Shopper’s Diary: Sugar Tools in Camden, Maine

August 13, 2018

Amy O’Donnell, who worked for NYC-based home-and-fabric company Hable Construction before moving to Maine, operates a charming seasonal (and online) shop called Sugar Tools in Camden. O’Donnell stocks a mix of classic made-in-Maine goods (onion baskets, balsam pillows, wooden spoons) and goods from farther afield, including Sweden, Japan, and France. Here’s a look.
