After the Snow

Lots of snow to shovel today...

seemed to be about 14 inches.

By late afternoon, we were able to get out for a little ride

to look at the ocean...tide was low and it was very cold!

Drove through town..the lights are so festive...

Especially in Dock Square...

Prelude

'Twas the morning of the Christmas Prelude in

Kennebunkport as we followed 

the Rockin Horse Stables Wagon

into town.

 

Wow, the town was packed with people and traffic...

It was snowing lightly throughout the day

as people strolled and shopped,

some wearing festive hats!

Away from the hubbub, it was so quiet...

a lobster boat could be seen coming in...

 

 

 

 

 

Brrr,

 

 

 

 

We rode over to Cape Porpoise and caught a glimpse

of the lighthouse as snow softly fell.

 

 

Prelude

Friday evening I set up my display for the Holiday Fair
at the Consolidated Elementary School in Kennebunkport.
I am in the hall and how appropriate that "The Cat in the Hat"
is peering out from behind my display with a big WELCOME!
(The walls are covered with school children's posters and art for it
is a school!)

The tree lighting ceremony took place
while we were setting up but afterward
we took a ride through town to see
more people than in the summer,
bustling around, many wearing unusual and
comical hats for the occasion.
The tree sparkled!

Busy Days

Kennebunkport is celebrating the Christmas Prelude
this weekend ... the tree is in place and shopkeepers
are in the process of decorating with lights.

I am preparing for a Holiday Fair
on Saturday December 3rd at the Consolidated School in Kennebunkport
from 9 am. to 3 pm.
Stop by if you are in the area (I'll be in the hall).

Burning the midnight oil!

Prelude Weekend, Kennebunkport

This past weekend was the Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport.
We were part of the first Prelude 29 years ago when we had our
gallery and enjoyed many more for about 23 years.
Now that my studio is off the beaten path my
visible presence at the Prelude is to be in a craft fair.
I also have some art in the Whimsy Shop in Dock Square and
my studio is opened for those who would like to visit!
(Call or e-mail for directions!)

The Craft Fair was at the Consolidated School on Saturday.
After setting it up on Friday night we drove through
Dock Square...

...very festive with sparkling lights everywhere!



After finding a parking spot in front of our first gallery
in the Lower village on Sunday, we wandered over to
Dock Square and poked our heads into some shops.


It was very cold and gray!

The Clam Shack was closed for the season.

The bridge pigeons took to the air...

The crowds of Saturday had thinned out...

The road was cleared for Santa's arrival by Lobster Boat...

Santa's Lobster Helpers waited by the tree...

The simplicity and tranquility of the beach at sunset
was very soothing!


In the evening we had the pleasure of attending
a wonderful Party
and I met the sweetest dog named Maisie.

Busy Times

It's a busy time of the year...
a craft fair tomorrow during the
Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport
has taken up much of my time preparing
and packing for it.
If you are in the Kennebunkport area,
stop by...it's at the Consolidated School on
School St. (Rte 9) in Kport.

More soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Busy Time

It is the "Christmas Prelude" weekend in

Kennebunkport.

I will be posting more soon...been very busy!

Snow

Tuesday morning and a light snow is falling,
soft and quiet after a busy weekend.

The Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport
took place over the weekend.

A light snow softly fell on Sunday.

Santa arrived by lobster boat.

Here's some photos from a balcony in Dock Square
on Sunday afternoon of December 7th.



Have you ever seen Santa's helpers
that are red lobsters?
