This Nia routine is all about flexibility and strength to music from movies, not musicals, but movies whose soundtracks have become iconic.

Tour Of The Schooner Thomas E Lannon Workshop Getting Ready

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Schooner Lannon 2020 Season Update We hope this message finds you well. Due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic, our sailing season is going to start later than usual. We will be waiting to hear more information from our state and local government on when it is a safe time to operate. We are currently working tirelessly to get the boat in tip-top shape (with masks and plenty of social distance, of course). Typically, we would start our sailing season on Mother’s Day weekend. However, at this time, we anticipate opening in late June and sailing with limited capacity for the safety of our guests and our crew. Safety is and always will be the most important thing to us. We plan on exceeding the recommended guidelines, and will be sending another update about what precautions we will be implementing. We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to being able to sail with you soon. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone out there who is doing their part, especially those on the front lines putting themselves at risk for all of us. We are truly grateful, and look forward to better days when we can all come together again. Take care, and best wishes.

Oriole Sighting!

Posted on by Pat D

Captured my first Baltimore Oriole of the season in the backyard this morning, right on time as they are expected to return the first part of May. We have also sighted a hummingbird, but the camera operator wasn’t on top of her game at that fleeting moment. Welcome back orioles and hummingbirds. What a great treat first thing this Sunday morning!

It’s Go Time For The Birdies

Property Sales: April 2019 vs April 2020

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Kenny MacCarthy's avatarCape Ann Home

The chart shows the MLS statistics and roughly half as much Cape Ann real estate traded in April 2020 as in April of 2019.

But the story isn’t quite as grim. The good news is that it can still happen, even with our current restrictions in place, because some people really want to sell and some really want to buy.

Mother’s Day Arts Abound

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

As Mother’s Day approaches, I am reminded how quickly the world continues to change. I hope you are all staying as well as you can, mentally and physically. The sad news in our world continues to come but I am trying to stay hopeful that a vaccine is coming soon and that when the crisis is over, that we will have all learned to be kinder and more forgiving to each other.

Arts Abound has been busy in our new role as face mask makers! Just today, Massachusetts’ Governor Baker stated that those folks who are not able to socially distance must wear a mask, or face a $300 fine. We expect to continue our posts at our sewing machines! We continue to donate some masks to help front line workers as well as selling them.

Our masks make a wonderful and colorful gift for Mother’s Day. Think of giving them to your mom, or maybe your dog mom, or the woman who you treats you like a mom, or maybe the mom who looks after your kids. What better way to say that you care than wanting to keep someone safer? I believe that we will each need a few masks, as the pandemic continues, so that we can have one at home, one in the wash, one in the car, and one to give to someone who doesn’t have a mask.

You can choose from the following themes: floral, abstract, juvenile, solid, or neutral. At $15 each, these masks are a great way to be fashionable and safer. You can pick them up curbside at Arts Abound or we can ship them for you for a small extra charge. Working with us is a great way to support local artists and to help our shop pay the rent while we are temporarily closed by the state.

I want to thank all of you wonderful customers for your outpouring of support during this difficult time. It has meant more to me than you can imagine…

Stay safe and sane.

Hugs to you all,
Sue Wheeler, owner
