I followed the articles in the local papers about the evolution of FOUND, a shop that is the vision of FOUNDer 🙂 
Pamela Bennett. Pamela wanted to showcase the talents of Maine women (and some men!) who create from the heart and give them a venue in which to make their products available to people who might not otherwise find them.
For example, Amy Rose of Amy Rose Made in Maine makes lovely jewelry. One of my favorite pieces is her silver charm of the state of Maine on a silver chain. Find it at FOUND, as well as at her ETSY shop: Amy Rose Made in Maine. Below in the slideshow are some photos of her products.
Also, Jeanne Emerson has some of her designs at FOUND. This is her process (paraphrased from her website): Eco-printing, sometimes known as botanical printing, uses the natural dyes in flowers, leaves and other natural materials to produce one of kind, magical and beautiful designs on paper and fabrics. Check out the slideshow below to see her scarves and cards.
FOUND also has books! Kathy Eliscu’s wonderful book is there, Not Even Dark Chocolate can Fix This Mess! Kathy’s book is about Tink, a woman in midlife who is so busy saying ‘yes!’ to everyone else that she starts to lose track of herself. She becomes overwhelmed, and then makes a mistake that turns into a big (you guessed it!) mess. Once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down!
My book, One Brave Thing, is also at FOUND. Bebe wants to get married some day but keeps picking guys that are wrong for her. She learns from her mistakes, however, and in the process, learns how to stand up for herself and trust her gut about how to live her life.
Find signed copies of both books at FOUND!
I have given you just a small sampling of the amazing gifts at this great shop. Have some Christmas shopping left to do? Stop in at FOUND in Kennebunk, Maine! You will be able to find a beautiful gift for everyone on your list.
You’re welcome!

Right? Sometimes we have to think ‘out of the box’ when we are marketing our wares. 🙂 and yes, I have a little makeup bag designed by Jeannie and it’s GORGEOUS!~
Never would have occurred to me that boutiques like this might sell books as well. So smart to place your book here, I hope it boosts sales. Also, thank you for the intro to Jeanne Emerson’s work–my goodness, so gorgeous!
