Shop Local for Christmas
For gifts and gift ideas, we have so many great places to shop. Yesterday went to Cape Pond Ice and the Olive Oil store. 90% of our Christmas gifts were bought locally. Love going into the stores and the owners are there and they know your name.


Amen.
While out with three amazing friends the other night, the conversation of future “girls’ trips” arose. That conversation spun into, “If everyone would stop having new babies, maybe we could get away some time soon.”
As one of the ones who has been done “having babies” for 6.5 years and who never had desire to try for a 3rd….I’ve been ready for some girls’ weekends away for quite some time now.
That conversation led to this awesome wine glass.
Amen.

Give the Gift of Cape Ann!

Rockport: Bearskin Neck, Dock Square and on up the hill for those last minute Christmas Presents.
There were carolers this weekend but most of the stores I hit were going to be open all the way to Christmas Eve. So that pair of earrings or feather boa, salad bowl, or nutcracker, or that weird gift, the big stone thing to put in the garden and put a candle inside.
Bearskin Neck is a must but make sure you make it all the way down main street because there are gold mines of goodies all through town.
The best part is easy in and out. Rockport meters are all covered and plenty of street parking available.

Sad News
Gloucester emergency personnel were called to the wharf at Americold on East Main Street around 12:30 this afternoon after a body was found in the pilings, leading to the possibility that it could be the Rockport woman who went missing this weekend.
Family and friends of Susan Nilsson of Rockport have gathered at the scene.
Police have been searching for the 56-year-old woman since she went missing late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Some of her belongs where found in the vicinity of the Gloucester Marine Railways, on land and in the water, according to police.

Better to Give Than Receive
So proud of my students last week! They decided that it would be better to give than receive. They opted to skip the annual gingerbread house making for themselves and instead baked like crazy in class and at home. We then made a list of recipients and delivered holiday treats from Beverly to Ipswich to people whom our school is thankful for. We wish we could have made 100 more stops.
Please take a minute to watch how amazing they are!
