It’s shaping up to a busy Martha’s Vineyard real estate weekend here on the Island. And we’ve got a number of Open Houses that you can preview over the Columbus Day holiday weekend. We’re organizing our Open House Tours into two day, with different homes for sale on Saturday and Sunday. Here’s a look at the ...

Fall means new styles of beers from local breweries and of course big breweries too, but the local beer scene is pretty interesting this year. Bad Martha has 10 beers on tap, offering a great selection for people of all beer tastes. When I heard about Tim’s Beach Plum Ale, my interest was piqued. A stop at the Farmer’s Brewery was ...

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been to the Living Local Harvest Festival, but it was on my calendar for this year for sure. And am I glad I went. The even started at 10 a.m. at the Ag Hall in West Tisbury. We got there around 11 a.m. and what a scene already. It didn’t matter the the sky was grey and the threat of rain was...

Each October, there are a number of festivals I look forward to on Martha’s Vineyard, including the Living Local Harvest Festival, Saturday, October 4th. I like to check out the line-up of events, and see if there’s something that catches my eye, something I’d like to learn more about. This year’s festival is chock full of fun for ...

With the cooler weather, the beach is no longer a daily temptation. Don’t get me wrong if it’s 68 degrees or above, it’s top priority for the day, but that’s not the case daily. That means that there is more time to explore different places on Martha’s Vineyard. Since Fall is the harvest season, I’ve decided it’s time to explo...

Every once and a while, this girl breaks away from Martha’s Vineyard. For a September trip, I decided I wanted to go to the Adirondack Balloon Festival in Glens Falls, New York. This balloon festival happens to be the oldest and largest hot air balloon festival on the East Coast. The festival spans four days, September 18th – ...

Though I’ve written a number of blogs about Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week over the years, this is the first time I’ve attended one of the events. I was really inspired by this year’s line-up for the runway on Saturday night’s event, An Extraordinary Night of Fashion. Celebrating fashion in this way is definitely social, ...

There’s a chill in the air and Fall is upon us. With that comes Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week –  a week dedicated to Island fashion. Whether local retailers showing their buys, local artists showing their creations, or local designers with an entire collection, you’re sure to be inspired. Each year I like to see who or what i...

When people visit Oak Bluffs, there are a couple of must-do’s that are often recommend: Tour the Campground, ride the Flying Horses, and of course, get a Dirty Banana at Donovan’s Reef at Nancy’s on Oak Bluffs Harbor. Ok, well maybe it’s not in the top three, but it’s kind of a must. I introduced Donovan’s Reef to my bosses, W...
