Hi! Welcome to my store. Ruth Foster's opened 25 years ago when my two grandsons wanted soft comfortable clothing, cuddly teddy bears, classic books and special toys. I'm still in business today because I LOVE my store and my customers and it makes me happy coming here everyday. If you come see me, I hope you feel the same way I do!

Fashionable Togs


Just a corner of our baby and toddler girl selection.

Here I am in the middle of our baby and toddler boy department.

Our baby and toddler departments are bursting at the seams with adorable, quality clothing and accessories. Unlike lots of other stores, we have as many choices for our baby boys as we do for our little girls.

Aren't these bibs the cutest? Made by "A Mom Who Knows" just down the road from us in the little village of Blue Hill. What a fun yet practical shower gift.


These very stylish togs are 100% cotton from Cotton Kids. At Ruth Foster's you will find a fabulous collection of dresses for young ladies. 

Soft leather footwear for busy little feet, in buds and bugs and boats
and planes and so many MORE to choose from!!! All from Robeez Soft Soles.  



It is Kidorable for the best in Puddle jumping gear—Hats and coats and boots and backpacks and...umbrellas. Brand new this year the Pirate Collection! Ruth Foster has got it all.


Oh my! Nighties and sweaters and tees, bibs and toys and bags... If you want a lobster, Maine is the place to get them and Ruth Foster has Maine lobster! 

For over twenty years, Vera Bradley has had a loyal following of customers who not only look forward to lovely new fabrics and styles that are introduced each season, but who also appreciate the function and quality that is synonymous with the name.
