Angel Assist Program

Starting in 2020, each month we will be partnering up with a different non-profit for our “Angel Assist” program. With this program, we will donate a certain percentage of our sales for one month to these non-profits. Starting in January, we are happy to announce our first partnership with HAWC. This amazing program provides services to victims of domestic violence, and can be found in 23 different cities and towns in Massachusetts! If you know of a local non-profit that could benefit from some assistance, please contact us at angelwingscbd@gmail.com.

Heading out from the State Pier

At the State Pier on a cloudy Monday watching this fishing boat leave the safe harbor.  The sign that states danger rocks, also makes you think about how dangerous it is for our fishing vessels to fish everyday.

Sherry’s Corner Cafe

If you have not been to Sherry’s Corner Cafe, 2 Lexington Avenue, Magnolia, Gloucester, MA  01930, 978-525-2177, you are missing out.  I love the professor, chopped avocados, chopped tomatoes, scrambled eggs,  turkey bacon and wheat toast make my day.  Her menu is wonderful for breakfast and lunch so yummy.

HOLIDAY SPECIALS AT MAC FITNESS GLOUCESTER!

Thanks to the people that bought my prints I bought all new audio gear for taping the GloucesterCast

All our guests will have their own mics on mic stands and it will be routed through an audio mixer for the live stream.

Plowing it right back in to try to make the blog better all the time. So thanks for supporting my work and know that I’ll keep working to bring improvements for you, our viewership!

LAST CHANCE TO SEE HAMMOND CASTLE DURING THEIR “DECK THE HALLS” EVENT -WITH ROOMS BEAUTIFULLY APPOINTED FOR THE HOLIDAYS BY LOCAL FLORISTS AND LANDSCAPERS INCLUDING ANNISQUAM LANDCARE, CHAPMAN’S, LINDA BROWN, HARBORSIDE INTERIORS, AND AUDREYS

Don’t miss this magical (and first annual newly reinstated) “Deck the Halls” holiday event at Hammond Castle. Each of the main rooms of the Castle has been exquisitely decorated by local florists and landscapers, and also draws from the Museum’s own vintage holiday decorations that had been packed away several decades ago.

“Deck the Halls” is just one of the many events designed to engage the greater Cape Ann community. Linda Harvey, the Museum’s Executive Director, and her staff, are transforming Hammond Castle, from a sleepy museum into a vibrant member of the Cape Ann arts and culture institutions.

“Deck the Halls” is open daily through the week, from 10am to 3pm, closing on Friday, December 20th. Plus, if you stop in at the gift shop and purchase an item in an amount greater than $20.00, admission to the Museum is FREE. This is a wonderful deal because the gift shop is chock-a-block full of unique, castle-by-the-sea inspired presents, especially for the youngest on your holiday gift list.

*Note- The nutcrackers are handmade in Germany, not Chinese factory made.

Thank you to Mayor Sefatia for the suggestion not to miss the exhibit, and to bring bring my camera along so our readers will also want to pop on over 🙂
