  • Scribbles & Doodlez Cards

    I love a cheeky card! All Scribbles & Doodlez cards have fun sayings and fun designs! I love keeping a stock of cards because you never know when you’ll need to send a “pick me up” card or a “Congratulations” card!

  • Jill Home Lobster Claw Door Stop

    As their slogan reads, “We all have doors and doors need decor, our doorstops will not only do their job but do it in style.” Made of cement and adorned with nautical rope, each is hand-poured and hand painted, so no two are exactly alike. These make every Maine home feel legit!

    Enjoy!

  • BinderskeepersArt Moose Folded Book Art – Moose

    We just love what Chelsea does with her book art! She gives many options for customization for a more personal gift – but in the true Maine spirit, the moose design feels most fitting to share! We could see these on shelves at home, camp, or in the kid’s rooms!

  • Acorn & Artisan Jewelry Mini Gold-Filled Studs

    Ski season (all outdoor activities) is almost here. Earrings are my go-to jewelry to toss on to make myself feel put together - just in case we decided to enjoy a little Après. These mini gold studs are lightweight and elegant looking. Most of all, the studs do not poke your neck when compressed with a hat or helmet. These make the perfect winter earrings to have on while partaking in Winter activities!

    Cheers!

Memories Jar

As we approach the time of year for giving thanks, we thought we’d share an idea that takes that sentiment and frames it a bit different. Someone recently told me that their family started a memories jar. When something really funny or really sweet happens, they write it down and put it in the jar. When the chaos of the day to day and feeling a bit disconnected with each of their own runnings around catches up to them, they find time to sit down as a family and read through these funny, sweet memories. It centers them. It reminds them. And, it brings lightness. So, while we’re in the season of grateful, thankful thoughts - consider switching things up to make it a year long thing!

Find a jar, a bowl, a basket, or an old plant pot. Bonus if you and the family decorate this vessel together! Put it in a family central spot, and start collecting those memories!

Enjoy!
