After a small break in January, we’re back at it, this time in time for Valentine’s Day. Geoff and I will be vending at the Somerville Local First Local is for Lovers Market at the Armory in Somerville on Sunday February 8th from 10:00am – 3:00pm. (For those of you scurrying to check your calendars, this is the Sunday after the Superbowl.)
This will be our first market with SLF since Singing Stones Jewelry became a part of Cambridge Local First. I, for one, am really excited.
We’re also going to be back showing with the ever fantastic Gravestone Girls, Erica from Esoterica and Smiley Baby Hats, Q’s Nuts, and the good folks at Next Step Living. This is, as always, a full on family event with Knucklebones there to entertain and enlighten the kids while the adults shop, listen to great music, and check out the hard cider vendor Far From the Tree Craft Hard Cider.
We really hope to see you there!

My friend Shoyo is a pretty cool guy. He’s an undergraduate student at BU, he’s got a wicked sense of style, and he’s been volunteering at HMNH since he was about 5 years old. He’s also the only thing I can think of that unites the three things listed in the title of this post.
Anyone who isn’t a moneyed plutocrat in the very tiny ruling elite here in Boston – Marty Walsh, John Fish, Charlie Baker, and Shirley Leung, I’m looking at you – likely understands that yesterday’s announcement that Boston “won” the USOC nomination for the 2024 olympics is a Very Bad Thing. The Boston 2024 group has existed for about a year and, chaired by Fish, has been trying to essentially shame the populace into believing that if we do not do this thing, invite the world to come here for a 3 week-long party 9 years from now, we’re provincial losers and that Boston isn’t fit for the world stage.
To put it bluntly, the people at Boston2024 are liars.

The Boston Mineral Club is having our annual Auction on January 10th. (That’s this Saturday for those of you following along at home.) Geoff and I are rock nerds. I’ve been a huge rock nerd since I was a kid and I’m THRILLED that I’m finally going to have a chance to go to a live gem and mineral auction in person.

With Christmas a week away there is a lot of talk of Santa, wishes, and miracles happening. This time of year can be tough for people who don’t have a lot or who want something special for someone else in their lives. I feel lucky to have witnessed two really interesting and spontaneous acts of miracle making on the internet lately that have helped me to remember that there are truly good strangers out there in the world. That’s the easiest thing to forget during this time of hustle, bustle, insanity, and chaos.
It’s that time of year again, Meravelha has a concert for you. These hardy souls are, amongst the insanity of December, putting on a concert featuring the music of the Christmas season. Twice. I’ll be at both concerts.

It’s that time of year again, crunch time for shopping for friends, family, roommates, and that annoying Office Yankee Swap. Have no fear! I have your solution.

I have two shows coming up, my last two shows of the year. The first is 11:00am – 5:00pm at First Church in Jamaica Plain. This show has been going on forever and is beloved among JP residents. Get there early, the good stuff goes fast!
Also, the good people at First Church will be doing a canned food drive as well as a drive for gloves, hats, scarves and new men’s socks for patrons of the food pantry. If you have any of those items, no other clothing items please, bring them with you to help brighten someone’s holiday.
I am really looking forward to my first show with the good folks at First Church in JP. I hope to see you on Saturday.

Then, on Saturday December 13th, I’ll be in a completely different venue and there will be free wine. That’s right, I’ll be at the Brookline Liquor Mart and there will be wine tastings all day as well as a group of local craft vendors selling all sorts of items from 1:00pm – 5:00pm.
The folks at Brookline Liquor Mart have added this Art Fair to their extensive list of December offerings. Come by and check us out. It’s sure to be a great time. And, I’ll have wine charms for sale.
I hope to see you at one or both of these great events!

December is upon us, we’ve survived Thanksgiving weekend and the Black Friday-Cyber Monday mayhem that ensued. I didn’t hear any stories about people getting trampled to death at Wal-Marts this year, but that just might be because I was working Fri-Sun and not watching the news.
To do my part to keep this month as harmonious and happy as possible, I’ve collected some tips and tricks from my own experience and from various individuals and places around the internet. Read these, learn them, and you’ll find that your shopping, dining, and general interactions with people will go better for the rest of the year and possibly into the next one.
