Portland, Maine: Folly 101 & Blanche and Mimi Home
Posted on | August 18, 2009 | 5 Comments
Two of my favorite home stores were both in the Old Port section of Portland. At Folly 101 items are grouped by color. Soaps, linens, and small accessories fill the open air space. I couldn’t leave without buying a set of cotton/linen blend pillowcases for $32. A simple floral eyelet along the edge is totally adorable. How cute are the polka dots pillowcases too? Call the store for ordering info.

Down the street from Folly 101 is Blanche and Mimi Home. Beautiful textiles drape over well curated antiques. A nice selection of bedding from Plover Organic gives the store a modern twist. I bought a few dishtowels by Libeco for styling my veggie boxes.

I stopped in Blanche and Mimi once when I was in Portland. The shop is so sweet — love the girly-vintage-bohemian mix of everything.
