Paying a visit to the "home" of Rocky Mountain Antique Quilts is truly like visiting behind the…read morescenes of the Americana Collection at the Smithsonian Museum, with often brilliantly colored quilts at your literal finger-tips even though most seem to be well over 100 years old and actually to 200 years and quite possibly beyond. They are not secured behind locked glass as one might expect but, instead, are directly out in the open and very touchable. Therefore, realizing this, it is no surprise that a visitor is first directed to a hand-washing station and even requested to wear gloves before handling any of the quilts. The presence of fast-food ketchup and grease and the like on even well-meaning strangers coming in the door must be presumed and guarded against -- just like "behind the scenes" at The Smithsonian. My and my wife's experience was the same on our first visit, and on just scanning the magnificence of the collected quilts, we quickly and fully understood. As to the quality and the variety of the quilts available for viewing and sale, they are simply remarkable -- as is readily seen by the quilts offered on the website. The owner "Betsey" is a fount of knowledge who "sells" with truly verifiable facts and not just "creative writing" as do so many. I can personally attest to the precise accuracy of the descriptions and representations having both been physically a "guest visitor" / shopper on-site as well as over the years having purchased at least -10- quilts, all over 100 years old and most 150 years old, and more. EVERY one of the quilts requested arrived in a condition and with qualities actually better than described. She is also immediately responsive even to general inquiry, such as when recently I really needed technical assistance cataloguing and identifying with particularity -- especially regarding pattern variations -- as well as dating the ones in my wife's antique quilts collection. In short, I both recommend "Betsey" and her Rocky Mountain Antique Quilts absolutely, without hesitation or reservation, as the quilts offered have always been truly exceptional, AND I endorse their up-front directing visitors to a hand-washing station to protect the integrity of such rarified goods for both the visitor and all those interested in the same quilt[s] that follow.

Betsey Telford-Goodwin's Rocky Mountain Quilts shop houses a stunning collection of antique quilts…read moreand unequaled source of vintage fabrics with which she and her staff meticulously restore old quilts. Put her shop in her antique house in old York, Maine, on your destination list! Learn about quilts in her shop. She is an appraiser of antique quilts which she will do on-line or in her shop. On the spot, Betsey can expertly explain the fabrics used, designs, colors, threads, and dyes, all the while giving you a sense of the sociology of the period of the piece and the circumstances of the quilter. She beautifully restored an 1850s quilt we have had for many years, giving it new life, and us a much better understanding of its probable history. I was so excited I brought four friends to Betsey for a morning's lecture on early American quilts that left us breathless with wonder about the designs, the variety, the loving care, the history and inherent humanity of each piece.

Our family enjoyed a morning visit to Ogunquit on July 6, 2026. The cool morning and partly cloudy…read moreskies were lovely. We arrived at 8:15am with plenty of parking available at Obed's Lot ($6.25 per hour), which is near the north entrance to Marginal Way (opposite end from Perkins Cove). After crossing the busy street (Shore Road) and turning right, it's a short walk (3 minutes) slightly uphill before you see the north entrance to the Marginal Way on your left (check Google Maps). For those planning a morning visit to Ogunquit, I had two tips. First, try to arrive no later than 9am during peak summer months. At 8:15am, we had a peaceful experience with some people but not huge crowds. By 9:30am, we saw many groups of visitors walking on the trail. Second, go to a public restroom BEFORE walking on the Marginal Way - which does not have a restroom facility (until Perkins Cove). Finally, dogs are prohibited from the Marginal Way during the summer (April 1 to Sept 30) with a $100 fine for violators. Overall, it's well worth a visit - but expect to see lots of people during the summer!

"Your disguise can't hide all the features Of marginal…read morecreatures at best" (Little Feat) While we were exploring coastal Maine, we kept hearing rave reviews about Ogunquit--and especially the Marginal Way. So, on our drive home, we made a little detour and stopped in to see what all the fuss was about. Ogunquit was packed with tourists. A friendly police officer directed us to a parking lot near town hall, so all we needed next was to find the Marginal Way. That wasn't easy to do, because whatever on-line addresses we found for the entrance didn't work out. A friendly passerby gave us solid directions, and we soon found a small entrance sign. So, what on earth is the Marginal Way and where did that bizarre name come from? Well, it owes its existence to a remarkably generous donation. Back in 1925, Josiah Chase, Jr. donated a strip of oceanfront land to Ogunquit, kick starting what would become one of Maine's most beloved seaside strolls- a 1.25 mile cliff hugging path with some serious Maine-like scenery. Think of crashing waves, beach flowers, rocky cliffs, and even a lighthouse. We loved our scenic stroll along the flat wide paved path. I did see some more adventurous souls climb down toward the water, picking up rocks, setting up tripods for photo shoots, or filming Tik-Toks or Instagrams videos for "likes". One more thing: why is it called the "Marginal Way"? The name refers to its location on the margin between land and sea.

We interviewed and toured a lot of daycare centers before bringing our newborn to DCEC. This school…read moreis by far the BEST! I second every kind thing throughout these reviews. From being able to watch your child while you're at work to the hand written notes that they leave about your child's day, to the incident reports to see how something was handled; they're INCREDIBLE. I email the staff at least once a week with a question or a food substitute for our son and receive an immediate response. Everyone who works there treats you with kindness and respect and you really feel like your child is part of a little family and our son truly loves his teachers! I would recommend this daycare without hesitation to ANYONE!

The negative post made earlier this week is truly upsetting, as someone who has two children that…read moreare and have gone through this center - and have loved every second of it. From eight weeks old, to five years old, my daughter thrived at Discovery. The same teachers that she had, my son now has. The daycare is as clean as any daycare is going to be. I can tell you, it is more sanitary than my house, with two kids, at the end of a (week) end day with them. SO, how they keep it as clean as they do, with more than two kids in each room - is truly something. As for potty training - I actually give them credit for potty training my kids. My husband always say, "we got lucky!" but really, the teachers did it for us. Positive reinforcement, continual reminders, sticker charts - they did it all to make sure their potty days were successful ones. The staff is hands down the best, and so many have been there for so long. Most who are Moms, also have their kids there in other rooms. That speaks volumes to me. IN addition to that - there are several who have left for college, and come back for summers, or who leave hoping to make more money (because everyone knows how underpaid child education is) and then come back! Everyday, we get a print out and a hand written note about what our kids did that day, if they were happy/sad/sensitive, what they played with, etc. They spend so much time outside, that at tub time every night, we could make our own sandbox :-) In the bigger room, just before Kindergarten, they spend less time outside, but that is because they are preparing them for what lies ahead in Kindergarten! At my daughter's first parent/teacher meeting in Kindergarten - we were told that she is excelling, and far above where she is expected to be at this point, one month into the school year!! Could not be more proud, and owe that thanks to Discovery. Any concern, though there be few, are always thoughtfully addressed by the owner and the staff. The comments that the ratio of children to teachers is high depends on what your opinion is, really. The state has regulations - and they have as many kids as possible to teachers, in order to run a profitable business. Otherwise, why run the business? Discovery - you keep doing you. I'd send my kids there again in a heartbeat, and hope that the "one person who is saved" by the negative post from earlier (jeesh) reads *this* post - and realizes that from a MOTHER, (not a disgruntled employee) you'd be doing your kids, and yourself a favor - to send them to such a great school.
