Saturday, July 15: Seabird Aromatic Therapy, 11am-4pm
Seabird Aromatics is a skincare and body care line that is anchored in Aromatherapy. The maker behind the brand shares, "As an aromatherapist and formulator it is my mission to educate the community about what true holistic Aromatherapy is. I wanted to create products that nurture your body inside AND out. Every Seabird product is organic, natural, and therapeutic, thoughtfully composed using the ancient practice of Aromatherapy, designed and formulated to support you!"

Sunday, July 16: Holly Berry Prints, 11am-4pm
Holly is a self-taught printmaker, based in Portland, Maine. She shares, "It's a hobby I picked up a couple years ago while my kiddo was napping, that has now evolved into a bit of a passion. I’m inspired by vibrant colors, intricate line work, bold patterns, and flowers—which you’ll see a lot of in my prints. I love how versatile this art form is, you can churn prints out with a wooden spoon on your coffee table, or in a studio with a press. I fall somewhere in between, using a little press… on a coffee table. Each print varies slightly from the next, and is an original piece of art, handmade for you, from me — with love!"

We're excited to host local artist Claire Loon Baldwin for a pop-up tomorrow: Saturday, July 8 from 11am-4pm! Plus, Shut up N' eat it will be here at the Anderson x Fox Street corner driveway! Another fun Saturday ahead in East Bayside. See you here!

Claire Loon Baldwin is an illustrator, designer, and story teller inspired by the surreal, intricate beauty of nature. She shares, "Between 2012 and 2018, I worked in Glacier National Park, North Cascades National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and the redwoods of northern California. I worked as everything from a housekeeper to park ranger, and everywhere I went, my sketchbook came along. The biodiverse landscapes I explored, and self-discovery I experienced made me the artist I am today. In 2018, I created Grand Canyon National Park's official centennial poster series. Since then, I've worked with clients ranging from environmental education centers to oyster farms. My other creative endeavors include writing and illustrating a Young Adult novel reimagining Thumbelina, and making mushroom-inspired ceramic sculptures. I live in Brunswick, Maine."

“As a pastry chef and floral designer, I am well versed at making lovely fresh flower arrangements as well as delicious sweet treats. I especially love to combine these two passions, using flowers and herbs in my sweet desserts. But growing things? In the ground? Never my strong suit. Nevertheless, I was determined to grow something from the ground up that I could use in my baking endeavors…I was successful with quite a few herbs and was able to develop recipes for them, some of which I am including here. They are all simple recipes that provide a little unexpected savory punch to your typical sweet pastry,” writes in Grow, Bake, Learn. Read more and find the recipes in Issue 56::CULTIVATE.

A day to celebrate small businesses is our favorite kind of day! Join us and find something for everyone on your list, discover a new favorite maker, and learn more about the people and process behind the products and stories, too.

Our Taproot Goods collection was born out of our excitement to showcase the many creative, independent makers we've encountered over the years. It has grown as we continue to discover more and more folks whose work embodies the themes and values of our community and our magazine. A celebration of food, farm, family, and craft ~ find a little something beautiful and functional to brighten your home or gift to your favorite budding chef or gardener! Discover goods to help you creatively shift to a low-waste kitchen, and kits to teach lifelong skills from mending to cross-stitch, and so much in between. What a joy to bring these creations from the studio to our shelves, and into your hands.

In addition to "seeing" you in our online shop, it's been such a joy to welcome you back into our Taproot Market here in Portland, Maine! We will be open this Saturday (10 am-4 pm) and Sunday (11 am-4 pm) with in-person specials. This weekend we are hosting a local coffee cart Moonday Coffee to bring you warm and tasty beverages. Make a day of it, and support a whole array of small makers at once!

And most importantly, thank you for your support of this small business of ours ~ every purchase made in our market, every subscription, renewal, (and gift subscription too!) supports the work of countless writers, artists, illustrators, makers, thinkers, and designers whose work fills our pages and our market - and inspires us all.
