Thank you for all your card orders! I’m preparing another shipment now. I sold out at the festivals! So humbling! I thought for sure some would be left but I didn’t bring ONE home. How cool is that?

This has been so fun. Thank you, friends! If you’d like some Maine Gift cards made by me (they’re all so nice!) then send a message! I’ll be mailing tomorrow. They’re 4/$20 plus shipping and every order is different! All hand pressed and stamped by me. Who do YOU want to send a “hello” to? Send them a UNIQUE Nadine in Maine card! 🦞

Four more sets sent today! You friends are AMAZING! This has been so fun! Would you like a set of unique gift cards? I’m making bundles today for the upcoming Festivals. I’ll send you some today!

💌💌💌💌 Each bundle has 4 random cards, each set is different (you COULD possibly get a duplicate but it hasn’t happened yet!) and every bundle is of our life. Made by me! Message for details! I’ll give you my Venmo! ❤️

The next batch of handmade MAINE gift cards are ready for the mail today! I have about a half dozen sets left. Send me a message! I’ll send you my Venmo! 💌

I’m sold out of the entire second batch already! I’ve developed 100 more pictures which should be here tomorrow. Any new orders will ship MONDAY! At this rate, I won’t have any for the festivals 🤣 but I’m thrilled that so many of you have bought a set (or two!). Our life was full of journeys; these photos were all beautiful chapters in our life’s novel. Your wanting a piece of that book makes my whole heart happy! I can’t tell you how warming it is to get messages saying “Nadine, I’d love some cards! Here’s my address!”

If you’d like to be sent some Monday, send me a message today! I’ll give you my Venmo and then all you have to do is check your mail next week!

All our love. (All of it!)
❤️

I took every photo. Slices of Mother Shuckers Lobster Shacks life. You’re gonna love your cards and so will your recipients! Thank you for supporting my new hobby and keeping our business alive! Want a 4pk? I’d love to send you some! Send me a message! 💌

The outpouring of love has been SO OVERWHELMING! Thank you friends. I’m sad too! This was much like a death. A piece of us died when we made this decision this year. Imagine a whole life of lobstering and then in your 50s making a career change when all you’ve ever known is the sound of the seagulls and the feel of a ships wheel…

But HONESTLY, we also feel really good about it. This is a SMART move and a GOOD one. We aren’t giving up our lobster license. We still have a smaller boat. We still have traps! Mother Shuckers Lobster Shack is still “a thing” (I’ve thought about “the year we took a break” T-shirts! 😜 wouldn’t those be fun?)

“It’s NOT goodbye, it’s SEE YA LATER!” And who knows what our future holds. We are living our best lives for TODAY! (I’m hankering lobsters. Chad hasn’t even set a single trap yet! This is grounds for divorce! 🤣) but he’s working and he just hasn’t found the time or even need to go. This isn’t an income anymore. It’s a hobby (and he better get his BUTT going, his wife is and always will be a LOBSTER FISHERMANS WIFE! lol)

Which brings me to this. I have been taking the most incredible photos over the years. I can tell you the exact moment I snapped this picture. It was a warm morning and the sunrise was gorgeous. I was standing on the bow of the skiff as we glided towards “work” and I snapped this photo. It was PERFECT. A perfect day doing what we loved…

THAT is what we miss. This was our office. I’ve seen some INCREDIBLE moments on that ocean and I’ve taken some STUNNING photos. I loved every minute!

So, I thought it would be fun to make some MAINE gift cards. I have been hand making my own photos into STUNNING, almost professional looking gift cards. You’ll be impressed! I started for fun but the locals have sucked them up. My Mom even ordered some. I figured maybe you’d want some, too! I’ve made 6 bundles (4pk) so far and I have another 6 to do (ran out of blank cards!) and the very few people I’ve shown have already bought them! But for fun in my spare time this Summer, I’m making 4pks of blank gift cards with our lobster life’s moments on each card. Each bundle is $20 (plus shipping) and the photos are all Maine related. If you’re interested in some fun and very nicely made gift cards, let me be your girl!

I like surprises. Always have! So each bundle is a surprise. You don’t get to pick the pictures! Trust me! I can tell you, they’re ALL gorgeous and all moments of our life. All moments of our time.

On the back is a special pine tree stamp with a little description about the card. (My signature touch). The cards say “MAINE.” On each one. They’re all blank on the inside (though I’m toying with sayings in each card for special occasions or inspirations, later) and they’re all in plastic cellophane for protection.

Send your friends and family a fun greeting card! Unique and better than any box store. Comment below your thoughts and if you’re interested, send me a message and I’ll send you my payment options. Give me a couple weeks as my supplies are ordered online and I don’t know how many of these babies will sell. Buy all you want but Mother Shuckers Lobster Shack is known all over the world and I’m guessing I’ll be making a lot of cards. Good! I have some downtime until school starts and these are fun!

Ps. Don’t fall for scams. Trolls might message you or tag you. Thats not me. Message this page direct if you want to order. Just tell me how many 4pks you want, Then watch the mail! You’re gonna love them and no two four packs are alike! (Though you might get as random duplicate card) but super great gifts. Remind your family from away that Maine misses them. Send a special happy birthday! Send someone you love some unique cards as a gift for THEM to use. They’re mixed and matched. All great. I think it’s a perfect way to keep us alive! Send a “get well” card or a “I miss you” card in true Maine style. All the while your girl Nadine made them. I think it’s fun! You?

