Did you choose a FREE sterling silver spoon THEN? Shop Small 1952 #GloucesterMA Art Jewelers gift for GHS graduates

Posted on by Catherine

In 1952*, Art Jewelers on 117 Main Street (now Unwind) in Gloucester, Massachusetts, offered GHS female graduates a FREE sterling silver teaspoon in a pattern of their choice.

Pauline Bresnahan writes about a great conversation she had with her mother this week:  “We were talking about running a small business on Main Street today compared to when she was growing up here. She told me about the following story which I had not heard before. My Mom Graduated GHS in 1952. Art Jewelers on Main St. offered each Female Graduate a FREE Sterling Silver teaspoon in a pattern of their choice. My Mom picked Blossom Time, an International Silver Co. pattern. She and my Dad were married in 1953 and by then purchased 7 more teaspoons. They were gifted more place settings as a wedding gift.”

Other businesses catered to students, too. Gloucester Pants Co. at 211 Main Street advertised “special rates to students” in the yearbook. Nichols Candy and Luncheonette was across the street in 118 Main Street, where Franklin is now. There were several jewelers on Main Street. (Pauline worked at Blanchards and remembers her boss taking them to Cameron’s for celebrations.)

*How many possible spoons? The GHS1952 senior class size looks to be  > 250 inyearbook.

Treat not trick – fantastic massage at Luna Day Spa #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

Thanks to a generous spa gift package, I was lucky to book a relaxing and therapeutic massage with Julie at Luna Day Spa in Gloucester this Halloween. Before this terrific massage I was feeling a bit of shooting pain down my leg and was barely able put a sock on my right foot. What a treat to leave feeling so much relief! Plus I’m grateful they honored an old gift certificate with no hassle whatsoever.   Luna Day Spa is located at 33 Bass Avenue (across from Sullivan Tire)
