At Maine-ly Wool Mittens I use only up-cycled wool and fleece for my mittens and liners. I believe that helping the environment is a responsibility that we all share. By visiting local thrift shops and yard sales I help to reduce the amount of materials going into our landfills. I give new life to an old tired sweater by creating a one of a kind pair of mittens or slippers. In addition I take all the scraps that are too small to be used and donate them back to my local Goodwill where they are used in many different ways such as sound insulation in car doors and padding in airline seats.
Jo-Ann’s For the Luv of It
I specialize in handmade jewelry, custom jewelry and unique one of a kind jewelry pieces. All are handmade by me in my home studio in Bristol, Maine using sterling silver and Hill Tribe silver, gold-filled, lead and nickel free pewter and Zamak, semi-precious gemstones, fresh-water pearls, crystals, artisan lamp work, blown glass, vintage beads and Czech and Italian glass beads. AND, NOW I’M INTO LEATHER!! The beauty of nature that surrounds me has become my inspiration. I don’t believe in mass-produced jewelry. My one of a kind jewelry designs will be your own original wearable art. I also accept custom requests.
Maine Homestead Inc.
We started with a bag of cucumbers from my grandparents garden, fell in love with canning & Maine Homestead was born!
Maine Homestead started as a way to use up the bumper crop of cucumbers from my grandparents garden in 2011.
After realizing that we could never eat the 100 jars of pickles we’d made and enjoying looking for new recipes to try, we decided to try our hand at farmers markets and craft shows. We moved from there into wholesaling, placing our pickles and jams in over 500 stores all over the country!
In 2017 we opened our own retail location in Lyman, Maine selling our products as well as a selection of exclusively New England made products from gifts to meat, dairy beer and wine and fresh in season produce.
Thanks to all the local support we have had an amazing start and look forward to continuing to create great local food for our community!
If you would like to add our products to your store please reach out to us at WholesaleMaineHomestead@gmail.com

Mainely Pet Portraits
I specialize in custom hand painted pet portraits, welcome signs, painted glass and giftware.
My slate paintings are done by hand on vintage roofing slate and come in various shapes and sizes. The process starts when you upload your photos and ideas to me at which point we will consult with each other as to what your expectations are. From start to finish, you will receive great customer service and a quality product guaranteed to be enjoyed for years to come. I will send a picture of the completed artwork at which point you are free to make any changes you deem necessary. Once you approve the artwork, I will sign it, apply a protective coating, and string it with a durable leather strap ready to hang inside or out.
My artwork extends to glassware for any occasion and painted Christmas ornaments! Bulk orders available upon request.

Hilltop Handspun
The yarns in my shop are made from alpaca, mohair, wool and angora fleeces that I hand select from Maine and New England fiber farms and are spun at a local mini-mill often on a fleece by fleece basis. Some white yarns I use for dyeing, including my sock and lace weight yarns, are purchased from larger companies.
Beautiful colors, which are inspired by the local mountain environment, come to life during the hand dyeing process in my kitchen.
Many of the dyes are home made from plants harvested from my gardens and fields. Other dyes are non-toxic and safe for the local watershed.
Solar powered electricity and solar heated hot water are used to offset energy use during the hand dyeing process.

Lana Plantae Yarns
Lana Plantae, Latin for wool and the plant kingdom is our farm based naturally dyed yarn business. On our farm we raise alpaca and sheep and have been doing so for nearly twenty years. We gather our wool each spring after shearing for processing into our super soft and cozy yarns. Since our business has grown we also happily source wool from other regional farms. We also grow many dye plants on our farm and also do responsibly harvest plant material from nature. Our yarns come in an array of bright, natural colors. Our farm is open for visits and shopping by appointment and we appear throughout the year at many fiber art festivals and shows.

My goal is to create jewelry you’ll reach for again and again. When women approach me and tell me that my jewelry is what they wear every day, to me, that’s the highest compliment. In this age of ever changing and disposable fashion, I want to create pieces that will stand the test of time. Made from fine, recycled materials and ethically sourced gemstones. Pieces you’ll treasure, with a contemporary flair.
