Stylish ghouls will find just the right Halloween gear in this hauntingly cool shop.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, in Wiscasset is the sister shop of Smitten, and shares the same stylish gene pool.

Rock, paper, scissors. Wiscasset, Maine. Stuffed animals.

If the thought of encountering a store where you want everything you see makes you uneasy, then you’ll be horrified at what you find here.

Terrified at the sophistication.

Rock, paper, scissors, stationary in every color. Wiscasset, Maine.

Frightened by all the shelves packed with beautiful papers and stationary. (Very much like shops you see all over Europe, but rarely in the US.)

Bittersweet berries close up, Maine.

It’s hard to compete with the spectacular colors on the trees this time of year, but the bittersweet vine is fearless. And triumphant.

You’ll find it growing wild in woodland settings all over Maine. As well as decorating shops and homes.

Spider web, Maine.

Spiders hopefully won’t be found in the lines at Market Basket, Chases Daily, or Farm Fare, but they have a fantastic alternative.
