There’s a particular kind of light that shows up in Maine in late August — a little softer, a little longer in the evenings, like the whole coast is easing into the next season instead of rushing toward it. It’s our favorite stretch of summer, and it always brings out a new round of favorites in the shop. Here’s what’s been catching our eye lately, from Portland’s Old Port to our flagship storefront in downtown Bath.
New This Season: Fisherman’s Pottery
Every piece in our new Fisherman’s Pottery line is handmade, and it shows — no two mugs are quite the same. The Captain’s Mug ($48) has become an instant favorite for its weight and warmth in the hand, the kind of mug you reach for without thinking about it, whether it’s for your morning cup of coffee or your evening Maine Mule cocktail. It’s a small daily reminder that the best things are usually made slowly, by someone who cares about the details, in this case a father-daughter duo.
We’re firm believers that appreciation shouldn’t be seasonal. The Mother & Daughter Sea Glass Necklaces ($115) are matching pieces, each set with its own one-of-a-kind piece of sea glass, made for two people to wear on any day they feel like celebrating each other — not just the one Sunday in May that gets a card aisle. Give it as a “just because,” and it’ll mean more for the timing.
The Watercolor Lobster Tea Towel($24) is painted by Maine artist Tracy Eisenhauer, and it’s the kind of piece that blurs the line between kitchen tool and wall art — soft, hand-painted color that looks just as good hung up as it does put to work drying dishes.
If there’s one thing we’ve shipped more than anything else this season, it’s the Mini but Mighty Maine Gift Package ($39). We’ve packed it for kids at summer camp missing home, customized it for corporate retreats looking for a little Maine charm, and sent it to best friends scattered far away who just needed to know they were thought of. Small box, big impact — and proof that you don’t need a big gesture to make someone’s day.
Some things are made for a specific moment, and the Cold River Blueberry Vodka Rocks Glass ($24.99) is made for this one. Pour something local, pull up a porch chair, and let the sun go down slow — it’s the kind of glass built for the nights where the only plan is one more round with people who make you laugh.
Whether you’re wrapping up a Maine vacation or just soaking in the last of the season close to home, these pieces are a good excuse to hang onto summer a little longer. Stop by our shops in Portland’s Old Port or downtown Bath — open daily — or browse the full collection online.

Beach Sand Earrings by Gabby
While August brought us the last month of warm, beach days, we decided to bring the beach to you – wherever you might be. Introducing a new collection by Simply Tilton Jewelry: Maine Beach Sand Earrings. Gabby’s journey began in 2018 as a creative outlet while in graduate school, initially focusing on metal-stamped jewelry, but her passion for nature and jewelry making has led her to explore resin designs. Her earrings features real sand from the beach, allowing you to carry a piece of Maine’s coastline with you wherever you go. Gabby’s dedication to perfecting her craft shines through in every piece, making her jewelry not just beautiful, but a true work of art. Whether you’re a longtime Maine resident or just someone who finds peace by the water, these pieces are a wonderful way to honor the natural beauty of Maine.
September:
Rare Red Sea Glass Jewelry by Sue
As sea glass becomes more scarce, each piece grows even more special. In September we added just three pieces of Rare Red Sea Glass Jewelry by Sue. With over 25 years of Maine living, Sue has spent countless hours collecting and crafting these one-of-a-kind pieces, each featuring sea glass that’s naturally surf-tumbled by the ocean. This jewelry not only celebrates Maine’s coastline but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment. Embrace the challenge of finding these rare gems and cherish the uniqueness they bring!
The stunning Rare Red Sea Glass Signature Necklace is a true standout, paired with sterling silver to highlight the glass’s smooth, translucent beauty.
Sue’s designs often incorporate freshwater pearls, sterling silver charms like anchors or sailboats, and occasionally matching earrings, though finding a matching pair is becoming a rare treasure in itself.
October:
✨NEW✨ Lobster Rope Doormats
In October we added a whole NEW collection of Lobster Rope Doormats in-store and online! These durable mats are made by a father/daughter duo in Deer Isle, Maine.

Not only are these mats resistant to mold, mildew, saltwater, sun, and insects, but they’re also quick-drying and floatable—making them perfect for boats or outdoor spaces.
