We saw the town, like so many others, slowly fading, and felt a stirring to breathe life back into it, to create a space where community could gather. Life is much more than something that you have; it is something that you do. Life is what happens in the sticky dirt of a backyard while supper is on the stove, it's spent around a campfire made from hand-chopped wood, it's passed down in stories and notes from one generation to the next, it happens in the blink of an eye; and if you're lucky, life will reward you with time amongst those you've brought along through its travels. Built by family, Lost Goods & Gear is where you'll find a haven of timeless elegance by artisan makers. Debra and John wanted to give Belvidere a hideout that reflected a backdrop of their childhood, where the Poconos summers dripped along like the trout-filled pools of the Pequest River. Roam the halls, weather the fireside armchair, and come in to celebrate our collection of independent makers. We hope you'll leave fostering a community that values quality over quantity. Whether you're seeking the perfect cast iron skillet, a hand-built fly rod, or thoughtfully designed outerwear, Lost Goods & Gear invites you to explore a life of intention. Drop us a line, send an email, or swing by the store, at 415 Front Street in Belvidere (07823). Check us out online at: www. LostGoodsAndGear.com. We look forward to meeting you!
