Holiday Shoppe
12/04/2010 at 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Just in time for the holiday season, the old-fashioned shoppe brings together 22 Maine crafters and artisans to display and offer their unique goods for sale. The event is free and open to the public, with plenty of free parking, says museum director Patricia Henner. Among this year’s shoppe offerings are maple sugar products from Freyenhagen Family Farm, wholesome breads from Daily Bread, in addition to items hand-knitted and felted by the Friday Fiber Friends, along with wreaths, reproduction toys, woven rugs, and handcrafted soaps and jewelry. Edibles such as fresh cow and goat cheeses from Olde Oak Farm in Orono will be available for purchase. Black Dinah Chocolatiers of Isle au Haut will be selling scrumptious hand-crafted chocolates. Those who attend are sure to discover wonderful gift ideas, as well as Maine’s thriving community of crafters. Good tidings and cheer will also be present.
