A gift from mother nature

So excited that the star gazer lilies we planted bloomed beautifully.   Usually, the wonderful deer that visit the yard, get to them before I can cut them.

Fisheries, the oldest industry in the Commonwealth uninterruptedly pursued on Cape Ann, are on full display at CAPE ANN COLLECTORS August Show, VESSEL – opening Saturday, 08/09, and Sunday, 08/10, 2-6 PM.

Consider the stories, aspirations, dangers and commerce contained in this industry’s vessels: pinkies, schooners, trollers, barques, tugboats, dories, gaff-rigged skiffs and Novi hulls. CAPE ANN COLLECTORS master artists (52 works on display) capture fleets of vessels with full open sails, dockside schooners at day’s end, and reflected dories upon the water. These vessels serve as containers for narratives – personal, cultural, historical and metaphorical!

Join us to immerse yourself in VESSEL, a multi-sensory voyage!

Beautiful Bouquet From Sage Flowers

We received this beautiful bouquet and boutonniere with ruby flowers to celebrate our 40th anniversary from FOBs Susan and Leo. This very thoughtful gesture is much appreciated and we hail Sage Floral on Main St for providing flowers that still look pretty fresh a few days later. The bouquet was designed like a wedding bouquet which made it extra fun. The ruby colors are outstanding. Thank you Susan, Leo and Sage Floral!
