101 Things I Love About Portland Maine













96. Shops and boutiques in the Old Port--I walked around the delightful Old Port area tonight and went to an old favorite and found a new favorite---both on upper Exchange Street. The first is Folly 101 which has a wonderful combination of chippy, funky antique furnishings like lawn chairs and small tables; and a colorful array of home and decorator items like dishes, linens and candles. They have some very sweet children's clothes in the back, too. Check it out frequently as there are always new wares. Great place to buy gifts!
The next shop is nearby--Motifs. This store has all sorts of jewelry, reading glasses, home goods and other fun stuff. The most exciting find for me was the great selection of women's clothing including one of my favorites of all time--Krista Larson! Her clothing which is made in New Hampshire from beautiful materials is unique and so edgy that you will be way outside the fashion box. Congrats to owner Paula Jalbert for bringing her to Portland!
