A Vintage Down East Winter

These are a few of our favorite things: a look back at our first decade (or so) of vintage holiday covers.

By Brian Kevin


Departments

North by East

Christmas with children’s author Ryan T. Higgins’s grumpy bear, everything you’ve ever wanted to know about road salt, and a holiday rom-com set in southern Maine. Plus, runaway piglets and  a grocery-bagging champ in Maine Dispatches.

Food & Drink

Italian comfort food (and dancing!) at Ada’s Kitchen, a protein-rich salad for hearty winter appetites, the best Maine wines for your holiday table, and Kittery’s restaurant transplants.

Good Things from Maine

Clothing and toys for kids with cochlear implants from Co·amplify, shopping for gifts from nonprofits, and Christ-moose-time is here.

Maine Homes

A Belfast home brimming with art, curios, and color, and how some Maine style-setters deck their halls. Plus, three very different Victorian Christmases.
