Growing up in the village of New Gloucester, Maine, I knew that long gray winters would soon shift into bright summers working in the garden with my mom. When I’m creating totes I aim to physically capture life’s brightest moments. I grow, tend, and harvest organic materials in small garden plots in Maine and Massachusetts. With careful attention to waste management and sustainability, each item is crafted by hand in small batches. I hope you enjoy your pressed petal creation as much as I treasured bringing it to life! Our 2024 Spring line consists of five Cary All Zip variations. As shown, zips come with a pink, orange, royal blue, light blue, and white zipper. Flowers and petals vary depending on strap color. No two zips are the same, as no two petals are the same. As products are made to order, it can take up to two weeks to receive your pressed petal creation.

Elizabeth Mast Hyatt, a summer resident of Wayne, Maine, amassed a large collection of bookplates in honor of famed opera singer Annie Louise Cary (1841-1921), who was born in the town. This plate is Hyatt's own, a simple design of a lamp or torch, with her name and the date 1912. The phrase "Ex Libris" (from the books of) became emblematic of bookplates, and was included in many bookplate designs. The artist and engraver, Walter M. Aikmen, was based in Brooklyn, New York, Hyatt's winter residence. Adjacent to his name is the Latin word "fecit," meaning "he made it". Hyatt was involved in the planning for a library that was built in Wayne in 1938, and dedicated in 1939 as the Cary Memorial Library. The bookplate collection was subsequently donated to the library collections.

Words by Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, Kathleen Hackett The authors of the highly successful The Maine House continue their quest to record and celebrate the authentic Maine houses of their childhoods--a Maine that is in danger of vanishing. "The Maine House [shows] us the dignity and aching beauty, in preserving Maine's quirky architectural past."--Maine Homes by Down East Spend any amount of time in Maine--a weekend, a summer, a lifetime--and its impression lasts forever. When The Maine House was published in 2021, the reception was astonishing. Over four printings and across the world, The Maine House sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it "crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as 'extraordinary gifts.'" The Maine House II moves beyond the authors' cri de coeur; they're on a mission. Through 30 homes--inland, inshore, and on islands--Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most. From visionaries who saw home in a post-and-beam barn, a lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, The Maine House II captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place--in the present--while preserving the past and ensuring its future.

It’s a truism among writers that some of the best art is rooted in constraint; the strict rules of a sonnet or a villanelle can scaffold (rather than quash) creative expression. One might look to Jan Jaynes and Joe Knoblock’s … Continue reading →
