop but then overheard the associate continue on to her coworker about how "they can't read" and "they don't want to tell their precious little one no" etc, etc. The tone was all very condescending and unnecessary when we had already complied and apologized. We had been in the shop only moments, were watching to make sure our kid didn't break anything, so no, we hadn't gotten around to reading the sign. I fetched my family and we left, which is disappointing because I had been looking forward to shopping here specifically. Items looked lovely, staff interaction left me uncomfortable.

I would never have found this shop if it wasn't for the reviews here. It's located off the main…read moredrag so you might miss it if you aren't looking. 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.

The store features unique decor, jewelry, accessories and home items. I spent the most time looking at colorful local artwork, sniffing a variety of perfumes and eyeing up some lovely leather goods. While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.

The Good: *This location has stuff made by 60+ artisans, according to the lady at the register. *Speaking of the lady at the register, she was helpful, efficient, and friendly. *Great place to pick up unique gifts for loved ones or to take home something really cool for yourself. We found a nice painting of a lighthouse that we're bringing home. :) *Speaking of stuff, their selection is voluminous with tons of stuff from clothing and paintings to postcards, jewelry, and much, much more. *Prices are actually fairly reasonable considering the quality of the products--and especially the tourist factor of the area. *Wifi thru Xfinity Mobile, which is a life line in this area The Meh: *Store is a little tight in spaces, especially if you're an ogre like myself The Ugly: *Zero cell signal in the area Conclusion: Fantastic place to grab locally made goods at a reasonable price.
