Again you can head on down to Alexandra’s Bread Co to buy this limited edition numbered print all framed for only $35. That’s just ridiculous! Make sure to tell Alexandra if you had any interest in buying a plate or set of the china if this print is ever produced in that form.

Mary Rhinelander’s Limited Edition Cape Ann Blue Willow China Design
There is a limited edition copy of Mary Rhinelander’s Blue Willow China Pattern Design at Alexandra’s Bread Co.
It hasn’t been made into china yet but I’m thinking that some of the finer shops in town like The Black Swan, Stone Leaf, Pauline’s Gifts or Pisces would sell the hell out of this if it were made into China to collectors or people that love the area.
Timeless, just like the stuff that comes out of the Acorn Press. This framed, numbered, limited edition print sells for only $35 at Alexandra’s Bread Co.

Good night Gloucester
Merry Christmas Family

Isn’t it amazing how Matty can paint the reflection of a lousy photographers hand in his painting? 🙂
The portrait of my girls on the beach that Matty did was a big hit.

Where Zat?
I was walking the other day and this little mosaic was just right smack in the middle of the road. I have no idea how it got there or why it was placed where it was but it was a neat little piece of Gloucester funk. Me likey.
Who knows where it is or the story behind it?

Calendar Crazy!
Never did I think that these calendars would be so popular. Whenever I’m not working, I’m printing, cutting or assembling them. Right after the holidays, I’ll look for a more efficient way to do them for next year.
I’ve been sending them all over the country. If you want any of the three calendars, please order them ASAP. You can also get them at PRESENT and the Harbor Loop Gift Shop. Thanks!
