Vintage Romance

Hello Daytrippers!

We are excited to launch our blog - especially in the month of love.  

What could be more romantic than stealing a kiss off the rocky Maine coast just near the lobster shack?  This is the interior cover from Elisabeth Ogilvie's book,  "Rowan Head".  

We have started selling vintage Maine and nature related books at Daytrip Society.  We couldn't resist posting the Elisabeth Ogilvie book covers on our new blog.  She was drawn to Maine when she summered there as a child and then spent her adult life living on a remote island and writing about the beautiful rocky coast and its salty lobsterman.  She says of the island in which she grew up; "To me, this little island, so far outside the others, and its life which I have lived both summer and winter, are an important though scarcely known part of the American scene.  If ever I stop writing, I shall retire here and raise goats, sew, cook, sketch and read to my hearts content".  That is exactly what she did but she kept writing as well. Cheers to Elisabeth Ogilvie and Maine winters!
