Holiday Gift Ideas

As the holiday season has come to Kennebunk, we are all getting ready for our big annual holiday party known as the Christmas Prelude. For those of you that have not visited Coastal Maine for this unique event, it is really a special treat, featuring a tree lighting ceremony in Dock Square in Kennebunkport, as well as special promotions by all of the area merchants.

Also, we have seen many more people purchasing some of our more unique table lamps from us for the holiday season, including the Hubbardton Forge Stasis, as well as the one of the unique fillable glass lamp offerings that we have inclding our small fillable glass lamp and our large fillable glass lamp. We have found that lamps make for a great unexpected holiday gift.

Should you make it up to Kennebunk, make sure to stop and by and see us. We would love to see you.

Hubbardton Forge Factory Tour

We recently returned from our trip to Vermont, and man, we nailed it perfectly. The weather was great, the food was better, and we came back recharged to work at Crescent Harbor. At the end of our trip we went to Castleton to see Hubbardton Forge. This was really a great experience for us. We got to meet all of the people that we speak with on the phone regularly, and we saw the factory, which was really an extremely impressive operation. Seeing just what goes into making Hubbardton Forge Chandeliers, Ceiling Fixtures, Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Pendants, and Sconces. I would say that upwards of thirty people work on each Hubbardton Forge Light Fixture from start to finish, which is pretty impressive. All in all it was great to see lighting fixtures that are Handmade in Vermont, and it was also great to get off to the Green Mountain State for a few days of rest and relaxation.

H.A. Framburg

Crescent Harbor Lighting has been introducing more and more of the lighting designs by H.A. Framburg to the world. Based in Illinois since 1905, Framburg features one of the most diverse lines of high end designer lighting available in the lighting industry. Framburg wall sconces, Framburg chandeliers, as well as Framburg outdoor lighting incorporate dozens of designs that come in unique series. Far from the mass-market liging fixtures that are available on the market today, lighting fixtures by Framburg are truly works of art and will alow you to showcase your tastes and styles throughout your home. To learn more about Framburg Lights, please feel free to contact us at Crescent Harbor Lighting. We look forward to helping you!

Vacation to Vermont

We here at Crescent Harbor Lighting are very much looking forward to our summer vacation to Vermont. Some of us will still be here in Kennebunk, Maine holding down the fort, so don't worry, you will still be able to place orders and get lighting consultation. On our trip, we will be going to Hubbardton Forge to see how all of the Hubbardton Forge Lights and Hubbardton Forge Lighting Fixtures are made. We have spoke with many people at the factory, and they all seem to be excited about our visit as we are! When we get back from Castleton, home of Hubbardon Forge, we will fill you in on all of the details of our trip.

Heat Wave

Greetings from Kennebunk Maine here at Crescent Harbor Lighting! We have been in the midst of a heatwave, and as a result, we have seen quite an interest in table lamps, floor lamps, and bathroom lighting fixtures, as people have been spending more time indoors to beat the heat. We have also had quite a few customers that have found use for our brass onion lights and onion lanterns, made by Brass Traditions.

Lighting in Maine takes on many forms, and we are happy to help those with their lighting needs at Crescent Harbor Lighting.

Hubbardton Forge

We have currently been seeing quite a bit of demand for Hubbardton Forge Products, whether it be for Outdoor Lighting, Chandeliers, and Wall Sconces to name a few specific items. Hubbardton Forge Table Lamps and Hubbardton Forge Floor Lamps are also extremely popular as of late. Hubbardton Forge is a really unique company. They still manufacture domestically, in Castleton Vermont, which we all know is extremely important at this juncture in American history. But economics and Patriotism aside (although those are celarly extremely important), Hubbardton Forge Lighting is of the highest quality due to the fact that it is made stateside, and they stand by their products as well. Crescent Harbor Lighting offers the full line from Hubbardton Forge, and our trained specialists would be happy to speak with you should you need assistance.

Downeast Magazine

So, this month marks the first time that we have tried any mass market advertising. Crescent Harbor Lighting is featured in the "Good Things From Maine" section of Downeast magazine. This is one of our favorite magazines as they always have great info about our beautiful home state. When company comes to visit they always ask us to pull out any old issues they haven't seen since they last visited, and find this a highlight of their visit (beyond the lobster!).

We featured the Mariana Sand-Dollar lamp this month as it seems very in keeping with the Maine style and would be the perfect accent in any summer beach cottage. It seems like something you would find in Martha Stewart's beach house.
