Sales Event now at Bittersweet Gift Shop

Take 15% off* your entire purchase this week at the Bittersweet Gift Shop.
*That includes just about everything in the shop except stuff that's already on sale and consignments. Like this beautiful Jim Shore Easter Angel--one of our best customers requested we get these this year--we hope you enjoy them too.

Also just in--cotton dish cloths--you know the ones. You can use them to clean dishes, your counter tops and when they're looking worn, throw them in the washer and dryer and they're like new. We have them in bright colors and soft colors--hand made, Maine Made and are retailing for just $2.50 each!

Oh and yes, the famous rats are back...rats with clothes, rats on bikes, rats with rakes, rats, rats, rats.

Grand Reopening A Success!


It is sure nice to be back after being closed for 8 weeks and really good to see all my friends who stopped by to say hi. This past Saturday, 3/7 we had our grand reopening and gave 10% of our day or $100 to Bucksport Community Concerns.
I want to say thanks to everyone who stopped by for your support. We met some new friends and got reaquainted with some old and a lot of people came in specifically to support BCC.
I was very happy to hear those comments to know that what we do is appreciated! Looking forward to seeing everyone this spring--come check out all the great new merchandise we have in the store!!!
