Caring, kind, powerful, generous, creative, and the most supportive ‘employee’ I could ever have asked for.

Without having described the full job role in words- she stepped in, opened her heart and arms to this community, and shared in this reality of holding stranger’s stories, experiences, grief and joy over a coffee order or through hosting the writer’s group with her sister Logan.
Yes, many of our customers have poured their lives out to us - purely a testament to the safety in the space held for them - a place to show up exactly as they are for a cup of coffee, community, or a quick chat. We often joke- but there are truly tears shed daily here- in joy and pain, coincidences, and death. Hannah is right there to hug, or hold a hand, and to affirm the expanse of the human experience- and that is not something that I could have vetted in a job interview.

Thank you for everything!

Between the Lines Writer’s group- ❤️
The first group held in this space.
Supported and lead by Logan and Hannah.
We are writers! Claim the title!
journalling enthusiasts, novelists, published, soon-to- be published, poets, and songwriters…
A prompt to start a path to wind words down - creativity in motion.
Serendipitous connection.
Trust, a testament to the ritual of gathering.
The books that lined our local author shelf.
The laugher and tears.
The monthly open mic where words left the page to grace the air.
This group will be living on and I am forever grateful for Logan and Hannah’s dedication rooted in devotion to their craft.
We love you all! ❤️✨

Oh our dear knitters and fiber makers! Words may fail me here.
We were so grateful when Corinne came in one day and said- “instead of Wednesday could we do Sunday?!” And it was hoppin’ from then on!
You have kept our hearts so warm and weaved a web of friendship, hope and light. We feel so lucky to be a witness to your revolutionary art. Your creations are extraordinary and the skill and talent that is then shared so graciously with your friends and loved ones.. ooph. Pure love. So excited to know this group will live on beyond these walls- so goodbye for now. And truly- thank you.

One of the first items on the shelf! 😊
Perfect rope baskets for filling with the most practical of items or the most loved trinkets. We’re so grateful for our neighbor Cheri’s support over the past year and all the knowledge she’s shared about her craft.
Her grounded kindness overflows and she’s always willing to teach and share her skill with others.
Be sure to give her a follow!

I was very unsure about wanting to scoop and sell ice cream a year ago.
I had never had Morton’s Moos in Ellsworth and John ( )assured me it was SO good - Chocolate Oreo the best.
With the first few orders- all hesitation fell away as big smiles erupted on faces of all ages. A delicious treat that has been enjoyed all year long, especially every time the sun came out a bit. A little hope of gentler weather ahead.

The ice cream is delicious and it’s made right in downtown Ellsworth. We’ve absolutely loved working with them and can’t recommend them enough!

Go check them out!

When a poet raises goats and more in the woods, down a winding drive opening to the sweetest farm stand, getting delicious goodies is not just a treat but an experience. .
If you haven’t been to farmstand and the wonderful Moo’s Corner we highly recommend you make the trip.
We love Lisa’s yogurt, cannoli filling, cheesecake jars and cheese- nothing we don’t like actually!
Beyond these offerings, Lisa’s poetry and presence has inspired us all at open mics and the writer’s group and we’re so grateful for her support.

Yogurt can be found and through
