We are so blessed on Cape Ann to have truly a wealth of wonderful bookshops. I was picking up a few gifts Saturday to get my boxes off to family members who live out of town and stopped by Toad Hall to say hello. Leta and Mary-Beth were very busy nonetheless, super helpful and friendly. Toad Hall always has a thoughtfully selected collection of superb and interesting books and I especially love their display of books by local authors. Stop by and browse, you’ll be sure to find treasures for loved ones!

Toad Hall is located at 47 Main Street in Rockport and is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sundays from noon to 5pm. Ask about their fantastic frequent buyers program!
The harbor water was a stunning crystal clear ultramarine blue in the (warm, tropical-like) December light and while shopping I couldn’t resist taking a few snapshots of Motif #1.
Good Morning Gloucester 
I just LOVE that Mark Williams’ boat, F/V Black Sheep, is on the cover of Heather Atwood’s book. ❤

The harbor sure looks different in the off-season. Do you think anyone will miss a few feet of snow on the wharf?

I forgot to mention how glad I am to see that Toad Hall is still open and apparently thriving. A healthy bookstore is a sign of an intelligent and aware community.
