101 Things I Love about Potland Maine

163. Portland is loaded with fun and funky specialty shops with new ones popping up all the time.  If you are looking for something different for a gift or your own home, check out these 2 stores on opposite ends of  downtown on Congress Street.

The first is Ferdinand near Munjoy Hill.  Loaded with fun items--some old some new, you are sure to find something that you need--including cards, jewelry, and toys.  http://www.ferdinandhomestore.com/


Next, is a new store with about 50 different vendors--The Merchant Co.  This shop has everything from clothing, jewelry, notebooks and other stationery and decor pieces.  Have fun browsing through the 100's of items by Maine artisans.
