Boots for Birds

Honoring the Paths You've Walked and giving your boots new life

Some boots carry more than miles – they carry memories.

The scuffed soles that walked the Camino de Santiago, the worn laces that steadied you on the Appalachian Trail, the weathered leather that faced England’s Coast to Coast winds. 

After years of faithful service, those boots retire… but their stories don’t fade.

At Harrington Bay on Maine’s rugged Downeast coast, we transform your retired hiking boots into a one-of-a-kind birdhouse, mounted on a sturdy platform of premium Maine White Cedar. The familiar boot – still bearing the marks of your trails – becomes a cozy nesting home for wrens, chickadees, sparrows, and more. 

Handcrafted with care in Maine, USA.

Bay Mats

Woven by hand, Locally Sourced Rope

Bring a little bit of the Rocky Coast to your door with these fishing rope welcome mats. Each one is handwoven in DownEast Maine for years of durability in all the elements.

The raised weave pattern is designed to strip dirt and mud from even the deepest treads of your shoes, while the mat remains clean and colorful. No need to vacuum or wash, as dirt will pass through the weave. Because of the rugged fishing rope material, our mats will never take on odors or become slimy and slippery.

Choose either the softer, indoor Galley Mats or the rugged, outdoor Harbour Mats.

Greetings,

Living and raising our kids along the coast of Maine naturally comes with its own set of traditions. Every December, our family bundled up for the long drive to our tree covered land in Downeast Maine, where the air is crisp and filled with the scent of balsam.

What began as a simple family ritual — cutting greens and crafting wreaths together — quickly grew beyond our own front door. Soon, relatives in Massachusetts and Florida were asking for their own, and before long, friends of friends were hanging our wreaths as far away as California.

Now we’re proud to offer our wreaths and other homemade goods nationwide, and we couldn’t be more grateful — or more excited — to share a bit of our Maine tradition with you. 

— The Ryders
