Correct spelling Wale. All these years I just assumed it was Whale.


Thank you, Cape Ann markers Market, for another successful holiday season. CAMM events are co-produced by Cape Ann Sea Salt Company Hold Fast Company and Eleven Eleven Elixir. Owners Anna Baglaneas Eves (Cape Ann Sea Salt Co.), Deanna Fay (Hold Fast Co.), and Angelia Corrado (Eleven Eleven Elixir) saw a real need for vendor opportunities for themselves and the many talented makers on Cape Ann, so they decided to tackle the problem head on. These three women are amazing and work very hard to organize these great Holiday Shows. The venues are fun and inviting. It was very busy so not many photos.
The Cut a great venue. Thank you for all who came to shop local. We live in an amazing community and lucky to live here.
