It begins on the beautiful shores of mid-coast Maine with Jim and May Davidson. In the mid-1970s, they combined expert craftsmanship with their love of the sea to produce one-of-a-kind bells that harnessed the soul, sound, and raw beauty of life on the water and the sounds of buoy bells. Like many of his neighbors from the small coastal village of Round Pond, Jim felt most at home on the water. He worked as a lobsterman for years, breathing in the crisp, salt-filled air and listening to the sweet sound of bells attached to the harbor buoys. | | A legacy to be proud of. Today, Jimâs family, Connie and Paul, continue to offer original and authentic wind bells that capture the simple beauty of Jimâs life on the sea. To this day, theyâre made in Maine with quality materials and American pride. How to get one: North Country Wind BellsÂŽ has a vast assortment of bells that are perfect for any home, patio or entryway.

Theyâre an incredibly thoughtful gift for anyone on your list who loves listening to the sounds of the sea and buoy bells. | | | | | ⨠Grommet of the Day ⨠Max Bubble Gun: This automatic bubble blaster sends 1,000s of bubbles into the air at ONCE | | BUBBLES!
