Summer is over, so there is more music making coming your way than there has been the last few months. News landed in my inbox today from two friends about upcoming concerts. I hope you’ll find time to attend.

Teri is getting this out of her system now
Teri is one of the most photogenic people I’ve ever met. She’s also incredibly good at mugging for the camera and she’ll pose with just about anything. Seriously.

Prospecting in New Hampshire
Geoff and I have wanted to go panning for gold or gem hunting for a long time. I have had the bug for a particularly long time since I’ve been reading about gems and minerals since I was a wee geek. As yesterday we both had a rare Saturday off at the same time, Geoff planned a day in NH where we could go gold prospecting. Yep, there’s gold in those granite hills.
From the lips of the Dowager Countess
Yes, it’s true, folks. For the first time in well over a year, I have a Saturday and a Sunday off. In a row. I have a weekend.
Trip to Newport, RI
My Uncle Paul and Aunt Pauline had their 50th Anniversary party this past weekend at the same place where they were married all those years ago. The name of the venue has changed, but the place is still there: OceanCliff.
It was the first time that I had been to Newport since high school, I think. And Kelly had not been there herself in at least a dozen years. So we both managed to get the day off in advance so we could go.
Meravelha this Friday August 23- 8:00pm
Meravelha to perform at IBERICA Early Music Festival in August
On August 23rd, the members of Meravelha will be presenting an all-new show “The Road Most Traveled” at the IBERICA Early Music festival to be held in Boston.
The Road Most Traveled features music from several stops along the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and explores the both the lighter and more ponderous aspects of the religious journey, culminating in the celebration of arrival.
ASSEMBLED Artist Market tomorrow in Somerville!
Come see me tomorrow in Somerville! I’ll be back at ASSEMBLED. We had a great time last time and the weather should be great again.
My friend Kirby will be joining me again with her fantastic handmade bracelets and ear jewelry. WBZ radio is also covering the event and there’s even a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to certain vendors like Singing Stones Jewelry. Ahem.
Hope to see you there!

Cooking is too much fun.
I have been cooking historical recipes for many years, mostly stuff from 18th and 19th century America. I like cooking anyway, and as a historian I find that sort of thing interesting on several levels. More recently I have been trying to make medieval recipes, and so for the last few years I have started picking up some medieval cookbooks and reading some stuff online about it. It seems a lot more difficult, I think. And although I have managed to successfully make a few things (this spinach tart turned out really well, I think), I have just not found a lot of medieval recipes that really made me want to try them.
Until a few weeks ago, when Kelly got me A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook.
Learn something
So Shakay sent us a link to Mental Floss. This is a website I’d heard of but not spent much time on. After reading a couple of things, one of which was about Bronies in the Air Force, I think I’ll be visiting there more regularly.
Summer Jewelry Shows!
I have some shows coming up. This weekend and next I’ll be vending at ASSEMBLED and SLAM respectively. It should, hopefully, be a nice weekend so come on out this weekend and see me out by the Mystic River. Next weekend I’ll be in Davis square while Artbeat is going on so there will be lots to see.
Clickie to embiggen the graphics.
I have new stuff and a bunch of new vintage things on offer. Hope to see you there!
