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!
The quiet of a winter harbor casts a mesmerizing spell. On my way back from Woods Hole yesterday, I detoured to Quissett to snap a shot of a friend’s home in the snow for her to enjoy while she basks in south FL warmth. The sight of the harbor was irresistible. Here’s what I saw:
While in Quissett, hiking around The Knob in winter is special in a different way from the summer. The potteries (Flying Pig, Quissett Studio Pottery) are open for a browse and that perfect mug for your valentine. Whether it’s house-roasted coffee at Pie in the Sky, or lunch/dinner at Quicks Hole, or a bracing ride on the ferry to see the “other” Martha’s Vineyard, you’ll have a memorable day!
Breathe the quiet, listen to the crows, imagine the summer life, and drink in the solitude and beauty of a harbor in winter.
