If you’ve ever visited Martha’s Vineyard, chances are you’ve been to Mocha Motts in Oak Bluffs to get coffee or a bite to eat. Celebrating its 20th year, Mocha Motts is closing its door March 26th at the end of the day for two, maybe three weeks of renovations. I stopped by to see if I could find out some of the details, and was lu...

For the second year in a row, the Oak Bluffs Library has hosted a Library Mini Golf fundraiser. How is this possible you might wonder? Well, a company, Library Mini Golf, comes in and designs and creates an actual 18 hole mini golf course in the library. I had missed last year’s event, but was determined to go the Friday night...

The annual dance for the coveted advance car ferry reservations to Martha’s Vineyard for the peak summer months is underway. Beginning this morning, the Steamship Authority is now taking reservations for May 14 through October 14, 2014. Don’t be surprised if the website is a little slow. Online traffic is always busy on day one, as...

Have you met Nettie Kent? If not, I bet you’ve seen her creations. This lovely, talented Island girl (born and raised) is a rising star in the jewelry world. In 2007 after college, Nettie started making jewelry while living in New York City. Through trial and error, she began creating pieces that really spoke to her. Of course peop...

So I was supposed to be writing about an awesome Islander today, but I am completely distracted by my activity of the day – sledding!  Hercules was gracious enough to actually produce enough snow to enjoy, and it was awesome. Friday was way too cold for my little ones to stray far from home, and Saturday I had to work, so we w...

Ah, winter has finally wrapped its cold arms around Martha’s Vineyard, and that means that a number of businesses have closed their doors until spring (now also including Cafe Moxie). But a pleasant surprise has come to Vineyard Haven. Tisberry Frozen Yogurt is now offering lunch Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Of course ...

Ok it took me almost a decade to visit the famous Dumptique in West Tisbury. I can’t tell you why it took that long. I’ve had friends find amazing things, and even bring me things, but I was yet to venture to this Vineyard hot spot. Maybe it was because I didn’t quite know what to expect, or maybe it was because it was always close...

The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite raised $10,164 for the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club’s After School Program!  That’s over $2,500 more than last year’s total of $7,600. The Teddy Bear Suite has proven again, that it is so much more than a place where holiday memories are made. It’s an event that gives the ...

With our goal of $10,000 for the Boys & Girls Club After School Program in such close reach (we have $9,800+), we wanted to take a moment to thank the many people who supported the Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite. Without the help of so many, this magical, community event would not be possible. The MV Boys & Girls Club T...

The ladies have gotten together a great group of Vineyard artists for a night of joy, pampering and shopping. This year the event will b...
