The Mayflower Fuller Shallop at Maritime Gloucester

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

The Fuller shallop is a replica of one brought to America aboard the Mayflower in the 17th century and what the Pilgrims used — by oar and sail — to explore the coastline of what now is Massachusetts.

It was the vessel the Pilgrims used to discover Plymouth Harbor.

The Magnolia Community Farmers Market is BACK and better than ever and OH How we missed you!!!!
Back on Lexington Ave, where we belong, the Farmers Market will be open weekly from 10am-1pm (closed the holiday weekends of July 4 and Labor Day).
Safety is still of our utmost concern. With state and local guidance lifted for outdoor venues, we will strive to make each market open and comfortable for outdoor shopping. Our Vendors’ and Farmers’ booths will be spread evenly down the street to make for ample space for distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the market as well. Masks will no longer be required, though we ask everyone to practice kindness and caution to keep each other safe.

The importance of shopping local

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Rick and I decided to redo our dated kitchen.  As most of you know I really like buying and shopping local.

Great experience with local vendors.  First we needed a General Contractor and we hired Kettle Cove Builders.  John Gero owns the company and was awesome.

Next we went to went to Grand Banks and their interior designers did a terrific job with a great design and the  quality was top notch.

Glover Flooring was another local Gem.  They were were efficient and everything came in on time.

Having a excellent General Contractor helps get the Marble contractor, the plumber and any extra contractors you need.  The Marble from Athena Marble and Granite was terrific and we love it.

F.W. Webb was the best place to to find the deep sink that we needed and the plumber put everything together.

Rick and I are so pleased with the the finished product.

The project started on April 27, 2021 and finished on May 28, 2021.  This included demo and installation.

My advise is to always use local and get a great general contract.

Here is a before photo and some after.
