How to Order from Stone Soup Artisans

Due to the increasingly high cost of the shopping cart, we are changing the methods we offer for you to order from the site. Instead of the shopping cart, we offer three methods of purchasing items:
 
1.  You may fill out the order form at on the Order Page and mail it to us with a check.

2.  You may call the store and give your order and charge card number to the clerk who is working that day.  207-283-4715
 
3.  You may email us your phone number and the best time to call and we will call you and take your order over the phone. This is probably the preferred way to order over the phone since our clerks are occasionally busy with store customers and may need to get back to you.   postmaster@stonesoupartisans.com

We realize that this is not as convenient as using a shopping cart on the site but we hope you will find our Maine products worth the little extra effort.

      My Favorite Handmade Things Contest

      We have had so much fun with our cat and dog contests that we wanted to come up with something for those of you who don't have animals. Since we are all craftsmen, we decided to try a contest of your favorite items that were hand-crafted. This can be anything you love. It can be something you made yourself, a family keepsake made by your great grandmother, a special find from an auction or flea market or something really special from a crafts fair or your favorite craft store (could that be us?).   Send your entries in jpeg form to speers@gwi.net.
