When my dear friend Nancy from learned that we needed baked goods for our state track meet concessions she baked 3 dozen choc chip blueberry cookies to donate. This dear soul does not have any kids in the Freeport schools! She just wanted to help. She sent along this beautiful original artwork to wish my daughter good luck! We got word late yesterday that the meet is cancelled today. Heartbreaking for the kids and our community. But, there are these delicious cookies and beautiful, generous, big hearted friends. Come and sample these yummy cookies at the shop today and please stop into Abacus too, let’s support beautiful people doing beautiful things. Love you Nancy. ❤️ ❤️

Come check out what’s in store and mark your calendar for a pop-up with Chelsea on July 11! thanks for introducing us!

I feel free and adventurous when it comes to decorating a home…trying this or that, the fluidity of changing things to meet moods and season. When it comes to making art, though I feel a resistance that I don’t quite understand. A dear friend encouraged me to play with watercolors and to try to recreate this card. Maybe it’s hard to just play? I’m embracing the seasons of my own life, leaning into the places I feel resistance to see what there is to learn. Cheers to growing. Thanks for challenging me, Julie.

I love to have my hands in soil. I love seeing the early green shoots of a spring garden, and lovingly tending something now with trust that the full bloom is coming. Building a business is like that. It starts with a dream, works some new muscles, requires commitment and patience. Humor, perseverance and some really great, supportive neighbors help too! Since I opened last summer, one of the most common requests I get is for plant pots! I’m excited to share Bergs Potter. Started in Copenhagen in the dark days of WW2 with the inspired pairing of fresh flowers + aged pottery and the desire to bring life and color to war-depressed neighbors. The design is sublime, the craftsmanship is simple and impeccable. Here are a few pics but come and check them out for yourself. The perfect Mother’s Day gift!

School vacation has been a time of connecting and exploring, time with friends old and new, getting inspired by nature, art, architecture and old homes. I’m so happy to be back in my shop doing what I love and sharing new pretties with you. Open 10-5 all weekend.

I have always loved creating meaningful, thoughtful gifts. Whether for a specific holiday or just because. I’m here to help you love on your people! Thanks for telling me about your dear ones, here are a few little bits of magic we’ve made together.

I love old doors. The lines, the crackly paint. Timeless strength and heaviness of wood. Knowing it opened countless times in welcome and closed in sadness or perhaps to carve a new path. Doors hold stories, are memory keepers. I love stories. Whether stories of vintage pieces I source for the shop or inspiring stories of artists and makers whose work I proudly feature. I love your stories too. Hearing about your loved ones and childhood memories, the stories of your lives today and dreams for tomorrow. Thank you for the supreme honor of sharing them with me. Your stories are weaving into the fabric of .freeport giving it life and a beating heart.

Embracing 2025 with intention and offering my inner creative room to expand into the still places. One thing I know for sure is that there is magic and treasure within each of us just waiting to be mined. I am giving myself permission to lean into my deepest reaches with curiosity and courage for what there is to discover. Just a reminder that we are closed for a restock and refresh- and a bit of travel for sourcing beautiful things to share in the coming months! I miss you and look forward to seeing you when I re-open on January 18th. Xo.

As I look out over the fog settling in this morning, I am filled with gratitude for all of you who have supported my small business this holiday and since I opened my doors in July. I hope the beautiful gifts you chose and special touches for your home and table made your holiday even more sweet and meaningful. Meeting you filled my heart and I look forward to sharing new memories and inspiration with you in 2025! .freeport will be open Sunday and Monday, 11-4 and then I will take a short break to paint, travel and source new things to share with all of you. Reopening 1/18. Happiest of New Year’s my friends!
