A Gift For You

Hello there...A new gift tag in the shop....just in time for the Holiday season!:):)

Nantucket Shop Tour Fall 2012

Welcome to my shop in Nantucket!

It is tiny but full.

When you enter through the red door on 4 Fair Street,you'll see my Christmas ornament section. There are all sorts of shapes and sizes.The most popular are the sea scallop ornaments.

Then there is the card section and Paintings and prints.

Do you remember Madame Flutterby?

This is a jewelry case that I made for bits and bobs.

The shell ornaments.

To the right of the door I have some boxes and painted rocks and another painting in a shell frame.

Now you can see where everything is to the right.

Best selling shell shard necklaces. :)

Another painting and sachet dolls on the hutch.

More boxes and picture frames. I personalize them while you wait!

The Lady With A Flowered Hat. Gouache on canvas.

Pillows with a mermaid and a pirate.

A special corner with a shadow box and paintings.

Another view.

And another!

The wee whale onesie is a big hit. Can you find it? It's like  "Where's Waldo" in shop form.

Gift certificates are available!

I like fresh and fake flowers everywhere.

More boxes.

And more boxes.

:) Hand painted children's furniture. If you'd like to see more, go HERE.

And , believe it or not, I paint everything here behind the counter in this little corner. I can't believe it myself!

Thanks for looking and stop by sometime. Email me or call if you are interested in anything.

TTFN!

Nantucket

A New ornament. I made a bunch of these today. I got a slew of buttons one Christmas from the lovely Wendy, the proprietress at Nantucket Bookworks and Mitchell's.

Life goes on. We had it pretty easy here in Nantucket, even with the flooding. Our hearts go out to the areas that were hit so hard. Stay safe, help your neighbors, and know we will get past all of this. Sending good will to everybody in need. xo

Hurricane Sandy Nantucket Part Two

Jeffrey and I went around to some of the beaches on the Island to see what was going on. It is verrrry winddddy. Here we are at Tom Nevers Beach. We saw a seal surfing! He (or she) looked like they were having a good time.

WOW! (Photo by Erin Dancik) Surf's up!

Looks like the Gazebo by Provisions and Captain Tobey's is flooded.(Photo by Lisa Hood.) 

Hulbert Ave. Near the Brant Point Lighthouse.

YIKES! It truly is WATER Street.

The Dreamland is on the right. Looking at the harbor on Easy Street.(photos by Mai Linh Norton)

WOW again..The Easy Street Cantina, Stubby's, Youngs..the "Strip" all flooded. Where's the sidewalk? The Steamship Authority would be behind you if you were looking at this picture. And it's only around 2PM.(Photo  by Angela Raynor)

 Here are some great pictures from town on Easy Street taken by Darcy Creech (Peter Beaton Studio )  HERE is another link to the Inky where people are sending in their photos. Cod Fish Park in Sconset starting to flood. 

Stay safe everyone!

Hurricane Sandy On Nantucket

Well, another hurricane, another shell. It can be daunting for those visitors that get stuck on the Island during a hurricane, so I make these souvenirs for those that brave the storm.

You may think that I am a bit of a capitolist pig...OINK!  :)

But it's like this....Stay safe everyone! I will be reporting on the events as they unfold!

Flower Pinning

I'm back into pinning now that things have slowed down...A BIT! These are from my Flowers Board.

Such inspiration! I used to save inspirational pictures in my Photoshop files and then ye ole computer crashed! My Sister told me about PINNING!

Love it!

This is one of the most popular images that I have pinned. It is like reading a magazine....with no words. (always just look at the pictures anyway) :):)

Photo credits: HERE,     HERE..... HERE  ....and HERE!

Mermaids And Rocks

A big rock in the shop!

And one with a mermaid on it.

I also have a lovely stash of mirrors for gift giving at Holiday time.

Come on by! It's the calm before the storm......:) Do you see how on the map, Nantucket is the only part on the coast NOT in red?  I wonder if it will miss us! :):)
