POP GALLERY WELCOMES YOU BACK TO CAMP!
The girls from POP Gallery were at Bodin Historic Photo, for a Spring photo shoot of new clothing by our top selling screen printed brand, CAMP!
There are new designs available, including a LOBSTAH! (Captain Joey… we’re lookin’ at YOU!)
Come to POP and try one on! Vintage button down shirts for the buoys, vests, and super soft hoodies for the gulls!
Peggy Russell, owner of Pop Gallery and one of the founders of CAMP is pictured here sporting some GMG love and love for our dear friend, Fred!
And, of course… everyone’s favorite “IT” girl and Pop Gallery’s youngest employee, Andromeda Lammott, was there as well! These two got up to some crazy shenanigans in Fred’s windows, to drum up some business with their “live mannequin” act!
As you can see above, Andromeda is seen here wearing the new CAMP hoodies with screen printed sea horse design!
Come to Pop this weekend, rain or shine and get outfitted for Spring and Summer! Trust us, you’ll be glad you did once that warm weather kicks in!

Frenchman’s Pier
Frenchman’s Pier
How sublime it would be to have lived here as a child;
to amble out on Frenchman’s Pier to cast a line,
or, in the early morning, hear the tide softly
brush the marsh grass of the Little River’s gentle shores.
Oh, what it would have been like to take my skiff
to explore Susan Point and Stanwood Point
and keep going beyond Biskie Head into the
Annisquam – and from there – from there, anywhere!
A place where I could steer a course in a summer breeze
that never ends and see foreign lands and
mountains and magical islands, all while on
my back, gazing up from Frenchman’s Pier.

Because It’s Hump Day…
Introducing my friend (and soon to be yours), The Incredible Dancing Skate. If you’ve never been to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, NH and need another reason to get yourself up there….well, here it is. This guy…or girl (because how the hell would I know….although I’m sure someone is going to tell me) makes me laugh every time we see it. Is it possible that it has knees and ankles??
Other than that, I have no words. Happy Hump Day.
