On Saturday the Cape Ann Makers Market was awesome.  Cruiseport is such a beautiful venue.  The Cape Ann Makers Market committee works so hard to put on this great and amazing Holiday Show.  Thank you to these amazing women, Owners Anna Baglaneas Eves (Cape Ann Sea Salt Co.), Deanna Fay (Hold Fast Co.), and Angelia Corrado (Eleven Eleven Elixir).  We all would like to thank the customers who came to shop locally.  We appreciate your business.
