We moved back to our beloved hometown of Gloucester, MA . It is so nice to be back again. We moved away in 1994 and 16 years later we are home! I love being by the ocean again and being able to take daily walks along the beach in the harbor and scavenging the gifts from the sea, buttons, glass, pieces of pottery and stones. I love the beach stones with all their different colors and shapes and I like to cover them in crochet! Read Full Story
