All of our products are made with perfectly preserved old growth timber and reclaimed wood from the bottom of the Penobscot River – the vital byway that once made Bangor, Maine “the lumber capital of the world”.
This reclaimed wood offers preserved, high end timber rich in character and stunning color. Its beauty is full of history and adds a uniqueness that cannot be replicated, whether being finished for reclaimed wood flooring, furniture or wall paneling.

Jill Miller has over a decade of baking experience under her apron. She owned The Runcible Spoon in Nyack, New York with her husband Lou for 11 years, a full service bakery specializing in flavorful homemade pies. Focusing on their family, Jill and Lou then moved to Kennebunkport, Maine. Eager to put her hands back in the dough, they opened Port Bakery, another full service bakery featuring the same outstanding pies Jill was famous for in New York.
Over the years, Jill heard more and more customers ask for a gluten free option. She decided to take matters into her own hands, creating a gluten free crust that’s not only moist and flaky, but delectably buttery too! Filled with an abundance of fresh fruit and the finest quality ingredients without preservatives or additives, Maine Pie Co’s pies are a delightful treat for everyone.
Jill and Lou have built a designated gluten free kitchen in Biddeford, Maine where they create all their lab certified gluten free pies and products.

At Fish in the Garden our mission is to create new, unique and creative home and garden accents. Our design focuses on the visual –cerebral sensations of ‘flow’ that is most clearly seen by the way schools of fish curve in response to elements throughout an underwater landscape. Using stainless steel and ceramics, we aim to deliver this fluid beauty in its organic forms to your home and garden.
By selecting a fish species found in your area, our designs deliver a regional relevance that so many people are looking for when decorating their interior and exterior spaces. Our designs have the versatility to look as exceptional displayed across your mantel as they do schooling along your perennial beds. Schools of Fish in the Garden unify unrelated elements in your landscape creating a sculptural presence larger than the sum of its parts.
With tails formed to the left and to the right our fish curve in response to landscape and architectural elements, contributing line, color and momentum. Interesting and colorful glazes add life and visual interest to every garden space or living room. Our designs look great in any numbers. No other home and garden accent has this modular quality. We invite you to explore our website or call our Maine studio with any questions.

I’m a 14th generation Mainer and hail from a long line of folks who were makers including a woodworker, sculptor, pastry chef, and a boat builder. Fortunately, those creative genes were passed onto me.
I attended the Rhode Island School of Design graduating with a Jewelry and Metals BFA in 1994. For several years after college, I worked for various jewelers in the Providence area while fine tuning my skills with their guidance.
In 2001, I returned to my beloved Maine. After a lengthy absence from the bench (back to school, brief career change, marriage, pregnancy, and child, in that order), I returned to silversmithing, opened my online shop and vended at my first show in 2008.
My work is ever evolving and my inspirations are varied. People have described my jewelry as modern treasures. I like to think of my work as future heirlooms. I build jewelry to last this lifetime and beyond.

We make our homemade super premium ice cream at a small plant in Monroe, Maine. Our close-knit team puts a lot of love and enthusiasm into our production process. The ingredients we use include milk and cream from Maine farms, real sugar (never high fructose corn syrup), and natural flavorings and extracts. We are passionate about supporting other local businesses, so we use Maine growers for as many of our ingredients as possible. For example, the apples in Caramel Apple Crisp are grown by Maine-ly Apples in Dixmont and the maple syrup in Maple Walnut is from Kinney’s Sugarhouse in Knox.
Our Carpigiani batch freezer makes 2.5 gallons of ice cream in about 10 minutes and has a small overrun (the amount of air incorporated into the mix), which results in an extremely smooth and creamy product. We offer approximately 25 flavors, some of which are seasonal.
We have a fleet of three “Mobile Cone” food trucks. Be on the look out for us at events around Maine!

Coming from a long line of handcrafters I continued in that vein when my art teacher sister introduced me to polymer clay over thirty years ago. A versatile oven bake medium that can be manipulated into many different end products I chose to make ornaments. My mother would make or purchase an ornaments for each of us as we grew so did out collection of ornaments. When I left home to make my way in the world those memorable ornaments came with me. I began making Christmas decorations for family and friends and quickly expanded to selling to the public at craft fairs and then went online over twenty years ago. New design ideas are definitely generated from suggestions from current customers. Often the idea will show up when least expected. like the middle of the night!I have the pleasure of now seeing the children of early customers return to begin their own collection of Winter Whimsies ornament for the families they are starting. That is truly rewarding.
