My View of Life on the Dock
This post has nothing to do with the Art Haven Auction. I was Bored very early this morning. It’s located at one of favorite places to sit and meditate. When I’m not bothered by Joey who drops by once and awhile. If you want it. It was still there as of 12:30pm Saturday 01/22/2011. Goodluck!
Walking on the beach yesterday was cold enough without purposely going into the water. I don’t get it, but I sure do admire these guys’ guts.
Click on photo and enjoy the first sunrise of 2011 at Good Harbor Beach.
This may be the last “ART, ROCKS!” of the year!
Easy place to park, draw, and meditate!
Can you find it?
Good Luck!

It’s Black Friday and everyone else is “over the bridge” and “up the line” bumping elbows at the malls, but we locals can stay on the island with our wish lists. The pop-up shop(see related Times article) Present has an incredible selection of unique gifts.
Present is a seasonal art collective made up of fifteen local men and women offering a bevy of eclectic fine craft. Living, creating and recycling on Cape Ann are common themes reflected in the goods including bags made from reclaimed sweaters and recycled sailcloth. Look for jingle flounder, lovely wreaths, hand-knit hats, pottery, felted flowers and bowls, fish prints, and photographs inspired by local people and landscapes.
Delightfully unusual wares also include unique prints and collages, hand-dyed clothing printed with seaweed and other found materials, clever clothing and accessories for children, iron-pressed sandwich keepers, hand-knit wire jewelry, beautifully sewn doll clothes, and itty bitty jewels. Present is a great place to shop for pretty things and one-of-a kind gifts and ornaments.
Present is Karen Chapin, Amanda Cook, Jane Cunningham, Jessica Demarjian, Elizabeth Grammas, Frieda Grotjahn, Jill Josephson, Pam Lally, Sharon Lowe, Stephanie Mason Thibodeau, Camilla MacFadyen, Melanie Murray-Brown, Erin and Scott Place, and Mary Rhinelander.
You can visit the holiday pop-up shop at 271 Main Street, Gloucester from November 6th through December 24th, 2010.
Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6, Sunday 12-5; extended evening hours on Thursday; also open 6-9 on Men’s and Ladies’ Nights
Thanks!! —Sharon
BTW- You can get my Cape Ann calendars at Present, and for those of you who live out of town, you can order them here.

Thanks so much – the pups somehow found their way home last night on their own at 1:30am
All is good.
Two lab pups went missing Monday night after they ran off Good Harbor Beach towards the Inn. They are regulars of the beach but not the neighborhood. One is Black (F-Stella, 1yr) and the other is Choc (M-Chester, 8mo). They have tags and reflective collars.
Many thanks for all your assistance.

Last Sunday while driving around the Back Shore I decided to stop at the Elks club Parking lot and Sketch the scene before me on a Rock. Yeah, I know I’m Nuts.
I left it across the street from the Elks Club in the rocks where the Hotel has a sitting area.
I didn’t know my Son was going to bring his friends to the Elks Club to reserve it for their Wedding next year. I posted the Rock I sketched on here on GMG about 11am. I got a phone call at 2:30pm from my son Paul the III telling me they found it. They thought my Son set it up, but he had no idea what I did that morning and I had no idea what he was going to do that day. (Strange ain’t it?) after they reserved the Elks club they walked down the road to where I left the “Art Rock”
Here is the email my son sent me;

All the News Stations came to Gloucester to report on the drowning at Braces Cove.
This is about the coverage. Channel 4, 5 and 7 were all at Good Harbor Beach reporting.
I captured WBZ reporting on video.
My heart goes out to the family who lost a loved one today.
People went to the beach by Taxi, Bike and even walked. Good Harbor was crowded this weekend.
But some still found a spot to read a book in solitude.
Good Morning Gloucester
