It is now, really, offically summer, no matter what the weather.
Happy Independence Day!
Our crew has arrived in Wainscott for the summer! Once again we have a great, interesting mix. The eldest daughter of one of our oldest friends! (Hard to imagine.) A friend of hers, the daughter of another nearby business owner, a college guy who summers nearby, and a teenager who we’ve watched grow up with the Wainscott shop. All along with our resident artist, of course, Aurelio, who is back. We’ll take a few weeks and introduce them, ideally before summer is over!
We’ll start this week with Mariko, who was born in Osaka, Japan, grew up in Massachusetts and goes to college in Colorado.
