Honestly, I wish I could give this place zero stars. The owners were incredibly rude from the moment I walked in, acting like helping customers was a chore, loudly complaining to someone else that was there about how awful her life was. The atmosphere was tense and unwelcoming, and the products were just as disappointing: dull, totally uninspired and really just the same junk you'll see at every other subpar gift shop. Nothing here stood out except for how unpleasant the experience was. Save your time (and your money) and shop literally anywhere else.
Great for both vintage finds and Maine made decor, gifts, candy etc. I love the monthly markets they do at the vault right next door. We had a great time at the Halloween market and plan to attend their Deck the Halls event in November. Staff is incredibly kind and accommodating, this is a family run business and it shows. You’ll be glad you stopped in.
This is the cutest shop I've ever seen! We found so many beautiful things, very fairly priced and we'll presented. A pleasure to just stroll around or buy some vintage treasures
OMG this is the best place. beautiful items all so unique and so reasonably priced. Also the inside is so clean and tidy it’s wonderful to walk around every corner reveals more treasures! I love love this place and will certainly return over and over and over again.
Very clean and will laid out floor plan. Each area had a good theme to it with a variety of items both old and new to choose from. The booth Once Upon A Season had items that brought back childhood memories. Loved it!
A gem!! Gourgously laid out store, you can tell a lot of thought was put into the displays and item placement. Easy to walk through with an abundance of antiques, local makers, and vintage inspired souvenirs and decor. Will definitely be back, owner was very friendly and prices were very reasonable!!
Freckles is a treasure hunt like the old days at Pier 1 !! Love the set up in the brick historical building and the themed rooms. Darling friendly owners to top it off.
I love this store! The main floor is a mix of vintage and artisans with a bit of the eclectic. One a month there is a vintage market in a second space that is simply awesome. It calls to the local community, who adore and support this shop, as well as followers from afar!
Always new things at good prices! I generally make it over to Winthrop once a month specifically for this store. When the basement Vault is also open, it's a double delight!
Freckles is owned by Nicki, a very helpful, friendly woman. Girl power!? I was pleased to see masking, distance, and reduced capacity safety measures are all in force here!
The vendors carry everything from vintage clothing to carvings depicting Maine towns, lakes and ponds. I love the frilly aprons and the chippy furniture!
This week, the Valentine theme was carried from a classic mystery of Nate the Great through heart-shaped baking molds and artistic paper collages.
You MUST check out Freckles shop, and plan on a couple hours if the Vault is open. Then come back to see all the little things you missed!
I love shopping local!!!! And this place is a gem.... The variety, the quality, and the vintage trip down memory lane--- sure to please all shoppers and those who don't even like shopping! Freckles is a find....go and then thank me for sending you. ?
This place is truly my spirit store! My dear friend recommended I stop by and now I'm addicted! Love seeing the posts about their vendors and new merch. The owner of the store is lovely and pleasant to talk to!!! Truly the gem of Winthrop in my opinion!
This place is great! I stopped by to check it out soon after they opened, and kept finding more cool stuff. I left with my arms full (something I never do), and will stop by again next time in the area. A lot of fun, unique stuff you'd never see on Amazon or big box retailer.
This is such a neat place to stop by! They have such a varied and interesting supply of goodies to check out! And good for any decor! Plus the family who owns this place are just the sweetest and coolest bunch!! Especially their little kiddo!! He is the neatest!!!! It's definitely worth a drive and they are even open decently late ?
