    I've always loved books and reading. A former teacher of American literature and world drama, I offer vintage books and memorabilia to those who share my love of Americana. And as a native Mainer, I enjoy adding a bit of Down East flavor to my shop.

    When not busy in my own shops, I'm happily playing Gal Friday to Joe's Prospero. I've tried my hand at many things over the years, before finding my true home here in Maine and learning to treasure the beauty of the old ways and the simple things.
