Hello, my name is Gia Pilgrim Charles.

I have a love for stories and storytelling.

I grew up on a small farm on the New Meadows River in West Bath, ME, with a saltwater cove nearby where I would swim on hot summer days. 

As a young girl, I read hundreds and hundreds of books. These novels inspired me to look for all the small details that make life so wonderful - and I still do, everyday. 

I went to the University of Maine at Farmington for an English degree. And husband grew up in the Western Mountains of Maine in a town called New Vineyard.

We bought an old house in the heart of Farmington, ME and spent a few years fixing it up. We now live in Maine’s coolest little city, Bath. We’ve had two kids since then, and have been restoring old homes in my hometown.

I work in the Children’s Room at the Patten Free Library, and Jake is a self employed carpenter at Jacob Charles Builder, LLC.

The State of Maine has a large place in my heart and I am constantly amazed by its beauty, history, and wonderful inhabitants. This blog is a way to tell my story and others’ stories.
