The Great Races



This is the oldest day-sailing Windjammer Schooner.
At 91 years old she is harbored in Camden Maine.
She is also on the Historic Registry!!!


For me.....
I have been drawn to sailing and riding all my life.
Horses & Great Sailing Ships
have always taken my breath away.


Here in Maine there is much of both!
I look forward to attending horse shows here.
Maybe I will give 'UP & DOWN' horse back riding lessons 
for the timid
and the emotionally challenged.
I could do that!!


I plan on sailing as well,
and getting a small sailing dinghy like the one below.
That is what I learned on when I was 8 years old.


It's not fancy but it will take me to where I want to go.
Away
and alone with nothing but the sound of wind and the sea lapping against the boat.
I could even sail to one of the thousands of tiny islands around the coast of Maine.


Every week there is another sailing race for the 2 & 3 masted schooners.


I am still 'DOWN EAST' { in Maine }
it is paradise with it's mountains, meadows, rivers, lakes and of course the magnificent ocean.

Below there is a video to watch if you are interested.
It will show you how crazy crowded it gets when there is a sailing event here.
Normally....
it is not that maddening here.


You can watch this video taken in Boothbay Harbor

I send all my blogging buddies my love.
It has been a journey up here with my MOM.
But she is starting to recover.

Fried Clams in Port Clyde Maine


It was a rainy and cold day....
I am driving to my favorite spot.




Here we are in Port Clyde.
My favorite general store until 
'Linda Bean' bought it.
{of L.L.Bean Fame}
She has made some changes .....
and who really likes anyone messing with history.


My mom is in that champagne Subaru.
This is Subaru country.


Maine is beautiful even on dreary days.
BTW
This is the place you catch the ferry to go to Mohegan Island.



If it weren't rainy and cold....
we would be sitting here.




Another fantastic dining experience.
Fried Clams!!!

I can't wait to move up here.
I will be up here until July 3rd,
hopefully by them I will have a job and some idea of where I will live.

Pray for me!
please?
*cuz I am scared

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.

Private Paradise
