Set-up day today on the lawn of the Main Library for the annual best book sale ever starting tomorrow, Thursday. This is a pilgrimage for some book lovers, some of whom make it the point of their vacay. I’m a prolific contributor, and it has happened that I’ve bought back a book I’ve donated. And then, after enjoying it again, I re-donate it.
These are pottery tiles made into a mural by Tessa of Flying Pig Pottery in Woods Hole, sold as a fundraiser years ago. The mural is the welcoming entrance to the Children’s Room at the Main Library. I loved the pies flying in the sky, donated by – of course – Pie in the Sky. Still there, as is Tessa, who continues to make beautiful mugs for WCAI’s fundraisers. Thank you, Tessa!
Looks cool, I wonder how it will be used. Hurray, FPL, for winning this attention-grabber!
We walk in and out of the Main Library all the time, but have you ever stopped to read the donation bricks? Some of them are funny, some are heartwarming. Read on...
Main Street merchants went all out decorating for Halloween, with these charming stuffies and scarecrows tied and propped in front of their shops.
Which is your favorite? The one with the most votes gets bragging rights – such as they are (or should I say, humble as they are).
The first is the Black Dog.
Our newest addition to Main Street, and a personal fave. I’ve been known to take the ferry to Vineyard Haven for an hour or so at Le Roux there. You just don’t know what you absolutely need until you wander the aisles and see what there is! Welcome, Le Roux, from your #1 Falmouth fan!
This one was in the window at Le Roux.
Where else would this be but Anejo? A scarecrow with a pumpkin head and serape. And margaritas.
This little piggy is all about the #1 seller at the Pickle Jar, the PJK BBQ Pulled Pork: “House pulled pork on top of a cheddar scallion scone with house pickled red onions, BBQ sauce and smokey cheddar”.
The menu the goblin at The Quarterdeck is holding is all about spiders – roasted, fried, or sauteed.
