I woke up thinking that today was the perfect day for my annual trek up to Chilmark Chocolates for Christmas presents.  Imagine my surprise when I found out it was already closed for the holiday. WHAT! I get chocolates every year for my relatives. Chilmark Chocolates Already Closed? First of all, how can Chilmark Chocolates be...

Parkside Market you wonder?  It’s the new sister restaurant to Vineyard Haven hotspot, Waterside Market.  Yes, Susan and Stephen Bowen are taking this favorite lunch spot of mine over to the mainland, 281 Main Street to be exact (the old Artie’s Cafe space).  I love that both of their eateries are on Main Street...

We’d like to thank Leslie Floyd for bringing her family’s special family of bears to the Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite this year. Their “Three Bears” were literally out of the fairy tale, with a momma bear, a pappa bear and baby bear. The three cuddly grizzly bears were a big crowd hit at this year’s Teddy Bear Suite fundraise...

For years, we had been waiting for Cafe Moxie on Main Street in Vineyard Haven to re-open.  Knowing that there were new owners, everyone was curious.  In October, it finally opened its new doors.  Of course I was excited, and was thrilled to meet the Chef Willy Wannamaker.  Chef Willy is a classically trained Fr...

I can’t Bear it.  It’s the final day of the Teddy Bear Suite.  If you haven’t stopped by, today is the day!  We’ll be there from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.  It seems as though the weekend of Christmas in Edgartown goes by so quickly, and I never get to do all the things I want to. I didn’t make a wreath at Donaroma’s this...

Today begins the second day of the Teddy Bear Suite.  Yesterday, dozens of people visited the Suite, room 201 at the Harbor View, and shared in the holiday magic.  Children went from room to room meeting all the bears, sharing hugs and enjoying the splendor surrounding them.  The teddy bears made a lot of people happ...

Before the doors open this afternoon at the Teddy Bear Suite in the Harbor View Hotel, we invited a couple little tykes to come and help us make sure that it was ready for the crowds.  If these cuties liked it, we knew were set for Christmas in Edgartown. The look on the faces of the little ones was priceless.  Every...
