After leaving Freeport on Tuesday morning we headed back to Portland, Maine to check out Portland Architectural Salvage and man was it cool. Everything you could possibly imagine on 3 floors {and a basement too if I remember correctly}. It was about 1,000 times better than any antique stove I’ve ever been in and we could have spent all day there wandering around looking at the eclectic mix of items for sale.
My favorite thing was this old pub sign from Connecticut. How cool would that be hanging in a pool room or in a man cave?
I’ll do a proper post soon but if you are ever in the area, be sure and take an hour or two to stop by and have a look around.
After Portland Architectural Salvage we stopped by Boulangerie in Kennebunk. The bakery popped up in my Instagram feed a while back and I’ve been following their updates on Instagram ever since. The selection is small {and delicious} and it’s the kind of place where locals meet up and read the newspaper or stop for a quick lunch. If I lived in Kennebunk I’d be a regular customer. The spinach, brie and tomato sandwhich was divine!
Kennebunkport was for the most part, closed up when we arrived so we didn’t get to look in on many shops… But then again it is a coastal town nearing the end of winter and I’m sure there aren’t enough tourists around to support all the shops staying open 7 days a week.
Store fronts with winter hours posted were on most of the windows we walked by.
Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The buildings were closed for the winter but the next time we are in town I’ll be stopping by to learn more about them and to take a tour. I don’t know what it is about old houses… but I LOVE them.
Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I LOVE YOU!!!
