Porch View on Hermon Pond Greeting Card

Some of the best views aren't found at famous landmarks—they're discovered from the places that begin to feel like home.

Photographed from the back porch of a cozy cottage overlooking Hermon Pond in Hampden, Maine, this peaceful lakeside scene captures the quiet beauty of an autumn afternoon. Framed by towering trees and calm water beyond, it's a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones spent simply watching the world slow down.

This 5" x 7" handcrafted photographic greeting card features my original photography and is part of the Come North: Maine collection.

What makes this design especially unique is its connection to Maine's past. Each card is handcrafted using an authentic page from an 1870 Maine Political Register, discovered in a small antique shop in Ellsworth, Maine. Because every page from the historic volume is different, no two cards are exactly alike, making each one a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Carefully handcrafted on premium cardstock, this card is designed to be treasured long after it's been received.

Blank inside, leaving plenty of room for your own heartfelt message.

✨ Along the Way...

This was the view from the back porch of our little cottage. When I wandered into an antique store in Ellsworth, I found an original 1870 Maine Political Register and immediately knew I wanted to weave a piece of Maine's history into this design. Every card features a different page from that book, so no two are exactly alike.

✨ Every card is unique.
This design includes an authentic page from an original 1870 Maine Political Register. Because each card features a different page from the historic book, the one you receive will vary slightly from the photos, making your card truly one of a kind.
