Bath has some nice things going on.
And here’s where where to shop for cool gifts.
Four months ago a new shop threw open it’s doors on Bayview Street in Camden.
And all the design nuts were thrilled.
They now have a fantastic new source for all the equipment needed to put together a very sweet lifestyle.
Because what the new shop, Sugar Tools, really sells is contemporary lifestyle eye candy.
The lovely owner, Amy O’Donnell, formerly worked with the brilliant Hable Construction in New York.
And she has recently brought her sophisticated ways to lucky Bayview Street in Camden.
Sugar Tools fills smart homes, and gardens, and closets with her sweet taste.
And hearts too — with charming gifts items, and stationery. Kids aren’t forgotten either.
The prices are sweet as well. Yum!

Nope.
This stylish shop is in another hotspot where folks with a certain sophisticated taste level gather.

They flock to places where style and design is an artform.
And they shop in only the coolest shops. Like this one.

It was a rainy day in Bath.
Perhaps it was this pretty umbrella that was the clue that this shop was the place to be on such a day.
It was so bright and cheerful inside that the gray outside disappeared. Ornament seemed an appropriate name for such a cheerful shop.
It’s Gayle Hunt who makes sure the beautiful space is filled with stylish supplies for enjoying Maine.
She also provides other great sources of inspiration for creating the iconic Maine lifestyle.
Which often involves ways of bringing the outside in.
Even on a dreary day, Ornament is on the sunny side of the street.
Ornament, 11 Centre Street, Bath, ME 04530, 207-442-6636, visit their website/blog.
It’s just off of the main drag, and worth the very short walk.
Working on new blog for Maine Digs and new design for 2bnMaine.
