Spring has finally sprung in Maine and here at Home Remedies! It’s time to pack away the flannel sheets and heavy blankets and replace them with lighter and brighter fabrics. We’re prepping for the busy season ahead at our Portland showroom with new inventory and would love to help you to refresh your bedroom for spring with these five easy steps:
Add a Breath of Fresh Air with New Bedding
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your bedding. There’s nothing better than the feeling of climbing into a freshly-made bed at the end of a warm day. We offer a variety of sheets, comforters, and blankets made from breathable and sustainable fabrics, such as organic cotton and natural linen. We’re big fans of Coyuchi, PomPom at Home and Hale Mercantile.
Pile on the Pillows
Add a bloom of color to your bedroom with throw pillows. Mix and match brights and pastels, florals and other patterns with our pillows or create your own look with our custom fabrics.
Update Your Drapes and Let the Sunshine In!
Light and airy is the vibe for spring and updating your drapes is a great way to change the entire look and feel of your bedroom. Choose a fabric that catches your eye from our wall of fabric samples, or let us help create a custom look for you that ties in all the other elements of your room.
Add Fresh Scents of Nature
Bring the heavenly scents of spring into your bedroom with fresh flowers, aromatic candles, and scent diffusers. Home Remedies has collaborated with New Moon Cottage Flower Farm again this year to bring you fresh flowers all season long. There are limited CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) spots available, so give us a call or come visit us at the store for more details!

A flower farm? Two years ago Ann Marie fulfilled a dream of owning a small home in Midcoast Maine. After years of looking in and around the St. George area, she settled on Waldoboro.
From the moment she stepped foot on the land she knew it was meant to be. She literally got goose bumps and fell in love with the lot. Just under 1.5 acres.
Originally she intended it to be an AirBnB, but then the pandemic arrived, so she did what any flower-loving woman does: she dug in the dirt. She planted over one hundred lavender plants and decided to start a flower farm.
And start a flower farm she did! The stories she brings back to Home Remedies after long weekends at the farm fill us with joy and inspiration. We are so pleased to announce that Home Remedies will be a pickup location for New Moon Cottage Flower Farm CSA members.
If you are interesting in joining the CSA, more information is below.
Purchase a membership to receive a new bouquet of flowers every week for ten weeks starting in late June and ending in September. Every Wednesday morning you will be able to pick up your bouquet at Home Remedies.
Each bouquet will be filled with a colorful selection of annuals and perennials grown in Maine by our own Ann Marie. Bouquets may consist of cosmos, stock, zinnias, dahlias, herbs, hosta, celosia, dara, bells of Ireland, sunflowers, and lavender just to name a few.
Membership is for the total of ten weeks and must be paid in full in advance. It is your responsibility to pick up your bouquet at the store or gift it to a friend. If it is a gift, it is your responsibility to coordinate and let us know. As with all farming, flower farming is dependent on the weather. An email will be sent notifying you of the first week to pick up, and will continue until 10 weeks have past. All correspondence will be through email to NewMoonFlowerFarm@gmail.com.
Membership is $200 . 10% of your membership will be donated to a select local non-profit.
Email NewMoonFlowerFarm@gmail.com to sign up!
