If I could find the words to define Stonefish, I would write paragraphs here, but for now I can only say that Stonefish is a "collection of stories" masquerading as a shop.

Port Clyde, Maine, our location, is a very Thornton Wilder kind of place. Like Grover's Corner, the stories found here, both past, present, and probably future, are universal. With the items we sell, both new and old, I create vignettes throughout the four rooms of the shop that are intended to evoke the timeless tales of this village by the sea.

On a given day you might come upon Joseph Purdy's study filled with the natural curiosities that he has brought back from his voyages abroad. Perhaps you'll get a glimpse of Emma Wright's parlor featuring the rug she hooked from her children's outgrown clothing. You may find in your mind's eye a completely new story.

I hope as you wander through this website that you catch a glimpse of what Stonefish is about. Better yet, I hope that this site inspires you to come visit.

It's been nice chatting with you.
