Sharon Lowe’s Cape Ann 2010 Calendar

Sharon dropped off one of her beautiful calendars for me and I have to tell you they are just the perfect gift.  The images look like paintings, the kind of painting where they make everything just right.  $15 and the just right for mailing out as a gift.  It’s a no-brainer for anyone you know who loves our area.

And there are MANY more, twenty total!!

Cormorant Shop Carrying Felicia’s Holiday Bows

People comment how they love how The Bean and Snoop Maddie Mad always have a bow in their hair.  Well it’s difficult to find bows around here.

We usually buy a ton of them down in Naples because there are a couple of shops that have them.  Well my sister Felicia being the ridiculously creative person that she is can produce just about anything in the kitchen or anything to do with sewing.  She doesn’t use recipes and she doesn’t follow paterns- she just is gifted that way.  I know she got it from our grandmother Felicia and partly from my mother..

Well Janice Lufkin Shea will be carrying Felicia’s bows at The Cormorant Shop.  So stop on down and pick some up for the little girls in your life.  they make perfect stocking stuffers.
