The Not So Empty Nest — Local services in Bangor

Even out here on the West Coast we are comforted these days by the amazing pancakes and syrup from Maine’s “Not So Empty Nest”—but it’s really the daily snapshots of the gorgeous repainted furniture that warms my heart the most.

Love the creativity and caring service that comes out of this beautiful store— there are unique handcrafted gifts...

Super cute shop with unique gifts and home goods! I finally found the perfect sign for my bathroom here and a pillow to match our living room art! If you're a plant or pottery lover you must go here. Also, I asked for a custom mug, and they're working on it right now! Something for everyone....
