This is so great, you've put together a wonderful selection of Maine makers! I'm new to Substack, browsing about for other Mainers and Maine-interested folks, and am glad to have found your newsletter. I write Moments, where I share photography (mostly Maine) & stories about moments of connection in nature and everyday life. My family are homestead Downeast in Columbia, where we've been building up a little homestead for the past 7 years. We do also have an online hand-crafts shop at rivenjoiner.com :) Looking forward to seeing even more Maine inspiration from your newsletter!

I love this. The felted muscle shells are amazing.

There are so many incredible Maine makers. I’m a big fan of Spruce Tree Studio in Tenants Harbor. Hearth and Harrow in Camden also comes to mind. I just finally tried honey from Sparky’s Apiary in Hope and that, alongside their candles, would make a lovely gift.
