Nice Quality Ts, beautiful designs, pleasant people, but be sure of actual sizes & try them on if possible as a # of ours were a bit small.(I needed to lose some weight anyway).

I have been obsessed with Liberty Graphics since the 90s and recently through Instagram discovered them again. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find the home store was only a few minutes from my friends home where I was visiting! We bought way too many shirts from the "seconds" bins. Shirts with a mistake or were out of print. Honestly felt like I was the one getting the better deal as most shirts were 2nds because they had a design on front AND back. 2 for 1! They're a classic for a reason and everyone in the family was able to find multiple designs they enjoyed. They also sold a few snacks, postcards, books and puzzles.

Wonder-filled designs, incredibly friendly staff, a number of other Maine-made crafts available in the store. Off the beaten path and well worth a slight detour.

Great deals on high quality seconds(not quite perfect) tee shirts, bags and aprons. Huge choice of first-run (perfect) designs. All sizes from the littlest to the very portly. Worth a visit if you are poking around the area!

These are the nicest people you'll ever work with here, and their t-shirts are of the highest quality for a reasonable price. They employ mostly local, all US artists to come up with their inspiring designs that surpass any I've seen. It makes me happy just knowing companies like this still exist!
