My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey,
Tom and Lisa from the amazing “LOBSTER POOL” restaurant have been coming into the store for many years purchasing flags. This year after no luck finding a pre-made lobster flag for the restaurant I offered to paint one for them.
Should be flying there this weekend. It was a lot of fun creating this for them.
I think after this hand painting flags will be a new item for the shop.
Thanks and hope to see you soon.Pauline Bresnahan

From 6-7PM guests will be invited to view the new show, meet the artists and cast their vote for the “Viewer’s Choice Award,” sponsored by Hershey Frame Shop. Votes can be cast through July 30th.

You can go to Glazed where 200 tiles have been pre-purchased and you can design your own tile for free which will be installed on the walls of Toodeloos Toy Store at 137 Main Street once it opens Memorial Day Weekend!
A great free activity for you and your kids to make something that will be permanently installed downtown for years to come. Imagine year after year being able to pop into the store and see your child’s tile on the wall as they get older!
What a great idea.
Here’s the info for Glazed-

I’m not sure if they are making it a regular thing every Sunday morning but perhaps Debbie will give us the details. You may recognize the goofy looking guy in the picture directly below as our very own Cape Ann Painter- Paulie Walnuts.
I have ongoing classes scheduled for this year, one for drawing and one for painting.
Good Morning Gloucester
