And suddenly, it’s fall. The boat is hauled. Wood is stacked. The days are shorter. And the landscape explodes in living color.
After successful showings the last two years, we are pleased to announce our third annual Ali & Bird Jewelry Trunk Show!
For the last three years, we have organized a daffodil sale to benefit the Blue Hill Tree of Life Food Pantry. Last year when the proceeds were tallied, everyone’s generosity resulted in a total of $2,500.00!
Without the benefit of hindsight and the wisdom it provides, we’re not very well prepared to meet the challenges of the future are we? After all, a little help from the past is a good thing.
With 2020 almost in the rearview mirror, we’re all looking forward to better times ahead!
Let our Tartan Centerpiece take center stage on your holiday table. The perfect complement for your holiday décor. And the perfect holiday gift arriving at just the right time!
It’s only the ninth of December, but the window for shipping wreaths and holiday gifts is closing fast. There’s still time, but don’t tarry!
We’re getting close! Don’t miss out. Now’s the time to visit our wreath shop, make a selection, and place your order for delivery in time for the holidays.

Today is the day everyone gets serious about selecting gifts for the forthcoming holidays. And, if I do say so myself, there are no better holiday gifts than fresh balsam wreaths from The Meadow!
As our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving, I am reminded of the words of Noel Paul Stookey. I can think of no better way to express the need to be mindful of the many gifts in our lives and the need to extend a helping hand.
Could it be? Yes it could. Santa’s coming, something good! (With apologies to Stephen Sondheim.) Our Santa wreath is one of my favorites! See for yourself:
Beginning in 1986, when I opened my first shop in the little pink house in Cincinnati, I’ve had a Christmas Open House to herald the arrival of the holiday season. That first one was memorable.
There’s my sweet David at his winter post, colorfully outfitted in full “wreath regalia,” readying the first wreath of the 2020 season. Tah dah!
Let’s remember that we owe a debt of gratitude to US Postal Service workers everywhere who did what needed to be done under great pressure, and saw to it that the mail arrived where it needed to be in a timely manner!
While out walking in the fields recently, I came upon this one last tree with most of its leaves still in place. The last leaves of fall....
Isn’t he a handsome fella?! I’ve added new Christmas wreath designs this season including this Red Cardinal Wreath.
It might as well be spring. Maybe somewhere, but not hereabouts. We awoke yesterday to an unexpected sight – a white frosting on the landscape, not a footprint anywhere, pristine and beautiful. And cold. Winter has arrived.
The big news in our life is that David and I are buying a piece of property in Surry, Maine where we will build a log home in the middle of the woods! Excited much?
Last Saturday, on a glorious fall day in Blue Hill, Maine, we participated in the wedding of good friends. All weddings are beautiful. But this one was in a class by itself.
It happens every year, yet it always catches me by surprise. Summer ends and Fall begins, right before your very eyes. Nature in her coat of many colors.
We have assembled a wonderful range of products including lamps, baskets, throws and blankets, trays, handbags, bookends, pillows and more.
In 1986, on my first date with David who eventually became my husband, he saw a wreath in my house that I had made and thought it was exceptional….
