Chart Story from Michelle S., Longmont, CO

We make a lot of jewelry here at Chart that honors Mother's and their relationships to their families and special places, but we wanted to share this story because it really touched our hearts.

" Pulpit Harbor is one of many beautiful places that my family has visited on our sailboat- Seaglass. As young kids, my parents showed us what true family vacations were, on our then, small sailboat going from island to island on the coast of Maine. As an adult, my ideal summer vacation is still traveling back to Maine to sail with my parents out of Rockland Harbor. Even though I love my landlocked home of Colorado, Maine is my dream place; the place I escape to in real life and in my mind.

The Captain of Seaglass, my dad, called me often from the helm of his boat. I'd request water splashing over the phone line and he always obliged though jokingly protesting that he'd fall in. I loved being his first mate on their boat.

My dad died from a brain tumor in August of 09' at the young and otherwise healthy age of 67. We've since sold the boat and my mother, and east coaster through and through, has decided to move to Colorado to be close to us. Since we have wonderful memories of sailing to Pulpit Harbor and we scattered my dad's ashes there, I felt that my mom needed a little piece of Pulpit Harbor to wear once she becomes a western girl. I know she will love it. Thank you so much for this one of a kind piece"

Chart Story from Joyce M., Peterborough, NH

Precious memories of Winter Harbor, Maine...

"I spent the first three years of my life as a resident of Winter Harbor, my grandparents lived right across the road. After moving away and as soon as school was out, I would spend the entire summer in Winter Harbor with them, until I graduated from high school. For as far back as I can remember, my grandfather was a lobster fisherman in Winter Harbor and we often hauled traps in his boat; traps we had made together in the barn.

My family, all 40 of us, have been back to Winter Harbor for a family reunion the last 58 years. I haven't missed one year!

This key chain reminds me to be thankful for my heritage and for the precious memories of Winter Harbor, Maine."

Thanks Joyce for sharing your special story!

Chart Story from Audrey M., Sprite Island, CT

Remembering special places is a wonderful way to celebrate a wedding anniversary:

I ordered cuff links for my husband. I wanted to capture two special places. The first area is Sprite Island in Norwalk Harbor. This is where my husband proposed to me on November 17th, 1995. The second area is Harbour Court in Newport RI. It is located in Breton Cove in Newport Harbor. This is where we had our wedding reception. We chose Newport because this is where we first met and fell in love. I thought these would be the perfect anniversary present.

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Audrey.

Chart Story from Patricia K., Freeport, ME

Honoring a father's special memories:

My dad owns what is called "The Red Camp" in Aroostook County, with several other men. They go twice a year, spring fishing and fall hunting. I have never been since no girls are allowed. I am sure they have a wonderful time but I don't have any memories to share. Yet , it remains a special place for my father. I look forward to giving it to my dad for Father's Day.

Thanks for sharing your story Patricia! We hope your dad loved his belt buckle!

Chart Story from Mark B., Steve's Island, ME

How one couple charted their life together:

In 2001, my girlfriend and I were members of the Maine Island Trail Association. We charted several weekend kayak trips. We would pack 2 -3 days of supplies and paddle from island to island. One weekend we found a quiet tent site, with a outcropping of rocks shaped like a sleeping dog. We enjoyed watching early summer sunsets, and walking on our private white crushed-shell beach. We listened to the waves crashing and an occasional exhale from a passing porpoise. It was just the two of us and the sun dipping somewhere between Isle au Haux and Vinalhaven. It came naturally to me as the perfect time to pop the question. Fortunately, she said yes and we were married one year later on Georgetown Island and had our first child the following year. We have not returned to our island since our engagement, but it is a special place that is dear to both of us. This gift will help both of us remember the night we looked into each others eyes and charted a life together.

Thank you Mark, for sharing your romantic story.

Chart Story From Jehanne E., From Severn Heights, MD

There is no place like home.

My daughter loved her key chain. She "got it" immediately. It was a chart of where our house is- so she looked at it for a while and said, "Is this home?". And I said, "Yes, now that you are graduated and 'leaving home' you'll always be able to find your way back." It was really good!

Another great gift idea! A Chart piece is the perfect way to keep memories close, regardless of how far away you are. Thanks for sharing your story Jehanne!
