Auction

I went to the Blackwood/March auction last night at Woodman’s.  I am definitely not one of the big spenders, but I did get a nice sail boat etching for Mike for $15! I also picked up a persian rug and a turkish rug for the house, nothing too special, but great deals $20 and $40 respectively. Most of the items were from an estate on Annisquam, they had a lot of great paintings and etchings from Cape Ann artists that went from $100-$3,000. It’s really a great way to furnish a house for cheap, a lot of 10 antique chairs sold for $25.  There really is something there for everyone’s price range. Remember to bring cash or a MA check, and you pay 15% buyers premium and sales tax.

Fisherman Tattoo-Patrick Lacey

Ran into Patrick Lacey yesterday who was sporting this dandy of a tattoo on his arm.  So of course having my trusty camera with me I was fortunate enough to get another pho for the Fishermen tattoo series which you can view by clicking this link

The Greenery 1970 and Today

The first shot is an old postcard view out the back window of The Greenery in 1970. The second shot I took while sitting at the round table to the left while having lunch with my daughter and her friends in the Spring of 2009.

Amazing how nothing has changed out that window. (OK, I know it isn’t the same Motif #1.) Unfortunately it all changes tomorrow as there is an auction starting at 9:30 AM to sell off everything inside The Greenery.  The other shots I took while I was there show a lot of paintings on the walls and the identical table and chairs from the 1970 shot. Might be a chance to walk away with a little piece of history.

When I was in the process of buying a house in Rockport in 2008 I spent more than a few afternoons using the Greenery free WiFi reading my email and having a cheeseburger. I could also swing by in the middle of the night and park in front and download updates.
