Exciting news out of the charmingly quaint Lewiston, Maine! A store named ‘Shenanigans LLC’ is throwing open its doors, and I couldn’t help but do a double take. I mean, who wouldn’t want to shop at a place named after a term synonymous with mischief and playful trickery? Sounds suspiciously fun, right?
While specifics are as scarce as a Maine summer day, their Facebook page does offer us a glimpse into their mystical world with the slogan, “Witchy, Cottagecore, Nerdy, Gift Shop.” Let’s unpack that. I can only assume this means you can buy a potion, a vintage cardigan, and a Dungeons & Dragons starter set all in one go. Truly, the trinity of hipster heaven.
The grand opening is set for February 2-3 from 11 AM to 6 PM. If you’ve ever wanted to spend a Saturday afternoon wondering if you’re more of a witch or a cottagecore enthusiast, now’s your chance! They’ve packed their cauldron and moved from Gorham to Lewiston, conveniently located at 906 Sabattus Street, Suite #1—because nothing says ‘mystical market’ like a business address with numbers.
And let’s not forget, they’re big on supporting local artists and vendors. I mean, because nothing says “Hey, we support local talent!” quite like showcasing alchemic artifacts next to handmade coasters. I fancy a world where small shops are an eclectic mix of witchery and artisan bread; it broadens the shopping experience while simultaneously creating an air of organized chaos.
If you’re scratching your head at the term ‘cottagecore,’ allow me to enlighten you. Picture a Pinterest board come to life—where vintage clothing and handmade crafts intermingle with fields of wildflowers. It’s essentially a hipster’s dream come true, where you can channel your inner elf while sipping herbal tea. Trust me; it’s as enchanting as it sounds, but with about twice the amount of plaid.
I took a peek at Shenanigans’ website, and their inventory is as diverse as a Netflix catalog on a Friday night. They specialize in everything from alchemical supplies to handcrafted clothing. So if you’re in the market for a crystal that might let you commune with your houseplants, or simply want to look fabulous while you do so, this place has you covered. Cheers to unique niches popping up in our beloved town!
So, mark your calendars, grab your witch hats, and prepare for a shopping excursion that promises to be as quirky as it is charming. Because in a world that sometimes feels a little too mundane, embracing all things witchy, cottagecore, and nerdy might just be the dose of enchantment we didn’t know we needed.
