LOVELL, Maine — Christmas is always a particularly special time for Lynda Rasco and Bill Rudd, the owners of Harvest Gold Gallery in Center Lovell, Maine. It was over 20 years ago on Christmas Eve’s eve that jewelers Rasco and Rudd moved their wholesale jewelry business from Fryeburg, Maine to Center Lovell in order to open their own gallery.

They finished all of their orders for the holidays, packed up their two young children, dismantled their goldsmith shop, and made the move. While many other people were cozying up around a Christmas tree, Rasco and Rudd were setting up shop in the 18th century building, formerly the office of Severance Real Estate.
