Apothecary Suil Crow Spreads Its Wings: Iconic Rockport

After four years of enchanting the community of Rockport, Apothecary Suil Crow is preparing for a magical new chapter. Owner and Ipswich resident Rebeccah Pearson has officially signed a lease for the shop’s new home at 153 Main Street, the site of the former Weathervane.

The move marks a significant expansion for the apothecary, which has become a beloved North Shore “destination spot” known for its blend of Olde World charm, community activism, and mystical flair.

A Legacy of Healing and Community

Since its inception on Cape Ann, Suil Crow has been more than just a retail space. Under Pearson’s leadership, it has served as a sanctuary, offering:

  • Community Roots: From an outdoor food pantry and community herb garden to a well-attended craft fair for three years in a row.
  • Education & Artistry: Year-round courses held on the patio and inside the shop, fostering local artistic talent.
  • Global & Local Treasures: A curated collection featuring over 25 local crafters, plus unique finds from England, Ireland, and Scotland.

“It was time to move into a larger location,” says Pearson. “Though we love Rockport, it was time to spread our crow wings and fly into a new town where we felt would be a brighter home and the perfect fit.”

What to Expect at 153 Main Street

The Gloucester location will continue Pearson’s mission of “bringing the elements of the outside in.” Visitors can expect a rustic, enchanted atmosphere filled with:

  • Handcrafted Goods: Artisanal candles, homemade preserves, seasonal floral wreaths, and Pearson’s own artwork.
  • Curated Decor: Baskets, throw pillows, blankets, and an “unusual collection of oddities.”
  • Expanded Services: In addition to daily Tarot readings, the new space features a secluded area for Reiki and Sound Energy Healing with local practitioner Dan Ryan.
  • Coming Soon: The debut of “Witches Brew” soda!

A Heart for Cape Ann

Pearson, a practitioner of Olde World Folk Magic for over 40 years, is perhaps best known for her deep commitment to local families. For the past four years, she has spearheaded a Yule Gift Giving program. Last year, with the help of residents and local partners like Americold and Wolf Hill, the initiative provided gifts to 527 children.

“The holidays are filled with giving to those that need it the most,” Pearson notes. She confirmed the tradition will continue for a fifth year in Gloucester, adding with a smile, “Santa will definitely be around… after a visit from Krampus, of course.”

Grand Opening & Timeline

The move is expected to be completed by May 1st, just in time to celebrate May Day. To ensure a seamless transition for her “faithful shoppers,” the Rockport location will remain open while the Gloucester shop is being prepared. Fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to follow Apothecary Suil Crow on Facebook for updates on the upcoming Grand Opening celebration.

“Magic comes in all forms, it’s not all about spells and candles, it’s also about community and connection with life around you” says Pearson. “We are hoping our magic will bring love to those in Gloucester for many years to come.”

2026 Cape Ann License Plate Online Auction Kicks Off April 10

Sale of Low-Number Plates, Customer Plates, Special-Number Plates 
Fund Cape Ann Community Foundation Grants for Local Non-Profit and Civic Initiatives 

The Cape Ann Community Foundation (CACF) will launch its annual Cape Ann License Plate Online Auction on April 10, and this year, the 11-day program will include new opportunities to secure custom plates and special-number plates, as well as the remaining low-number plates.

Any Massachusetts resident who wants to display their love and support for Greater Cape Ann will have a chance to bid on these Cape Ann license plates during the auction, which runs through August 20.

In addition to remaining four low-number Cape Ann license plates between 1-100 – CA66, CA78, CA79 and CA88 – this year’s auction will for the first time include auction discounts for 3- and 4-digit custom plates and special-number plates reflecting local area codes and exchanges, zip codes, and dates when Greater Cape Ann communities were founded. Some examples of the special-number plates include 525, 9130 and 2026. These plates will be available at a discounted price of $300, a significant auction discount. 

Custom 3- and 4-digit plates – with numbers selected by drivers – will be offered at an auction price of $250, a 50 percent discount.

There are still thousands of random plates still available, for a payment of just $40 every other year. These plates are typically delivered within 10 days, with no need to go to a Registry of Motor Vehicles office.

All proceeds from the auction and other Cape Ann License Plate sales go to CACF, which uses the proceeds to fund grants awarded each year to local non-profits and civic initiatives. Since 2017, the Foundation has granted more than $130,000 to over 60 organizations. 

For more information on the auction and to register to bid, visit www.lovecapeann.com. The site also has information on the easy steps to order a random Cape Ann license plate through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. 

“The Cape Ann License Plate gives you the opportunity to show your love for Cape Ann while helping local non-profits, and there’s no better time to secure a plate than during our annual online auction,” said Britta Cahoon, co-chair of the Cape Ann Community Foundation board of directors.  “We encourage everyone to join this year’s Cape Ann License Plate Online Auction and help us help our deserving non-profits.”

“More and more people want a Cape Ann License Plate, and the most sought-after numbers are available through the auction, often at prices much lower than at any other time during the year,” said Foundation Co-Chair Tony Sapienza. “This will be an important 11 days for our non-profits and our entire community, and we invite you to be part of the excitement and to show your love for Cape Ann by purchasing one of these special plates.”

For more information about the Cape Ann License Plate Online Auction and for assistance in obtaining a Cape Ann License Plate, call the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce at 978-283-1601 or visit the Chamber office at 24 Harbor Loop in Gloucester.
