My View of Life on the Dock


Hello Nautical Lovers!
Ipswich River Craft is 1 year old – who would have ever thought this little sign hobby would have taken off? But, because of you – it all has – Thank You Thank You from the bottom of my heart. A few other people also helped us become who we are and we are saying thank you to them as well.
My good friend, Keith & Britt Emery ordered 7 signs right as we started out and that was just their first order. That’s him in the picture with my dog Jack doing a tv interview.
And then Tom Silva, from This Old House taught me the right way to make our product the best it could be. Hear some of those tricks, while Tommy gives an inside peek to his home workshop and show’s us what he is working on now. Plus, we give him a sign. Be sure to watch us on Facebook and Instagram to see what his sign says. Those interviews can all be seen on our FB page at Ipswichrivercraft or on Instagram @ipswichrivercraft @tomsilvatoh. look under reels, and igtv.


The Perfect Gift for Mom
This spring we are cranking out signs and hoping to fill a bunch of Mother’s Day orders. Name signs are a winning gift as you know, and we are also running a special sale on our mini sign that says” I Love U” – for $115. But don’t wait until the last minute, put your orders in now to be sure to get in time. And don’t forget Dad – Father’s Day is June 20th

We are all about getting noticed, and are now working with Cathleen Williamson from PLUM PR Group in Newburyport to get our PR on track.
Maybe you saw us on “Good Morning Gloucester,” click this link to watch – I come in at 31.34 minutes into the broadcast
“GMG” also did a story about our locations sign. Gotta love Good Morning Gloucester.
And Gloucester’s “1623 Studio’s – Cape Ann Today” did a story about our “covid pivot”.
My CT hometown paper “The Milford Mirror” put us on the front page, and the “New Haven Register” did a feature too.
And my wonderful husband, John produced a video documentary about us.
And Coming Up:
“ICAM” (Ipswich Community Access Media) is putting a story together and so is “Wicked Local” to be published soon. And North Shore Magazine is doing a Feature on us in May! All very exciting. We will also be showing at the Essex, Ct Boat Show April 30, May 1 & 2nd. www.ctspringboatshow.com/about-us.html
But, we especially need your help. We would like to ask you to take a picture of your artwork or item you got from us and post on Facebook or Ideally on your Instagram account and tag us. It will help us get more followers who don’t know about what we do.
Tag us @ipswichrivercraft on Instagram – or follow us on Facbook at Ipswichrivercraft.
Ok that’s it for now…remember boating season is just a few weeks away and that means beach days will be following shortly after that.
Fondly,
Pamela

Come join us as we revisit a routine highlighting famous movie theme songs. Not musicals but movies whose theme songs became iconic. Star Wars, Moon River, Midnight Cowboy, Mrs Robinson and more. You bring the popcorn and I’ll bring the music and steps.
For Restorative Yoga, find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work. For more information on Restorative yoga, check out my site, niawithlinda.com. It is a lovely passive practice that gives the participant relaxation and calm. Who couldn’t use that right now.

QB economics: Jones’ contract with the Patriots will be four years, $15.58 million, fully guaranteed, and include an $8.6 million signing bonus. The deal, like all first-round picks, will include a fifth-year option. That’s a great contract for the Patriots — assuming Jones pans out. Had Jones gone to the 49ers at No. 3, he would have signed a four-year, $34.105 million deal that was fully guaranteed.

You pay a QB 30 million a year and that money isn’t available for other positions and the entire team suffers. By being economically savvy they don’t mortgage the future on any one player.
Mac Jones is going to make 6 million a year. If he works out as QB for the Patriots they have him locked up for 4-5 years at 6 million a year.
Consider the top ten highest paid QB in the NFL salaries-

Driving through Essex, MA it’s hard to take in all the beauty. As you wind along on 133, you are at time surrounded by the marsh. The incredible landscape has turned Essex into more than just a destination for clammers. It’s a place to spend the day, to take in the beauty of the world, and to gather with your friends.

The latest addition to Main Street is the Great Marsh Brewing Company. The dining room on the second story offers a more elevated view of the surrounding marsh. In creating the building, we wanted to ensure that the view would be obstructed as little as possible. Windows with a 2 over 2 divided lites allow for that, while still maintaining some of that classic New England Style. We used Marvin Signature windows to achieve the sleek lines and large glass size.

There are few things finer than gathering with…

Adapted by Salem, Mass., resident Julie Butters and performed by Flock Theatre of New London, Conn., the production was filmed over Zoom during the COVID pandemic and supplements live-action performances with shadow puppetry. Butters, who also plays adult Jane, will discuss making the film following the screening alongside director Derron Wood and actor Eric Michaelian (Mr. Rochester) to share the film’s details.
