8–10 AM. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Cindy McNinch is in the kitchen making the donuts some of you still talk about — the American Legion donuts. The ones Joyce Macomber ( her momma) made back in the day that set the bar way too high and quietly haunted your donut expectations ever since.

Same family recipe. Same magic. Different hands.
And yes, they’re being fried tomorrow morning.

$2.50 a donut
$5 donut + coffee
Come early. Regret nothing.

If you know, you know.
If you don’t, tomorrow’s your chance

If you’re passing through, this wall is here to welcome you.
A winter portrait of the Maine Highlands—big, imperfect, layered with grit, humor, and quiet detail.
The kind of place (and painting) that asks you to slow down, look again, and maybe fall a little in love before you take off.

A wall of winter is taking shape at Bangor International Airport.
Three of the five glass panels are complete, and I’m sharing what exists so far. I’ll reveal the full installation when all five come together.

This is a winter wonderland rooted in the Maine Highlands: environmental nods, whimsical details, nests, tiny towns, mushrooms, and the quiet rhythm of the forest in winter.

No matter how detailed the schematic, the real piece only reveals itself in motion. The scale, the light, the physical reach — they change the work as you create it. This installation has demanded full presence, strength, and instinct.

Public art matters because it interrupts the rush. It meets people where they are — arriving, departing, tired, hopeful — and gives them a moment they didn’t expect. Work at this scale shifts the energy of an entire space and creates a shared experience for thousands.

I’m Abby Freethy. Everything I create — food, art, design — comes from the same creative well. This installation marks an important step in my evolution as an artist.

My thanks to the airport for trusting me with this project.
Three panels down. Two to go…

He insists on greeting everyone personally.
I don’t argue.

The door is open, the light is warm, and the scent of something sweet is already in the air.

Hours this week:
Wednesday 10–5 or 6
Friday–Sunday 10–5

Pies, sourdough, baked goods and other small comforts — plus a shop full of quiet beauty for gifting (or keeping). Always happy to wrap.

Thanksgiving pies are happening. I’m making a limited amount this year. If you’d like to claim one, reach out. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Eight seats. Four friends, three friends, and one brave solo. They arrived as separate circles, but the night drew them into its own orbit. A table of eight isn’t simply a dinner—it’s a week of preparation, intention, and craft. I design these evenings to engage every sense: the lighting, the flowers and small gifts, the quiet scent in the room, the pacing of service, the music that sets the tone, and the food that anchors it all. Nothing is accidental.

Last night’s dinner began when a small group reached out, and I curated the remaining seats so the table could become eight. Strangers at first, but the room warmed, the conversation stretched, and the night settled into something memorable.

You can book a night like this—any mix of people. If this stirs something in you, ask. I’ll tell you how to begin.

I got a new commercial dishwasher and I’m not ashamed to say it: I don’t want to leave the kitchen. After years of coaxing along machines that groaned louder than I did during peak season, I finally saved up and bought one with a warranty! I’d like to formally announce that all I want to do now is wash dishes and whisper sweet nothings to this glorious piece of stainless steel.
