The dooloop is the must-have leash accessory for all dog walkers who scoop their dog’s poop and end up ‘holding the bag’. A dooloop is ridiculously quick and easy to use, no longer wave poo at your friend, accidentally drop it – and no more leaving it behind to pick up later! No one appreciates that, am I right?!
With a dooloop, your hands are freed up for your morning coffee, a phone call, sharing treats, or holding someone’s hand.
Dooloops are made in Maine of non-toxic, recycled/recyclable plastic and hand-assembled, for packaging that doesn’t require single use plastic: useful, cute, affordable and light-weight (<6grams), the dooloop is good for you and kind to the planet.
Dooloops come in 7 colors, lobster red, millennial pink, matcha green, charcoal, new blue, Bari’s lilac and woof white, Malibu pink, aquaBella, sage that shit, and ‘sad beige’ – for city folks
Spread Peace, not poo! And Love your walk:)
Dooloops make a great gift!

S. Timberlake Company was founded in Bethel, Maine as a mail order company by Sam,Ross, and Natalie Timberlake in 1974 and did not have a “formal” showroom store until 1979 when space was leased in Portland, Maine’s “Old Port District.”
The first products we made were the classic ladderback Shaker chairs. We were impressed by the strength of the joints and durability of such a light-weight chair. Today, we make a complete catalog of Shaker furniture for every room in the house.
The S.Timberlake workshops and showroom are located on Routes 2, 5, and 26 in Bethel,Maine. Tours of the workshops are frequently given to visitors.

The Native American tradition of handcrafted pack baskets began hundreds of years ago, and the skills used to produce the traditional Ash pack basket have been passed down from generation to generation. The Loring Outdoors company was born from this beautiful Wabanaki cultural tradition when Wane Loring learned how to weave pack baskets from his father, Eugene Loring, a Penobscot Tribal Member and Master Basket Weaver.
Eugene spent many nights and weekends handcrafting pack baskets to fill custom orders from select clients. The traditional Ash pack baskets are magnificent products of long hours of dedication, attention to details, and unique craftsmanship. These baskets tend to be more expensive due to the time it takes to make one and the cost of materials.
As a young man, Wane wondered how he could improve on his basket weaving technique to produce a less expensive, yet more durable product. Wane spent all of 1999 testing a variety of synthetic materials to modernize the timeless tradition of the Wabanaki by making pack baskets that would satisfy the current market.
After a year of research and development, trial and error, and customer feedback, Wane finally developed a synthetic pack basket so strong, it was nearly indestructible. Wane tested the market by giving his new synthetic pack basket to hunters, ice fishermen, nature photographers and videographers, and other outdoorsmen to have them tested. The only requirement to receive a free beta Loring Pack Basket at the time was to get really rough with it and let Wane know how it handled the experience.
The response was amazing. Everyone was surprised by the strength of the baskets and how easy it was to care for them. Since then, Wane, his wife Kim, and his sons Justin and Jesse have been working hard to improve the quality of their baskets, which are still hand-woven with the same care and passion as their ancestors.
The Loring’s are very proud of their Wabanaki heritage and basket making tradition and still produce and sell traditional Ash pack baskets. However, their current focus is to provide customers with nearly indestructible baskets at a reasonable price.

Tracey Graves has developed a deep appreciation for the things that matter most. From an early age, she had a unique perspective on life as the daughter of a funeral director. As she got older, this view of the world shaped her desire to always find meaning in the little things.
In 2007, as the busy mother of two young daughters, Tracey began making jewelry as a way to channel her self-expression. A self-taught designer, she loved the challenge of figuring out how to create what was in her head. Inspired by her reading and the people and places around her, Tracey’s creations were more than just pieces of jewelry. They were personal mementos infused with meaning.
In 2012, she began working full-time on the business. She launched her first wholesale line, and started working with shops around New England, creating pieces to serve as reminders of special places. Soon after, Becoming opened its first shop and studio in Kennebunk, Maine, while continuing to grow its wholesale line. Today, Becoming offers multiple collections, each piece crafted by hand in Maine.
Becoming is about small things with big meaning: a word that becomes a mantra, a place you wish to remember, a gentle nudge to pick you up, a deep breath, a person you hold in your heart, a date you’ll never forget. It’s about celebrating both the everyday moments and the milestones, a gift to give yourself or someone you love. A Becoming piece is a reminder to find joy in the little things, an invitation to pay attention. Becoming is finding center, coming home, pursuing adventure. Becoming is where you’ve been and where you’re going. Becoming is what you are.

Dean Bingham of Dean’s Sweets began his truffle making career years ago as a somewhat casual, somewhat serious sideline. As an accomplished architect for decades, his fine sense of aesthetics and high standards made truffle-making an irresistible pursuit. With the art of chocolate-making, Dean applies his design talents in the selection of the highest quality ingredients. And because each is hand-dipped, he creates a unique piece of art with each truffle, always attentive to proportion, texture, hue, and above all, taste. From the very beginning, Dean witnessed a consistent pattern of “wow” and delight whenever anyone bit into one of his truffles.
Encouraged by these fans of chocolate, Dean’s Sweets officially opened for business in 2004. Though the business is more “serious” now, the truffles haven’t changed – they are still individually hand-dipped and exceptional!
