The Commons is a women-owned business in Eastport which opened in 2004 — on the Downeast Coast of Maine. Our Partners are known locally as “The Women of The Commons.” Our vision is offering Artful Living Creations and Experiences© through our Water Street Shop, our Online Shop, Year-Round Rental Suites, and Seaside Gallery. We are a proud part of Eastport’s Downtown Historic District and Working Waterfront.
As we celebrate the first year of our Online Shop, we thank Don Dunbar, of www.easternmaineimages.com, whose wonderful photography has brought beauty and magic to our site. Learn more about the beauty of Downeast Maine.
We have reached into each area of our site to create this Featured Collection inspired by and symbolizing the sea.
Maine-made pieces handcrafted to bring beauty and functionality into your kitchen. Enjoy!
We are pleased and proud to begin what will be a growing collection of Tribal Art created by Passamaquoddy Tribal artists.
