I’m proud to introduce to you a newcomer to our blues pile: Mr. Tim Gartland. Citizen, Harpist, and singer deluxe, I’ve had it on good account that he’s the man, and I’m really looking forward to squeezing out some blues with him as boss. Come cheer him on! I’ve corralled Mr. Jon Ross, meat-tearing guitarist from the boonies of Maine to serve as travel consultant. Mr. Jeff Casper, the friendly drummer will be serving canapés and queues. I’m bringing the Diaperine®.

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!
Pop Gallery is located at 67 Main Street. And please take a minute to like our facebook page as well to keep up to date on what’s new in the shop!
Thursday is TBT~ Throwback Thursday on Facebook. Every week I look forward to the dozens of old photos posted. Today while working on a Sweet Sixteen Surprise for our twins latter this summer I came across some priceless old photos of friends and family at a few of our past Annual Palm Sunday Easter Egg Hunts/Brunch’s, that I just had to share! A few children in the photos have already graduated from college, others are graduating from college this year, many from high school, and dozens are currently completing their sophomore year of high school now…to all our friends and family…I hope you enjoy this journey back in time!

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.

Come by Rocky Neck Saturday or Sunday morning for a great Sailor Stan’s breakfast. Now open weekends at 7:30am.
If you’re there later and see my open flag (I will not be open at 7:30!), stop up and see Hobbit House Studio (right behind Sailor Stan’s at 1 Wonson Street, through the purple door and up the stairs).
