Winter Respite at 525

Posted on by Pat D

We’d had a long day during the Middle Street Walk festivities including the UU Holiday Show and the Lobster Trap Tree Lighting and I was craving a quiet comfortable dinner experience. There are so many fine choices, but this time we went to 525 on Lexington Ave in Magnolia. We were greeted warmly, seated and served in a friendly efficient manner. (Shout out to Kirsten). I had the chicken saltimbocca and Jim ordered the hearty meatloaf. The experienced warmed us up inside and out, as it always has. Did you know they offer brunch on Sundays too?? Thank you Tamie and Larry!

The Cape Ann Makers Market at The Cut

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

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.
