From Home & Away to Baskets of Time
Home & Away Gallery began as a website in the year 2000. In 2003, we established a physical store in Kennebunkport, Maine, which we operated until 2023. The gallery offered artwork by indigenous artists across North America.
In 2016, David Shultz, owner and manager of Home & Away, wrote Baskets of Time, Profiles of Maine Indian Basket Makers. The book covers 17 artists and families who have brought the ancient art of weaving baskets from black ash wood and sweetgrass into the 21st century.
In 2025, we decided to narrow our focus to Native American baskets, primarily by members of the Wabanaki nations in Maine and southern Canada: Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, and Maliseet. We changed the name of our website to basketsoftime.com.
The items we are offering on Etsy are being sold at deep discounts because we will no longer be carrying them at Baskets of Time. Take advantage of these discounts to purchase authentic Native American art and jewelry at wholesale prices. Once these items are sold, we will not be replacing them.
