Maine Homes by Down East Editors Note
“Raise your hand if you can identify with St. Nick, drifting along without a posse to help navigate seasonal stressors and spread cheer. Longing to feel more connected to my community, and support those whose businesses were in COVID’s crosshairs, I made “buy local” my holiday mantra last year…But within days of ordering online, packages started accumulating on our doorstep: artful pinched-porcelain mugs by Eliot’s Elizabeth Benotti for my brother and his fiancé; an adorable boiled-wool pixie hat by Ellsworth’s Cute Knits for my nephew; whimsical screen-printed tea towels by Waterboro’s The Faithful Hound for a friend (and, ahem, me); a seascape embroidery kit by Portland’s The Mod Stitcher for my mom, hand-delivered from my friend Jessica Thomas’s Handiwork shop.

‘For those who want to try needlework, Thomas offers nature-themed embroidery kits by Brunswick-based Heidi Boyd. Or stitch up a mini-map of Portland courtesy of the Mod Stitcher. ‘The directions are really clear, the colors are all picked out for you, and they range in difficulty, so you can start with an easy one,’ Thomas advises.”
