Maine produces less than 2% of US sea scallops, and our small dayboats fish so differently from the much larger offshore fleet they’re essentially producing a different product. We meet Maine’s dayboat fishermen at the dock, quickly packing or freezing their scallops and shipping them off to customers across the country so people can finally understand what scallops are SUPPOSED to taste like. Our scallops, scallop rolls and other seafoods make great gifts. Our scallop varietal kits are a great way to introduce friends and family to just how amazing scallops can be. Yes, scallops have different flavors, just like oysters! So go ahead: Taste the difference a day makes®

At Signature Woodworking, our journey began with a passion for craftsmanship and working with wood. As an engineer and skilled woodworker, I have always been fascinated by the way raw materials can be transformed into something meaningful and lasting. What started off as making gifts for family and friends has now become a business for us. Our family business is truly a family affair. My wife and youngest son, who is a young adult with an intellectual disability, are integral members of our wood shop crew. Over the years, our experience in engineering and woodworking has taught us the importance of precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. We bring these values into our workshop every day.

I grew up in the white mountains of New Hampshire. Spent a lot of time playing by rivers and in the woods and swimming in lakes as well as skiing and hiking. I lived out west for several years before coming home because of the water. I have lived in some of the most beautiful places in the country And inspiration from them. I am very curious about nature and love to draw inspiration From it. I like to infuse my work with that feeling of being connected to the natural world.

My first memory of working with clay was when I was 11 yrs old and visiting my sister at college. She worked in the ceramics studio and I was immediately entranced. Walking into that huge space, looking at the rows of wheels, smelling the clay, it was magic to me. She helped me throw a few small bowls, which my parents still have today.
I have always been a very tactile person, and have been drawn to different careers that utilize my hands such as baking and massage therapy. I rediscovered my passion for working with clay when I started working as a studio assistant for Mangum Pottery. After 5 years of working and studying with them, as well as taking workshops at Arrowmont Craft School and Penland Craft School, I launched my own ceramics business.
My work is influenced by textiles from around the world, repeating patterns in nature, and geometric shapes that can be found everywhere when we slow down and take the time to look. I love the meditative process of carving into the clay and seeing the repeating patterns and textures form on the surface of the pot.

I founded Playful Jewels over 14 years ago, driven by a passion for creativity and craftsmanship. After taking a few jewelry-making classes, I was captivated by the intricate processes involved in transforming raw materials into wearable art. My love for the beach and the natural beauty of sea glass has profoundly influenced my design aesthetic, which often reflects the serenity and organic forms of the ocean. Through Playful Jewels, I aim to create pieces that embody both elegance and a deep connection to nature.

We are a husband and wife small business. Julian has a background in architecture and security system design, and Jen is an elementary music teacher. We started this business on a whim when a friend of ours had a broken laser printer and asked Julian to take a look at it. He quickly fell in love with all of the ideas and items he could create, his first being a map of Casco Bay. We had our first fair in October of 2022 and quickly realized that we had something that people were interested in. We quickly grew not only as a small business, but as a couple. At that first fair we had only been dating for 6 months, later that year we got engaged, and we have now been married for over a year and have a beautiful daughter. We took a step back this past spring, as Josie was born three months premature and we were in the NICU with her for 93 days. We have now been home for almost as long, and are loving that we can get back into our small business and have already started shows for this fair season.

My journey into natural skincare started with a personal struggle—sensitive skin that reacted to almost everything. As a child, even basic skincare products would leave me with red, blotchy spots. My mom could only wash my face with water, which inspired my lifelong curiosity about skincare ingredients. As I researched, I discovered that many common ingredients were major culprits for skin irritation. Determined to find a solution, I began exploring plant-based alternatives and eventually started crafting my own soaps and creams.
The transformation was immediate—my skin no longer felt tight, inflamed, or dry. As a licensed esthetician and hairstylist, I was constantly exposed to harsh chemicals that further aggravated my skin. Despite using high-end, expensive products, nothing worked until I committed to creating my own formulations. These handmade products were not only gentle on my skin, but also provided the nourishment it craved.
Today, I blend my passion for skincare with my professional expertise as a certified formulator, with distinctions in cosmetic compliance and formulation skills. As a long-time member of the Handmade Soap & Cosmetic Guild since 2005, I’m dedicated to creating products that meet the needs of people with sensitive skin—just like mine. My inspiration comes from nature and the belief that our skin deserves protection and care without harmful chemicals.
Every product I create is a reflection of my personal journey and my mission to help others discover the power of natural skincare.
