Maine, Maine, Maine
November 20, 2009
John and I leave for Maine Monday morning and I’m ecstatic! I’m pulling out my winter scarves and packing the new glittens I snatched up at J.Crew last week. We’re filling our iPods with NPR podcasts (hours of This American Life archives—yippee!). John’s parents live practically on the Canadian border so we’ll be breaking up the trip north by staying at charming, little bed + breakfasts on the way there and back. I’m particularly excited for the historic Waldo Emerson Inn in Kennebunk. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s great-uncle once inhabited the home (the oldest in town) and there’s a quilt shop in the carriage house. I’m also eager to explore more of Portland. My fascination with the city began when I stumbled across the Flickr account of artist/creative director Maria Alexandra Vettese. Above and below, some of my favorite MAV images—talk about having an eye! I’ll be posting more about MAV’s artistic endeavors this weekend… Such an inspiration! XX Kate
