That Nutty Redhead @ the Essex Farmers Market Holiday Festival

We had a very nice time at the Essex Farmers Market Holiday Festival held at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum in, where else, Essex. We had quite a crowd for the 4 hours the market was open. Thanks to Alison and Hunter for inviting That Nutty Redhead. And it was great to once again see some of the merchants we've come to know working the various farmers markets this past summer. 

The following photos are from todays market. Some by me, and others by Lisa. Oh, the snowfall was delicate and lovely. Just enough to be beautifully nostalgic effect on me, made all the better by the rustic construct of the shipyards buildings.

See U next Saturday at the Cape Ann Farmers Market Holiday Festival :)

P.S. the fudge flew off the table. Winners both.

Farewell Dear Friend

If I may say so myself, another fine composition from the good old days. Farewell Dear Friend was captured with my, now retired, Olympus point & shoot in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. It's brimming with emotion; and I should like to think, typical of my body of work. Thanks for looking.

Treasures Pt. 1

Lisa and I had a great time yesterday filming the first, of what we hope to be many, TREASURES programs for All Things Victorian. And it goes something like this...
Lisa received an email from a good friend and fan, Kim Sliney, alerting Lisa that she (Kim) had a stack of Victorian & Edwardian clothing that she would like to give Lisa. Finally, last Sunday a hole appeared in our schedule, and we thought that it might be just the time for a short ride to Belmont to meet with Kim, and to pick up the precious goods. We were not disappointed. We were so pleased that we thought it might make for a very interesting program, or two, if we were to open the boxes for the viewers, then permitting Lisa to do what she does best, describe each article as it appeared.
It was a smashing success, we thought. I set a high back chair by the fireplace and threw a log on. Lisa brought in a cup of tea, and I let the cameras roll.
I'll work on the two shows this week, so I do hope to have them on air shortly. You won't be disappointed.

P.S. We just received a call from another Lady that wants to donate her family collection to Lisa. We're going over to take a gander this Sunday. 

P.S. P.S. Keep'm coming!

A Sled Riding We Will Go

If there's a photo that delivers me to the doorstep of my youth, it would be this one. The merry winters of days gone by were actually fun. As the maintenance men shoveled out the schools of my youth, I went sled riding down a rather long and adventurous hill by the Whitestone Bridge. Sledder beware was the word on the street, as it ended at the waters edge. Thankfully, I never combined sled riding with snorkeling. 
There was also a fine piece of real estate on 21st Ave. and 149th Street. It was short and sweet and steep! And close enough to home for lunch and a little TV.
