So, what's the story behind The Maine Attraction? It's a tale of gnomes, hammocks, Norway and wonderful family time. All set in the beautiful surroundings of Northern Maine.
Bailey Island is one of the places that holds great childhood memories for my dad - he lived in Northern Maine for a few years as a small child, and still keeps in touch with his old babysitter who lives in Brunswick. So, when we found a little vacation rental on the shore of Bailey Island, it seemed like the perfect place for a family vacation.
But this wasn't any ordinary vacation home with seashells, funky colored towels and beachballs - this place had character! It's owned by a fun Norwegian couple who are very proud of their ancestry. From the Norwegian flag overlooking the beach to the gnomes in the yard, this vacation home was clearly a safe haven for wandering Scandinavians.
My treasury is based on the fun time we had on Bailey Island. The cobblestone bridge, the Norwegian trinkets, the gnomes and otters - oh, how I love Maine.

I've always wanted to go to Maine, if nothing else than to try the lobster, which I've never had.
ReplyDeleteGnomes creep me out.
Beth, can I get the link to your etsy shop? I would love to look at all your scandinavian inspired trinkets! :)
ReplyDeleteLobster is the best thing about Maine. Fo sho. Gnomes are awesome. As long as they're not the ugly, long-legged kind.
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, my link is: faerygreen.etsy.com
Although, I don't have any Scandinavian trinkets - I just put together a group of fun items from other sellers - that's what a treasury is. (:
