Raegan GB of sew goony here! 
I showcase 1 of 1, upcycled, handmade, slow fashion pieces. I rescue textiles from thrift stores and quilters’ scrap fabric stashes and turn them into something new! In addition to sewing, I love cooking, peonies, listening to and making music, fishkeeping, and dangly earrings. In 2021, I picked up my favorite childhood hobby, sewing, for the first time since high school. Once again I was hooked on sewing and sew goony became a part-time gig while I worked as a teacher. This spring, I decided to pursue my dream of small business ownership full-time. I find so much joy in breathing life into an old quilt or long-forgotten t-shirt. I even go as far as using my own scraps (from scraps) to make items like cat toys and hair scrunchies! I have a lot of fun doing what I do—I can’t wait to meet you all and share what I love!

Hi guys! My name is Jai and I own Indigo Moon Crochet! I turned my hobby into a business when I realized how important it was to introduce quality and sustainable products to the market. I started looking into ways to be more eco-friendly and ran into crocheting things like dish cloths and hand towels, and it just took off from there. I fell in love with making clothing, accessories, and home decor. I picked up a hook in july of 2023 and have crocheted every day since. Seeing my products on beautiful people when out in public brings a special sense of pride and meaning to what I do!

I founded Frolic Maine with a vision to create meaningful, beautiful, and deeply personal jewelry. Drawing inspiration from nature both light and dark, along with a sprinkle of whimsy, I aim to craft pieces that resonate with the soul.
My passion for jewelry, particularly earrings, has always been strong. However, a severe metal allergy prevented me from wearing them. This challenge fueled my desire to design a collection that caters not only to my needs but also to those with sensitivities.
Every earring, be it a dangle or a stud, features metal-free hooks. This ensures that even the most sensitive individuals can enjoy our pieces without discomfort.
Pieces are hand-painted and made with various kinds of wood like cherry, walnut, and maple.

Jenni here✨owner/creator of Stay Gold Collective: the place where all my hobbies collide.
Stained glass is my main love, but you’ll also find some hand poured candles, funky repurposed planters, sea glass jewelry, and more!
In November of 2023, we welcomed our beautiful daughter into this world so crafting went on the back burner, but now I’m back and better than ever, baby!
See you all soon 😎

Hello I’m Kai! I started ADHD Collective to enrich my relationship with plants and people. ADHD Collective is a sort of play on words as I like to say, I’m the ADHD in my little collective, and I enjoy harnessing my energy to create art with plants.
With my work I aim to offer unique, seasonal botanical art, cultivate open conversations about our environmental and mental health, and to share my knowledge and love for botany.
As an ethnobotanist, I value eco-consciously foraging for all of the plants preserved in my art. This process includes harvesting small amounts of botanical matter at a time, only when a population is abundant. I harvest from various forests and gardens in Maine, sometimes my own yard (:

Hi! I’m Brooke, of BrookeTrout Designs. I’ve been making jewelry since I was 9 years old-yes, that’s more than 30 years! When I’m not making jewelry, I’m a full time French teacher 🙂 I enjoy making jewelry that is fun, silly and unique. I love when people stop by my booth and giggle at my funny earring designs. I don’t only make fun “teacher” type earrings, though. I gravitate towards natural materials like wood and semi precious stones, and I love nature inspired designs. I’m a die-hard Mainer, I love pine trees, plaid, and the ocean. I live in Bangor with my husband, my 2 daughters and my two cats.

Hey! I’m Landen, I run a Depop page (landojunes) and have been buying and selling thrifted clothes and shoes for 3 years now. I started thrifting mainly as a hobby and eventually found myself with a few too many clothes which lead me to start selling some of my finds. My favorite part about thrifting is that at any time you can find that one piece you’ve been looking for or a piece you never knew you were looking for.

Greetings, I’m Erika Rae.
Let me tell you a bit about me and how I started finding my happy place. In 2009 I
started Whole Hearted Goods with a few simple, handmade body products. With my best
dog by my side, I sourced much of my creativity and inspiration from our hikes
together in the Maine woods. Focusing on small-batch, simple, and quality
ingredients has always been very important to me. My artistic journey led me to
introduce handmade jewelry, curiosities, and other eclectic goods to my collection.
During this time, I worked several years at Sign of the Sun, and wanted to carry on
the store’s legacy after its closing in the summer of 2020. From that time onwards, I
have been offering ethically sourced Sterling Silver jewelry, tapestries, perfume
oils, and incense at Pink Crow Collective. Which is still located in the same beloved
downtown Waterville building, with the same yellow awnings, and the same smell when
you walk through the doors.
All the goods I offer are made with love and good intentions. Join me on this
adventure and keep spreading kindness wherever you go.

Hi, I’m Becki 🖤
At you’ll find a variety of wearable and collectible vintage essentials at all price points.
With an affinity for jewelry, you’ll find gems from all decades and in all styles.
I have always been deeply inspired by fashion and the way we wear our clothing and adornments.
Shopping vintage is a beautiful act of individual self expression.
I see beauty in function and practicality.
I see beauty in form and textiles.
I see beauty in the use of color and prints.
I see beauty in sustainability.
I see beauty in individuality.
That means I love curating seasonal vintage collections that have a little bit of everything for everyone.
I hope you’ll stop by the Modern Market on October 28th so you can add a special ‘forever’ piece of vintage beauty to your wardrobe / collection.
“All is pretty.” -Andy Warhol

My inspiration and motivation while making jewelry has always been to make one feel even more beautiful and help express themselves. My creations include jewelry of all sorts. I have so much fun finding my materials which include a lot of antique fixtures like watch heads, nostalgic pieces, fresh water pearls, crystals, cool lamp-worked beads and so much more! I also enjoy customizing things with resin like phone cases, lighters and more! I enjoy printing on secondhand clothing as well as collecting stylish pieces! A little bit of it all to be quite honest 😅handmade with love and intention always!

We are a mother daughter business that started up back in 2021. It started with our love of collecting items that nature had to offer, which was mostly rocks but ocean treasures as well! The love of the rocks and other treasures that we have here in Maine turned into a love of minerals across the world! We have a couple of really close friends that help us source our products that are not found here locally. The stones that you find in the bottom of the terrariums we make are from Mount Mice that we collected ourselves. So if you were to look through the material you may even find Maine Tourmaline! All the sand dollars and sea glass was found by us during our adventures exploring Maine beaches and other coastal areas.