See ya later!
Love you big!
Send me a message!

The hardest post we’ve ever posted…

Last year, after strong consideration and many discussions, Chad and I decided to change careers and close our family business. We will not be opening Mother Shuckers Lobster Shack this season.

(Before you panic, our hope is to still have the occasional lobsters for sale here & there, but how and when is still to be determined…)

It’s no surprise if you have watched the News at all, that our Industry has been struggling. (For lack of better words)

When the Industry struggles, the Fishermen struggle. We began to struggle. It’s sad to see what’s happening to our Industry. I fear this will be one of many future posts from all over Maine.

In February, Chad made the COMMENDABLE choice to begin a new career at the age of 49. Chad has been a Maine Lobsterman his entire life and has never had any other profession. Imagine how hard of a decision this was. It was huge.

With the changes, regulations, and laws ever evolving, it was just TIME. It was now or never.

So, we turned a new leaf! 🍃 it’s a good move! Likely a smart one!

Please don’t be sad for us. This is a step in the right direction for our family! Mother Shuckers Lobster Shack did everything it was supposed to do; introduce us to new friends, save our financial wellbeing, support our local economy, and bring people into our lives we NEVER would have met. Those people we now call FAMILY. (That’s you!) and it was strong for 12 years ❤️

It was just time. I know you’ll all wonder “but how, when, where will we get our lobster?” And I don’t have the answer yet. In a perfect world, Chad would fish a day or two a week and keep his full time job, too. We’d sell lobsters here and there and be at least able to keep in touch.

But that handsome fisherman on the left has gone into a new career as a Corrections Officer at the WCJ, and I am actually taking classes to become a Teacher! We work crazy hours. I subbed all Winter at our local High School and fell in absolute LOVE with Teaching, so I’ll be taking classes towards an Eduction Degree and together we are living our BEST new lives!

We now have health insurance! Medical, Dental, Eye, 401k. Say what? What is this new world? It feels so good to pay $14 copays instead of cash out of pocket. It feels good to not avoid the doctors as last resorts, but instead be up-to-date with medical attention. To have RETIREMENT. It’s better late than nevah!

This is all around GOOD for our family. And I’m proud of US! ❤️ it’s been a brick-wall change. But for the GOOD.

We just sold our boat, the F/V Nadine Marie (ugh, that was tough! She was so good to us!) and bought a smaller boat to dabble with. When our schedules iron out, we may have occasional lobsters for sale again. But 7 day a week lobsters? Not anymore. As of now, I had to make this post. Our phones have been ringing off the hook with all our old friends, and it was time we filled you in.

Mother Shuckers Lobster Shack will always BE. It’s just taking a step back. I’ll never let it just go. Let us find our new rhythm and who knows what the future holds!

I know you’re sad. In a few ways, we are too. But we are also happier than we’ve been in a long time. This change was welcomed.

Please keep in touch with us. We will miss your faces but we are doing what our family simply had to do. Celebrate with us. Chad alone has made a 180° transition from a year ago. He loves his new career and I do too. Hes so handsome in uniform! 😍

Tough times don’t last, Tough PEOPLE do, and you’re looking at two of Maines toughest! How blessed we are that you all are in our forever circle. To be cont… I’ll keep you posted when our schedules relax!

Thank you for everything!
On to new adventures!
Keep those shirts, they’ll always be RELICS!
Please stay in touch. We will miss YOU, most!

Hi friends, seems the TROLLS are bored today. If you’re tagged by someone on one of our posts offering a sweatshirt (or anything), it’s not me. Please don’t ever fall for tags and scams. So annoying. Beyond frustrating, too. I’m sorry! It can’t be prevented. Sometimes they’ll make several accounts with the same name even. Just be aware.

Otherwise, all is well here in the Bluffs! It’s cold and Winter is certainly here. Life is good, though. I miss lobster as much as you do. Warm weather come quick! Happy New Year to you all. See you in the Spring! 🥰

Today is your day, but EVERY day we are thankful for what you do, and what you’ve done. Thank you for your courage! 🇺🇸♥️

This stuff just doesn’t happen here. That’s what we are all thinking. Not here. Not Maine. Mainers are all completely devastated. Our whole lives are on hold, and nobody can believe it.

We are where you come to unplug from sadness. This is where you come to detox from chaos. We are lovers of people and peace. Today we are in sadness and shock.

I guess we thought we had a phantom barrier that’s ALWAYS protected our beautiful State and the people in it.

Safety. Happiness. Ease. Comfort. Relaxing.

All words used when you think of Maine.

Never (EVER) mass-shooting.

Proof that nowhere is immune to tragedy. Even us. Prayers to the victims as we can’t imagine what you’re going through. We will be here for you. You will see solidarity in Maine like never before.

And STRENGTH to the Law as everyone actively seeks to end the manhunt. Officers from all over Maine are protecting their hometowns strong today. Law Officers from all over are coming to help in the hunt. We are all on high alert and hope that this horror ends soon.
