The Year in Color …. so far
August Collection
August arrived with the colors of high summer, but with that first quiet awareness that the season wouldn’t last forever. Kye and Island Time were filled with water, light and the brilliant blue-greens of island summer, while Holding Summer captured that late-August impulse to gather up every last bit of the season before it slips away.
Kye
A luminous turquoise blue-green inspired years ago by a girl with turquoise hair and brought back for another summer. Bright, playful and full of water and light, Kye simply belongs to summer.
Island Time
Turquoise and sea green with unexpected flashes of red and purple that shift as the light changes. Island Time captures something wonderfully elusive about island summers: they never look quite the same twice.
Holding Summer
Layers of aqua, black cherry and transparent turquoise come together in a color made for the waning days of August. Holding Summer is about not being quite ready to stop collecting everything the season still has to give.
July Collection
July felt like summer settling fully into itself: saturated color, bare feet, long light and the lushness of everything growing. The month moved from the exuberance of Abundance and the cool blues of Barefoot in Blue, through the warm orange glow of Joy, before ending in the rich greens and golds of Gilded Moss. Four very different colors, but together they made a palette that felt unmistakably July.
Abundance
A celebration of summer at its fullest, when gardens, fields and days all seem to be overflowing. A color about noticing just how much there is.
Barefoot in Blue
Cool, easy blues made for the part of summer lived with shoes abandoned by the door. A little bit water, a little bit sky, and entirely July.
Joy
Warm orange illuminated by flashes of gold, Joy was exactly what its name promised. Bright, buoyant and impossible to overlook.
Gilded Moss
A favorite returned in July, bringing together earthy mossy greens with glimmers of gold. Gilded Moss feels like the forest floor catching late-afternoon light.
June Collection
June always feels like the month when everything begins to open. Doors stay open a little longer, conversations spill onto porches and sidewalks, and the days stretch just enough that there always seems to be time for one more walk, one more visit, or one more sunset by the water.
This month's collection follows that same rhythm.
Color Out Loud began the month as a celebration of creativity with purpose. Color has the power to bring people together, spark conversation, and support causes that matter. Beauty becomes something shared.
Silver Tide captured the shimmer of sunlight dancing across the bay, while Ocean Whisper offered a quieter moment, inspired by the subtle beauty of sea, sky, and changing light.
Blue on Blue reflected the point in the season when summer begins to simplify everything. Days become shaped by the weather, the tides, and the irresistible pull of spending more time outdoors. Blue seems to appear everywhere, from the morning sky to the evening horizon.
With Bottlegreen, attention shifted inland. Rich woodland greens, weathered glass, moss-covered stone, and the quiet places beneath the trees offered a different kind of summer beauty, one that is every bit as much a part of Maine as the coastline itself.
The month concluded with Belfast Blue, inspired by one of the highlights of every summer: Belfast Arts in the Park. A weekend filled with handmade work, thoughtful conversations, familiar faces, and the simple joy of gathering around art made it the perfect way to close the collection.
Taken together, these six colors tell the story of June in Maine. Purpose gives way to sparkling water, quiet moments, endless blue skies, deep green woods, and finally a celebration of community, creativity, and the places that continue to inspire each new piece of jewelry.
May Collection
By May, the island had fully stretched awake. Gardens started pushing upward, the light turned softer and longer, and days began filling with the familiar energy of boats returning, trails greening up, and windows finally opening again. Music, Quarry Reflection, Forget-Me-Not, and Apricot Dawn each captured a different feeling of the season, from cool quarry blues and quiet spring florals to warm glowing color touched by the early promise of summer.
A collection shaped by movement, memory, light, and the joyful return of color everywhere you look.
April Collection
April arrived with all its usual personality changes. Foggy mornings, sudden warm afternoons, bright harbor light, muddy boots, and the unmistakable feeling that the island was waking back up again.
Hello Spring, Blue Granite, April Light, Almost Summer, and Alchemy each held a different piece of the season, from cool coastal blues and soft shifting light to warmer colors hinting at longer days ahead. A month full of change, color, and that restless spring energy that makes everything feel possible again.
March Collection
March felt beautifully undecided this year. One day smelled like spruce and cold salt air, the next hinted at mud season, longer evenings, and the possibility of spring.
Morning Spruce, Cold Harbor, Gone South, and Returning Light followed that shifting rhythm, moving from deep coastal greens and icy blues into brighter, more luminous color. Together, the collection captured the feeling of standing between seasons while the island slowly tilted back toward the sun.
February Collection
February had a little bit of everything around here. Pale mornings, icy sparkle on the harbor, longer stretches of light, and those small hints that winter is slowly loosening its grip.
Quiet Blush, Starwater, Falling Light, and Burnished each captured a different piece of the month, moving from soft and dreamy to bright shimmer and finally into richer, warmer tones. A small collection of color stories shaped by island days, changing light, and life on the coast of Maine.
