Hats Off to Flag Day

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

_2018_03_30_102862

“Flag Day falls within National Flag Week, a time when Americans reflect on the foundations of the nation’s freedom. The flag of the United States represents freedom and has been an enduring symbol of the country’s ideals since its early days. During both events, Americans also remember their loyalty to the nation, reaffirm their belief in liberty and justice, and observe the nation’s unity”

Oh Say Can You See?

Posted on by Pat D

It’s Flag Day, one of those commemorations that sometimes gets lost in the patriotic shuffle between Memorial Day and July 4th. Although a Flag Day holiday hasn’t been an official national observance very long (only since 1949), celebrations of the flag’s birthday June 14 1777 have been held since 1885. Gloucester really steps it up when it comes to flying the Ole Stars and Stripes all year round.

Unwind Hair & Makeup Broken Into Schedule and Salon Software Stolen

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Although, they managed to take all of our electronics we will not let them break our spirits here in Gloucester.

To Inn Owners or Prospective Inn/Hotel/Motel Investors: Joey’s Business Idea Proposal Number 20769- The Queen Anne Furniture Has Got To Go.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

You know how you go to an Inn and they have all that lacy doily shit and Queen Anne Furniture?  No one wants to stay in those must old joints any more.  People today want swanky more modern fresh digs when they vacation.

See this?

queenanne

If that’s the furniture you’re rocking in your Inn, it’s gotta go.  No one under the age of 76 wants to stay at a place that has the old Queen Anne furniture.

If you’re at a spot in your life where you don’t have the vision or funds to make renovations, I understand.   This is where enterprising young business-minded folk have opportunities.

So any place that has the old lacy doily Queen Anne vibe going on is inevitably getting far less in room rates than a place that could be decked out with a fresh coat of paint and updated furniture.

See this?

queenanne2

Just no.

I literally get skeeved out just looking at this place and I guarantee the upcoming generations aren’t even considering staying at a place like this.

Get all that furniture and have a dumpster fire.

You could redecorate your Inn at HomeGoods and Marshalls.  Those Fabric Covered headboards are short money, some neutral colors, some simple furniture and update the photos on your website once you’re done renovating and you go from getting $100/night to $150-$179/night easy.  It can’t be that hard to process, right?

This-

moderninn2moderninn

Nothing crazy.  Not some crazy expense.  Just not Queen Anne furniture with drapes that look like someone vomited on them.

Am I nuts here?

WE LOST TWO CHICKS TODAY

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

We’re so very sorry to write that two chicks were killed today. Catherine Ryan witnessed a terrible scene with a large dog tearing around in the nesting area at dawn, and a volunteer monitor observed one taken by a gull.All that’s left of our little GHB Pipl Family – Mama (left), Papa (right) and our two remaining chicks. 

Please volunteer to be a PiPl monitor. You will truly be making a difference in whether or not our PiPl chicks survive. And you’ll meet the nicest bunch of people. Anyone of us can show you what to do. The shifts can be as long as you like, but an hour is all we are asking. The weather forecast looks gorgeous this weekend, and it is Father’s Day on Sunday, so we are hoping to have two on at each shift. Contact kwhittaker@gloucester-ma.gov.

Please share this post and help spread the word that we need volunteers. Thank you ❤

Bex- www.capeannhandywoman.com Thanks!

She came.  She got it done. She left.

I’m happy.  Kate’s happy.

Thanks Bex.

ABOUT

You could say I’ve been preparing to be a Handywoman for over 20-years. I was raised by a single mother who instilled in me the strong ethic of being an independent woman. When I bought my first fixer-upper in Kittery ME (1996), I had my brother, who worked for a general contractor, show me how to cut and hang sheetrock and tape it with mud (aka Joint Compound). And I was hooked. I borrowed a circa-1980 Makita miter saw and I was off!

Since then, I’ve bought three fixer-uppers, and sold two of them.

You may recognize me because I worked Smith Ace (Rockport) and Hometown Ace (Gloucester) the last few years.
Now I am working on branching out on my own.

​If you follow GoodMorningGloucester (GMG), I was the FOB who secretly built and hand-painted this GMG sign. And Cape Ann Handywoman was featured in the first 10min of this GMG GloucesterCast (10/30/16).

The opening exhibit will be held this weekend at the Paint Factory, hosted by Ocean Alliance, featuring 16 portraits in pastel and colored pencil by Amy Kerr, accompanied by essays written by the portrait subjects about all the ways they are more than their struggles. The exhibit will also feature work by artists Loren Doucette, Susan B. Field, Brenda Malloy, Rebecca Siswick Graham, Donna Ardizzoni, Katherine Richmond, Ramani Rangan, Joan Keefe, Anita Pandolfe Ruchman, Sophie Trumbour, and Gloucester High School students Gianna Cabral and Kyla Snell.

On Friday evening at sunset there will be live acoustic music on the Paint Factory patio provided by Kitt Cox and Susan Wood. Come join us Friday from 7-10 pm for the opening reception, and Saturday and Sunday from 9-5 pm, and see all of the new work that has been done on the inside of the Paint Factory under the leadership of Geoffrey H. Richon Co., Inc.
