Did someone say "Yummy?"
I’ve always thought the taste of fresh melon was sublime. Really. Not so much the everyday watermelon, but always the farm fresh cantaloupe. Then my tastebuds were convinced I was correct and on to something when I tasted a mix that pushed the “sublime”-ness of cantaloupe even further. While breakfasting at the Delano hotel in Miami Beach about 10 years ago (my default...

Surfer/Designer Tracy Feith is now local!
When we lived in NYC, Nolita designer (and handsome blonde surfer guy) Tracy Feith was all the rage.

While we don’t condone the use of hallucenogenics, we must remember that this is Shepherdstown and well, we...

Here’s your chance to view two birds with one stone at the BEST gallery around - The Bridge. Owner Kathryn Burns has brought...

Orla Kiely on sale locally!
For all you design hounds, this post is a heads up that the Orla Kiely collection is on the clearance rack at your local Target (Hagerstown). Locally, I’ve seen some Orla products in the window of The Skin Care Shop. Of course Anthropologie has featured her delicious (and anthro-expensive!) wallpapers on their site from time to time. So when the Kiely collection for Target was announced...

New digs for Mellow Moods
Have you never been mellow? Well, get in line. The new seriously gorgeous Mellow Moods is open for business and the cafe habitues of Shepherdstown couldn’t be happier. We’ve always been a huge MM fan but on a day that felt so Big Sur or Carmel, Mellow Moods opened their doors just two doors down from their old shop. And we’re ecstatic! Phil and Shanna Mastrangelo run a lovely business and...
