The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Henri Smith on Saturday, May 28 from 11:00am to 1:00p.m. as part of the first annual Harbortown Arts Festival.  Smith, a jazz musician, will perform outside in the Museum’s courtyard. This program is free and open to the public. For more information please call (978) 283-0455 x10 or email info@capeannmuseum.org.

Smith was born and raised in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans, and began his career polishing his sophisticated and dramatic vocal delivery at a young age. Today he thrills audiences with his New Orleans Jazz, Blues, Creole and Cajun flavored music touring extensively throughout the United States and Europe.

Hurricane Katrina took his home in New Orleans and he moved to Cape Ann, where he now lives and shares his Creole and Cajun heritage.

Bring a friend or bring a lunch to this mid-day concert and enjoy an all-star performance.

Since Fiesta is right around the corner (26 days to be exact!)  I thought someone might be looking for a momento or Father’s Day Gift for the Fiesta Fanatic in their lives.   I have a few sets of these left.  They are 4×4 coasters, with cork backs.   The set is $39.95.   If you are interested shoot me an email at shutterbythesea@comcast.net.    I’ll be working on putting up some Fiesta photographs on my website this weekend so if you want to check it out you can find my work at www.shutterbythesea.com.   All my printing is done locally by the awesome James and Anna at Cape Ann Giclee so check out their site as well!

I seriously needed a new key chain.  My commander was just that much taller than my new car and I’ve discovered…over and over again, each time I get behind the wheel…that my keys now actually whack me in the knee the entire time I drive.

So, as I often do when looking for something particular and yet original, I took to Etsy.

I custom ordered my color block “sun, sand, sea, and salt” key chain and it came in the mail yesterday.  Love.

They’ll deliver bikes to you. Perfect!
