Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, I love to wear scarves. Let’s face it, they’re an easy way to dress up an outfit, hide something, and an accessory you can have a little fun with. When I saw these really cool scarves made out of wool when out the Summer, I had to discover where they came from. After a little Facebook and Instagram r...

Last year, I missed the Martha’s Vineyard Sound – Indie Music Festival, but am determined to not make the same mistake again. So, I thought it would be a good idea to meet with the music festival’s producer, Phil DaRosa to find out more about this event that’s full of local and national musical guests. The Scottish Bakehouse was th...

Since they were kids, good friends Alex Nagi (chef/partner – Copper Wok and Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company) and Chris Zakak wanted to find a business to do together. Two years ago, they decided to embark on it — and within that time, they came up with it. What is it you might wonder? Well, it is it Organic, c...

Chances are if you’ve been to Oak Bluffs Harbor recently, you’ve noticed a pirate ship. Your eyes are not deceiving you.
