My favorite LSS is Ink About It in Westford, MA; it's easy to find, right off route 495 which connects to Route 95 near the MA/NH border; an easy ride from Maine in about an hour and 15 minutes; I also just heard about a store in Dover NH with a talented Copic person, possibly the owner! Dover is off route 4 in NH, also right off Route 95; I haven't been there yet but my sister-in-law was telling me about it the other day so I'm looking forward to checking it out soon!

I agree - my parents live in Westford and Ink about it is great. I haven't heard about the Dover one, but i will be on the list for my next trip home. Oh, there is also one in topsfield...I have never been it is call Absolutely Everything. I have never been and it might be a longer drive than you want.
Ink about it in Westford MA is great! The staff is very helpful and so welcoming. I go there as much as I can. Actually...left work early on Saturday to go there. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. It is well worth the visit!

Not a secret - we were just out shopping! - LOLOL...there are 2 that I would love to share - spend waaaaay too much time and money at each of them! Love them both!
Absolutely Everything in Topsfield, MA. Their name says it all! stamps, embellishments, paper, ink, copics, ribbon, albums, metal craft, dies, on, and on, and on! check out their newsletter and website.... they run classes all the time, your timing may be such that you can take part in one....Absolutely fun! They had a gigantic yard sale and sale in the store today....and yes, literally, I was there shopping for the terrific bargains!:-D
Ink About It in Westford, MA --- another wonderful store....stamps and samples galore! ink, copics, embellishments, paper, etc, etc, etc. They too run a bunch of classes that may line up with your visit....worth it to check out. Here are their websites:
Here's a link to the store in Dover, NH that I mentioned: http://www.stampeddesigns.com/
I have been to Absolutely Everything many times but it can be a little overwhelming because they have SOOOO much stuff, lol! If you like shabby chic or Tim Holtz, you'll love it; Ink ABout It also carry Tim's products along with A Muse products, Copics, Nestabilites, all the good stuff! I am going to a class there in June featuring My Favorite Things taught by Joanne Basile; I can't wait!

Kathyc - Hi, there! I'm not sure if you've been to Absolutely Everything recently....but there have been some big changes there....Great selection and a lot more organized and I believe not so overwhelming, they've expanded their lines beyond shabby chic and Tim Holtz and have bunches more samples on display. Some very pretty ones! Lots of Webster pages, Graphic 45 - paper, Newer and existing stamps include: Darcies, Inky Antics, Northwood stamps, Magenta, The Queens Ink, Beeline, Magnolias, Sugar Nellies, Memory Box, Hero Arts, Stamps by Judith, Impression Obsession and a whole wall of Prima Flowers & Embellishments and more...Yes, there's plenty here! just like the name says....LOL
Jennifer - if you make it to MA - both stores have lots to offer!
Love both of the local MA stores....Both have so much to offer! both worth the visit! Both have wonderful classes! Both worth the trip!
Happy Shopping!

Stamping Memories in Belmont, NH (in the Belknap Mall) has LOTS of wonderful stamps, some really beautiful papers, and lots of other goodies.
I don't know how far it is from Ogonquit though. I definitely try to get to Stamping Memories when I am up that way. I live about 35-40 min south of it and the southern part of the state is more where things are at. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and nice.
Scrappin' Soul Sisters in Concord, NH Lots of paper different paper you don't typically see. Owners are very nice!
Scrapbook Island in Derry, NH. Big store. Lots of everything.
There is also Talk, Paper Scissors on South Willow Street in Manchester, NH. I only recently found that.
I know there is also a scrapbooking or stamp store in Amherst, NH but I can't remember the name of it. It's like Scrapbooker's Cabin or something like that.
These are all I know about so far.

There's also Wholly Scrap in N. Hampton, NH - short distance from Ogunquit. They have a great selection of dp, and stamping/scrapping supplies! The owner Denise is very nice and my friend Kim works there!

I've been a couple times and the owner was very friendly. Lots of cute stuff and some uniquely NH scrapbook papers and embellishments. It's right on Rte 101 (on the right if you are heading west), just before Salzburg Square.
I LOVE Ogunquit and go a few times a year! Stamped Designs in Dover that was mentioned above is AWESOME!!! SO many stamps, nesties, the entire line of Copics....I could go on and on! It's only about 1/2 from Oguinquit so I would totally recommend it! I was just at Maine-ly stamps in April and the owner told me that they are getting TONS of Copics in as well!
Have a GREAT trip!!!
I think at this point I have to stick to only stamps as um, well, yeah, I have a *few* Copics and I may have a *few* sets of Nesties and also, I may just have a *small* collection of DP.
So, that being admitted to, which stores of those listed above would you lovely ladies (enablers) recommend for stamps only?

You would find it worth the trip! They also have a great selection. Very nice ladies too. I have never done it but she will hold a class for you too if she knows when you are coming and what kind of class you would like.
Pretty much anything except people/children with giant heads and no noses or mouths or anime type drawings.
Looks like you have plenty of places to pick from! We all have our favorites...there's quite a selection in both of the MA stores...no worry about the stamps that you don't favor.
You may just want to check out the websites and directions and see where they are and how far you are willing to travel on your vacation. Or if you are lucky, visit them all! LOLOL
A little furhter enticement - If you are in the area on June 6th & 7th Heirloom Productions is having their convention in West Springfield, MA. It might be about a 3 hour ride from where you are staying but if you never get an opportunity to go to a convention, this may be the closest that you will be. :p

Sounds like you have some great places in Mass! I'm going to the show in W. Springfield. I can't wait! Not much shopping up here in the woods...........
I'm psyched to do some in real life shopping. We only have two decent scrapbooking stores here and neither of them has an extensive selection of stamps.
I buy most of my stuff online so am looking forward to seeing stuff in person before I buy.
Ink about it is right off route 495. I live right on the border of NH and MA and it's the BEST place to look at some beautiful stamps. They are FILLED with stamps. It's so nice to have a store devoted to stamps. Tell them it's your first time there..they are very nice and helpful. They have stampers visit them from VT, Conn, NH, NY and MA. The guest book is fun to just read where everyone is coming from. I try to go about once a month..just to see the new stamps and other fun things. But mostly...it's stamps.
