The Forget-Me-Not Factory has been one of my favorite whimsical stops for years. You’ll find it right in the heart of old town on Main Street, tucked inside one of the largest and oldest buildings around. I still remember the first time I walked in. It truly felt like “where fairy dust and bubbles meet to create shopping magic.” And honestly, I’ve been coming back ever since.
