Just to avoid any confusion & misunderstanding, please NOTE that I do say
DOWNTOWN Lubec.
As far as I am concerned this is the HIGLIGHT of downtown & the main waterfront — i.e., ‘Water Street‘. It is really the only proper shop, downtown, bar the hardware store (that I have yet to visit).
‘Dockside Treasures‘ is FUN, has a ton of v. clever & cute artistic stuff, an exquisite view of the ‘Narrows‘ & the ‘Mulholland Point Light‘ (across the water in Canada), great coffee, attractively priced wine & good vibes. The owner, who is a font of local knowledge, likes to say that she has the best views of the water — & I concur.
They have $9 jewelry grab bags made out of lobster bait bags. Very cute — like everything in there. On my first visit, on a whim, I bought two bags. They were BEYOND a BIG hit. Daughter loved what was inside. I think I have bought at least 6 more since. My daughter can’t get enough of them.
Yes, full disclosure. My books are on sale there — & they sell more copies than anyone else, even Amazon! So, that enhances my draw to the place. But, check the pictures (above). You should be able to tell that I, as is my wont, being candid. Also, of late, the owner, ‘Wanda Corey’, has been posting videos on Facebook. You can check them out here.
IF you saw the last book you will know that I included them in it. That alone has to say something.
