Well-Tempered Kitchen

Although undergoing some renovation when we stopped by, they have a full range of kitchen implements and supplies — especially by Maine standards. Housed in an adorable farmhouse, we found items we needed: a glass pitcher, a colander, and a sleek stainless spoon holder. They have a small selection of cookbooks, but a large collection of kitchen implements. Well worth a stop!

A store as cool as its name! After we left the Edgecomb Potters on the way back to Rockport we stopped here, having seen it on the way south. It’s housed in what looks like an old farmhouse. As we drove up the driveway we passed a beautiful rusted metal coexistence sculpture. When I walked into the store the classical radio station was playing the «Pie Jesu» from the Faure «Requiem». Too lovely. They have a rack of those quirky Koziol gadgets near the door, a bigger assortment of them than I can remember seeing before. They have Brown Betty teapots and tea cozies and just about any cool kitchen gadget you could imagine. Gorgeous knives that feel good in your hand! The woman working there was friendly and helpful. We bought a few little things. Who could resist?
