L.L.Bean should hire this guy.
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Foster Huntington, sounds a bit like a law firm, but is actually a student at Colby. (These are all his fantastic photos!)
He’s a young man from the Northwest, who studys in Maine, and publishes a very stylish blog called “The Restless Transplant.”
Which seems to indicate that he’s not going to be in Maine too much longer.
But it’s pretty clear that Maine will accompany him wherever else he goes.
His blog reveals the life of a college student discovering himself, honing his new skills (great photos!) and absorbing the world around him. And he naturally understands how to build a ‘brand.’
He loves the stories behind what he perceives as the Maine ‘lifestyle.’ He loves clothing. Especially old clothing. He has great style. And he’s very fond of the color red.
Go take a look, and discover the Maine you know is there, but sometimes you don’t see.
And remember his name — Foster Huntington. Have a feeling it’ll be popping up somewhere fancy, if not on a label, in the not too distant future.
Maybe even at L.L.Bean.
Hypnotic seaweed.
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010In Maine, even seaweed is beautiful. Click here to see the larger version of the video.
3,000 miles of rocky coast, clean water, and the large tidal flow make Maine very seaweed friendly.
Seaweed is a $7-billion global industry. It’s used for food, fertilizer, chemicals, even medicine. Maine’s entrepreneurs are taking notice.
As if lobster wars weren’t enough, now the seaweed battles have begun.
Just in case you forgot.

In the middle of winter, it’s hard to imagine what the future will bring in a relatively short time.
Having four seasons is like moving to an entirely new place every few months.
Amazing!
Pink winter skies.

Winter windows.

Cold outside, cozy inside.
Fragile windows frame the frigid beauty of Maine’s winter.
Even while taking a shower.
Making spirits bright!
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Lincolnville Beach lit up the night with their Christmas spirit. (It’s so great 2bnMaine this time of year.)
Wishing you all the joys of this magical season!

Smoking sea.
Thursday, December 17th, 2009
Sea smoke occurs when the air is much colder than the water below. It’s essentially a cloud. The evaporation happens faster than the air can absorb the water vapor and the surface wind blows it across the sea.
Just another beautiful, but chilly, part of winter in Maine.
Santa Style shops at Smitten.
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Smitten, in Wiscasset, is where Santa gets his ideas for big kids who are a bit hip, with great taste, who’ve been very, very good.
He’s very smitten with this fantastic, silvery, shimmery, delicately cut, metal, snowflake forest. (Would be surprised if it’s still there when you go, however. But maybe they have more.)
It’s where you too, can find scads of ideas to brighten up your shopping chores.
Like tablescapes ideas to make entertaining even more fun.
And lots of elegant surprises for those very lucky friends.
Just a few steps away from Smitten, the gifted owner, Erika Soule, also owns another amazing shop – - Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Where you’ll find oodles of wrappings, ribbons, stationery, papers, cards, games, toys, accessories . . . and even a mouse!
