Again you can head on down to Alexandra’s Bread Co to buy this limited edition numbered print all framed for only $35.  That’s just ridiculous!  Make sure to tell Alexandra if you had any interest in buying a plate or set of the china if this print is ever produced in that form.

Mary Rhinelander’s Limited Edition Cape Ann Blue Willow China Design

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

There is a limited edition copy of Mary Rhinelander’s Blue Willow China Pattern Design at Alexandra’s Bread Co.

It hasn’t been made into china yet but I’m thinking that some of the finer shops in town like The Black Swan, Stone Leaf, Pauline’s Gifts or Pisces would sell the hell out of this if it were made into China to collectors or people that love the area.

Timeless, just like the stuff that comes out of the Acorn Press.  This framed, numbered, limited edition print sells for only $35 at Alexandra’s Bread Co.

Where Zat? #28

Posted on by Sharon

This week’s Where Zat may be too simple for those of you who know this area. But it could be difficult because it’s kind of generic. Anyone know for sure?

Have fun! And thanks for playing Where Zat for the last 4 months!DSC_7045 [640x480]

Where Zat? #22

Posted on by Sharon

dsc_7825-640x480This one’s tough. I would never have known where it was if I hadn’t seen it recently. Think Cape Ann. Good luck and I’ll give hints if necessary! As always, thanks for playing!

Where Zat? #18

Posted on by Sharon

where-zat-18

We’ve had this little contest going for 18 weeks! All through the winter into the SPRING!!

Last week this comment from Joe (not Joey C.): “Those that picked the Public Ramp behind GHS got it correct, from my view. Have lived on the river all my life, and that Great Blue is taking off from an old pile, that has been there the entire time.”

Can you figure out where this week’s location is? Not far off the beaten path?

Thanks for playing! Good luck!

Kindermusik for the younger kids

Posted on by Sharon

Wendy Hyatt of Rockport runs a Kindermusik program that gives children and their parents learning experiences based on movement and music for newborns to preschoolers. She was the previous owner of the Rainbow Day School in Rockport. This looks like a great way to introduce children to music and rhythm as well as meeting other families. You can find out more information on my blog for Cape Ann families at Flapping like a Haddock!
