Do bicyclists riding 3 or more abreast down Gloucester streets bother you? Be happy we don’t have elephants here.

Beth Costanzo and Kids Unlimited are holding a Benefit for the Sawyer Free Library’s Childrens’ Room
Hi Joey,
Beth Costanzo and Kids Unlimited are holding a Benefit for the Sawyer Free Library’s Childrens’ Room. I am hoping you will post this poster as often as possible.
This is a benefit, therefore Beth and myself will not be profiting from this event. We could really use your help promoting this event. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Library and 20% of Kids Unlimited’s gross sales during the event will also be donated. The poster is self explanitory, with other things being added each day. We hope to make this a WOW day for all the Kids.Thanks as always for your help.

Riding with King Eider and the Schooners
- Passengers getting wet.
- Captain Steve Douglas can position the Eider for the best schooner photos.
- Steven Douglass with first mate and wife Virginia. A totally good experience.

Mary Rose Vintage Design
This new vintage store on Main Street has already gotten some GMG love, but my series on second-hand stores on this side of the bridge would be incomplete if I were not to cover it too!
Mary Rose Vintage Design (269 Main Street) opened this summer. Hours are Tue – Sun: 10:30 am – 5:30 pm. It doesn’t have a big sign our front yet, but it is located roughly across the street from Sequined Fan and Pearls, and has a chalkboard sign out front on the sidewalk:
Jackie, the owner (who happens to be from Australia), has a great sense of design and a distinctive aesthetic that you perceive as soon as you walk in the store. Besides having an interesting assortment of vintage items, she has them arranged in little vignettes, often featuring “mildly creepy baby dolls”. Jackie’s friend Zach helps out in the store, and shows up in one of the photos below:
Main Street in Gloucester really should be known as a destination for second-hand and vintage stores!

Hi All,
Just wanted to send out an invite to my last days of summer open studio. It will be on display as it is until Sept 17th and then I will be changing things around in preparation for making a new body of work. Attached are the final summer open studio dates. I am also available to show the studio by appointment. Please forward this to anyone you think may be interested in seeing my past six years of work from Montserrat.
Thanks!

What is Awesome Gloucester?
Awesome Gloucester is a chapter of the Awesome Foundation. Awesome Gloucester gives away $1,000 micro-grants every month.
Trustees of the Awesome Gloucester Foundation
From the Awesome Foundation FB page ~
“On a monthly basis, we pool together the money for Awesome Gloucester micro-grants from the coffers of twenty Trustees of Awesome. We then give this money to project creators upfront in cash. Our micro-grants are given with no strings attached.
Awesome Gloucester encourages and supports projects intended to add Awesomeness to Gloucester in any of the following areas: (1) maritime related industry and economy, (2) preservation of maritime heritage and culture, and (3) community togetherness and appreciation.
If you have an idea for an Awesome project you’d like for us to fund, simply fill in this form before the 15th of each month:
www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new
[NOTE: WE’LL START ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS IN SEPTEMBER.]
We get together on the last Thursday of every month to narrow down the field and decide the winner. After that meeting, we announce a list of Finalists by posting them on our Facebook Page.
A few days after we post the Finalists on Facebook, we’ll announce the winner! Lots of times we’ll host a party for the Finalists where we’ll hand over the $1,000 micro-grant in person and in cash.”
