Michele owns both The Christmas Tree and The Village Emporium. Originally from New York, Michele has been visiting Bar Harbor since the late 1960s. While daughter Dorrie has taken over day-to-day operations of the business, Michele and Mike enjoy visits from their three other children and families each summer who all have fond memories of their time on the island.
Michele began in business representing her sister Joan Purcell, an accomplished artist and one of the early Bar Harbor rusticators. Michele fell in love with Bar Harbor, the island and Maine and began in retail as a way to allow her family to enjoy the summer here. What began as a summer job has grown into a passion
Michele enjoys sharing her fashion sense and enthusiasm with customers. Unexpecting shoppers are drawn in by Michele's warmth and honest dialog and are pleasantly surprised at the time she's willing to spend with them to help them uncover the Emporium's treasures.
