Sadly as of August 25th, 2018, The Cobbler Shop closed its doors. When I lived in Philadelphia, you would go to the cobbler – if your shoe broke, had a handbag that needed some TLC, etc. Moving here, it took me a while to figure out that there was a cobbler on the Island. Yesterday, I broke the tab on a pair of my favorite ank...

A little over three years ago, I wrote a story about Lauren Morgan. An Island designer who was launching her clothing line, premiering at Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week. As it turns out, that collection was a stepping stone in this designer’s evolution to where she is now. After designing her line, she was working with a consultan...

It’s always nice to be able to do something for yourself, no matter how big or how small. I recently discovered Divine Med Spa, where you can definitely find a way to treat yourself.   I have walked by Divine time and time again, always wondering. Wonder no more, I made the trip. The space is beautiful, light and airy and...

From writing about what was new with this year’s Local Wild Food Challenge, I was excited to go and experience the event. And I was not disappointed. This year, I tried a new approach. Instead of going right when the LWFC opened its “gates,” I went with my family around 1:30 p.m. My reasoning for this was because I could get lunch...

Sit. Chat. Chew. is the new mission of Park Corner Food Bar in Oak Bluffs. Note the “bistro” part is gone too. A lot has changed with the small corner bar/dining spot, and I was happy with what’s new. You’ve probably wondered why in all my blogs, I have never mentioned Park Corner. A few years back, I had an unpleasant experience ...

Can you believe it? The Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival is celebrating its tenth year! And you better believe it’s going to be even more amazing than ever, with more events, guest chefs, and more. If I were footloose and fancy free or on a girl’s weekend, this would be my dream itinerary. However, in reality I will ...

I have known Nina Carter Hitchen for a number of years from all sorts of things. This amazing mom of 6-year-old twins has slowly and consciously been evolving towards a Zero Waste lifestyle. I always get to see snips of this process, amazing pics on instagram, inspiring snack containers at soccer, but recently I learned the true br...

A restaurant doesn’t have to be big or fancy to be amazing. Sometimes, it just needs the right attitude and food to make it out of this world. Lucky for us, we have that at Red Cat Kitchen restaurant in Oak Bluffs. Since 2012, Red Cat has been delighting our palates and igniting our souls (a bit). There’s something about when you ...

The Edgartown Board of Trade is really creative with its fun events and ways to promote the town and business. A great example is the 2nd Annual Harbor Stroll that is held on the opening day of the Martha’s Vineyard Fishing Derby. The Harbor Stroll is set up along the Edgartown Harbor, by the yacht club and the Seafood Shanty...

How to say goodbye to Summer? Even though it’s not quite over, with school starting this week and restaurants already starting to close, it seems like a big dinner out with friends is a good way to celebrate all the fun that was had and the fun that is still to come. There is something so special about getting together with your gr...
