Lobster Trap Tree

‘Tis the season of seeing lots of photos of our beloved Lobster Trap Tree, but when something is this special, it is worth sharing a few times. Because, anyone can have a regular Christmas Tree….

Give the Gift of Gloucester: Gloucester 400 Medals Now Available

Posted on by Pat D

The Gloucester 400 Medals, designed by Beth Swan, are now exclusively available at the Brass Monkey at 85 Main Street for $40. We went to the Brass Monkey yesterday to hear a little more about these beautiful commemorative medals designed to celebrate Gloucester’s 400th anniversary in 2023. Mayor Sefatia, and Gloucester 400 co-chairs Ruth Pino and Bob Gillis (Bruce Tobey was not in attendance this time) discussed some of the history of the medal design and selection. All proceeds will benefit the Gloucester 400 Anniversary Celebration. We learned quantities are limited and that they are going fast. There was an order for 15 medals waiting for pickup; and, as we were standing there, a customer ordered 3! I encourage you to stop by the Brass Monkey sooner than later to get yours! The medal is just gorgeous and is giving the Gift of Gloucester.

Video from yesterday’s event posted to Good Morning Gloucester yesterday and here’s a link if you are interested. We met Beth Swan’s husband who showed us the medal given to Beth as an example to study. What an interesting afternoon!

Kate’s Lobster Rolls On A Friday Night In Front Of The Fire

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I’m 50/50 these days as far as preferring just a butter drizzle or Cains mayo. Either way as long as you don’t mess it up with celery or lettuce or put it on some stupid fancy roll or add any other dumb ingredients that ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED TO INTERFERE WITH THE GODDAMN PERFECTION OF A SIMPLE LOBSTER ROLL.

You can’t add anything to perfection, you can only detract from it, thus giving it a lower score.

Another reason to shop local

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

The other day we realized our dryer, which is 17 years old, was sounding like a train, the washer was not far behind sounding the same way.  Since the parts are no longer made we knew we needed to buy a new set.  We went to Doyons appliance.  With all the back orders due to the pandemic, we were so pleased our the sales staff helped us find a washer dryer that could be delivered by January 2, 2020.  The prices at Doyons are comparable to the big box stores.  The experience was easy and fun as well.  To be able to sit across a table with a knowledgeable sales person was a treat.  When we need a new stove Doyons will be the place.

Doyons is located at 15 Whistle Stop Way, Gloucester, MA  01930, 978-283-0783.

 

 

 

 

Motif Monday: Steeplechasing #GloucesterMA

When the light falls just so on St. Ann’s steeple and Our Lady of Good Voyage domes– thin glints, shimmering, or all out beacon beaming– I try to pull over.

Update Regarding Mini Lobster Trap Trees from Our Friend Bex

Posted on by Pat D

LAST CALL! Order MiniLobsterTraps NOW for Xmas delivery.Hey there folks. It’s Bex here. I am writing this post for PatD to post on my behalf. Thank you so much for your support of my handmade mini lobster traps! I just participated in a very successful pop-up shop with my peeps at Hold Fast Company and Cape Ann Sea Salt. But I know it was geographically unavailable to many of you who follow GMG.
My inventory is currently low but my website correctly reflects orders I can fulfill by Wednesday December 16 so they can arrive within the critical Christmas Day window. International orders are not possible at this time.
If nearby, you can select “Local Pick-Up” for no shipping costs. I have found Lobsta Land on Rt 128S is an ideal location for a hand off. Stay safe and healthy. Wear a mask.
{tight} *virtual* hugs Best, Bex
