We often are asked why we believe in doing business in Maine. The reasons are many. Besides being one of the greatest places ever to live, we love that this is a place where we know our neighbors. We can collaborate and help and be helped. So when Tourism shared that Maine was sponsoring a fashion show during NY Fashion Week we were eager to participate!

The designer, Indashio produced a line inspired by Maine. How forward thinking our State is to take part in this. So for us, to be a gift bag was fun. And there started a domino effect. Soon we were speaking with Thos. Moser to bring their scrap leather from their amazing furniture into our bags. We heard Cold River Vodka was participating and loved to bring in the Maine Summers Cookbook -- bookmarked to a great fresh berry martini recipe of course! Tourism added the blueberries and then Coastal Maine Popcorn Co. and chocolate to the mix.

The result looked like a fun night and the benefits much further than NY.
