The Richest Part Of The World SparHawk Mint Green Teal Maine Tourmaline

Just twenty-eight miles north of our Portland store, on the banks of the Little Androscoggin, beneath a meadow, lies the richest part of the worldâ&#x20AC;Śgems. Gem tourmaline has been found: tourmaline the color of spring and the color of the sky, two distinct colors commingled in a single crystal.

From these crystals, our gem cutter Sean Sweeney has coaxed out their true light and life, creating a gem and a unity of color we call SparHawk Mint Green Teal. This is the color of life; color that moves with swiftness of thought; color that sweeps, darts, and soars; color so precise, so graceful that once chosen it alights upon your hand or nestles safely near your heart.

We are privileged to have the opportunity to offer the new SparHawk Mint Green Teal tourmaline in fine jewelry to the residents of Maine and New England.

By re-arranging the raw elements of growth, desolate seas of asphalt become inviting, public spaces. A re-imagined Top of the Old Port pulsates with activity. Benches, flower beds, and fountains allow visitors to relax and give children a place to play. Shady trees cater to peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bibliophilia. This design reinforces the continuity of an otherwise unbroken plan in the design of the street, while mixed-use buildings frame the scene and provide a constant flow of foot traffic.

You say you want an evolution? As future Portland cityscapes spring to life, so will the design of our New England city morph into “outdoor rooms” that will allow us to see and be seen.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

To enliven Forest Avenue, a multi-way boulevard incorporates urbanist principles. Central travel lanes accommodate faster traffic and are flanked by one-way, tree-lined access-ways for local businesses. Medians punctuate the otherwise constant onslaught of traffic and provide refuge for public transit riders. With wide sidewalks hugged by local shops and restaurants on either side of the street, Forest Avenue facilitates travel by all modes. It becomes a destination rather than merely a route.

Building on its strong urban history and convenient location, Woodfords Corner becomes the center of a bustling neighborhood. Covered sidewalk cafés allow al-fresco dining rain or shine, and a nearby theater generates constant foot-traffic after dark. The broadened sidewalk accommodates increased pedestrian travel demands.

Ashley Lauren Kerr’s SCALA ‘Jessica’ design is named after her best friend, Jessica Rafalowski, Miss Florida USA 2008. $900.

Mainers will know Kerr from her father’s restaurant, Surf 6, on Old Orchard Beach. Also, “my great uncle was Nicholas Danton, Chief Judge of Maine District Court (1974-1981),” says Kerr, “and my dad was a State Legislator from ’90 until ’98. Currently, he works with Gov. LePage on the bipartisan budget committee.”

Ducktrap’s natural smoked flavor starts here.

Native woods from Maine make all the difference.

We use only hardwoods from small woodlots and fruitwood prunings from local orchards.

We age, split, and chip the wood right at our smokehouse on the Maine Coast. Then we smoke the seafood in small batches, the old-fashioned way, using only all-natural ingredients. You’ll love the superior taste and quality of Ducktrap. Guaranteed.
