A 10 % sale will be on all items local crafts as well! Phyllis and her metal artist husband Andy have set up their workshop and outbuildings to display and sell local crafts all through the summer/fall season American Crafts week highlights this and ends the season for them. After this the crafters take home their items and you can see Andy or Phyllis by appointment as the weather sets in and the folks in Maine hunker down for their long winter nap. Just kidding  we are working long hours with our long johns on,ha!

it has been a busy summer ! Thanks to all who visited and purchased from us ! We appreciate your support . Recently I can across a group studying the forgotten art of growing and working with flax and linen. There was a workshop I wish I could have attended in Historic Deerfield village in Massachusetts. Here is their link New England Flax and New England Flax and Linen Also this summer I have been fortunate to be dying from knotweed making a soft grey brown color that looks fabulous woven into a shawl ! The subtle colors enhance your features and go with a natural look ! Customers suggestions have been wonderful as they said to put it on a table or on the window too as a window dressing
