Debara uses bits of Sea Glass that she finds on the Shores of Gloucester and combines them with her watercolors to create unique pieces that always have a little bit of Gloucester in them no matter where you may hang them.

Here is John at the Gloucester Guerilla Art Project II/Russo Family Fundraiser-
For those of you who didn’t get to the Gloucester Guerrilla Art Project II last week, this is my photo video of “Wall Street Autumn”. My friend Peter Fedele is playing amazing guitar on the musical piece from his CD Hullabaloo. He lives in Rockport with his wife and 3 children. I love listening to him play.
Thanks, Joey, for helping me figure out how to get this posted! You are the best!
Richard Leonard put this funky Barbie doll chandelier together. If you notice all the Barbie dolls have their hair cut off. That was to avoid any potential fire hazard.
Funky Gloucester right there baby!

While at Bananas interviewing Richard Leonard in pops this woman, Joni.
She is poking around and out of the frame of the video I was taking but Richard knew her well as she was one of his regular customers. He had a pile of dresses put aside for her in her size, things he thought she would like, all waiting for her to show up as she apparently does weekly.
Now I know we have great merchants Downtown and this is just another example of how our community is special and places like Bananas and others cater on a personal level to our community.
You think someone at the mall is going to put certain sizes and styles aside for a customer and have them waiting for them to pop in to try on without notice? Bravo Richard! Bravo Bananas! Bravo Gloucester!

When I lived on Marchant St., I had a skylight in my room. I had to stand on the bed to get this shot. Living in the middle of town has its benefits!
Cookie– You asked for churches! Here’s one for ya! Watch for more in the future.
If you were born in Gloucester you remember Twin Lights Soda. You remember those heavy glass soda bottles and you remember the crates that they used to put the heavy glass bottles into. You remember the different cool flavors like birch beer, and cream soda.
Well Alexandra’s Bread exclusively carries Twin Light T Shirts. She had them made up with permission from the bottler. For a little bit of nostalgia, cruise on down to Alexandra’s Bread, grab a cobble or six and check out all teh cool stuff on the walls for sale.
