Made in Maine- the way Christmas should be

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Maine is a state that is chock full of uber talented folks dreaming up and bringing to life a wealth of  high quality, unique, handcrafted creations.

Simply meandering along Route 1 will expose you to numerous galleries, wineries, breweries, artisan workshops, craft co-ops, photographers – you name it. And there’s  a lot more to Maine than just what is along Route 1!

If you would like to see just how many talented folks are out there roaming around the state, just take a look at the following websites:

                                                         

                                    www.UnitedMaineCraftsmen.org

Being a crafter/creator/artist myself  (and member of the United Maine Craftsmen) I have many other Maine artists that I admire and have a great appreciation for the time and effort they  put into their creations- whether it is food, jewelry, photography, decor…

So, I just thought I would offer up a few of my personal favorites that just might help you with your gift list this year. While I am not affiliated with any of these businesses,I  have met many of the owners in person and can tell you that they are all wonderful, talented folks!

 
 
 
 

Once upon a time, there was a little island off the coast of Maine called Isle au Haut where two people, named Kate & Steve, made the best chocolates EVER! Well, lucky for us, they are still there and are doing what they do best, making chocolates that are so yummy I have trouble finding the words to describe. Many of our guests have had their romantic stay at Clark Point Inn enhanced with these bits of Heaven. We hope that when you visit us you'll want us to order some for you too! Not just the chocolates, but the bark and the sipping chocolate and the froglets and the... They are life changing!
