Thank you to all our patrons for visiting the website and checking on our show schedule. You will note that this year we are doing only two shows, taking a year off from the Common Ground Fair, but next year we will again be back at Common Ground.

Two years ago we made a decision to only represent ourselves in the showroom, and to not have regular shop hours. We now see customers by appointment, though you are always welcome to stop in if we are working. It is wise to call first so you won't waste a trip. The phone number is 1-877-56-bones.

The carvings are only available through us, either at the showroom (by appointment or chance), at our shows or by calling us on our toll free number. How often do you hear, "Our customers are very important to us"? We do value our customers and hope that these changes suit them as well as it has suited us.

The Directions Bar Harbor Show is often referred to as the most outstanding and successful, long-running show in Maine. In its 36rd year, it continues to be the premier exhibition for the members of the Maine Crafts Guild (formerly known as 'Directions").

Expect to see the usual very high standards of all of the Guild shows. This show is not only an important annual event for the residents and summer people of Mt. Desert Island, but also provides the visitors to the island a lovely diversion while they experience the beauty of Acadia National Park.

Over the last two years, the Maine Crafts Guild has expanded its shows to give the public further access throughout the state. We have heard positive things about this new show in Bar Harbor. It is located at the Atlantic Oceanside facility and will be held Friday- Aug. 19 from 5pm to 9pm, Saturday-Aug. 20 from 10am - 5 pm and Sunday- Aug. 21 from 10 am- 4 pm. August is a lovely time to visit Bar Harbor and if you are in the area, this show promises to be a 'don't miss' way to spend some time. Hope to see you there.

This is the most charming show we participate in. Located on a 1600 acre salt water farm in Wells, Maine, this event features 75 top quality artists and artisans. Annual jurying gives preference to people whose medium focuses on nature. We are now fortunate to have been designated 'tenured artists' for this show.

With live music, a light luncheon, a raffle of items donated by the participating craftspeople, and well maintained nature trails that lead down to the Webhannet River Estuary there is always plenty to do. The craft market itself is set in and around the historic Laudholm Farm. This show is a relaxing way to spend an early fall day.
