Tonight we’re celebrating the last days of summer with ice cream from Wilbur’s in Scituate and fishing with Captain Rick who’s biz card reads “burn fuel..kill fish.” And we’re listening to the musical sounds of Erika Alsen. We first met her at the Tinker’s Son in Norwell singing country songs. She’s bringing her guitar and entertaining us tonight.
So tune in….
If you’ve watched Aladdin you know the magic of finding a genie lamp at the open air market in Agrabah!
Well..you might not find a magic lamp here (or atleast one with a genie)…but you will find just about everything else….hand-crafted accessories….original art….indie designer clothing….a fresh loaf of bread…..painters…..sculptors……photographers…..jewelry designers…..milliners…….handbag designers……house wares…..florists…..bakers……local farmer’s produce and more (it changes every week). You might even spot celebrities like John Malkovich if your lucky. The SoWa team says he loves it!
Located at 460 Harrison Ave, Boston, every Sunday from 10-4pm…
And new this season are the parade of gourmet food trucks that rotate from the cupcake truck (where Lisa Azizian will be hanging out!) to a veggie truck. Apparently all the hip restos have food trucks. Who knew?
Check them out online at http://www.sowaopenmarket.com and in person! I’ll be there this Sunday rain or shine.
You can’t eat them, but you wish you could. They smell that yummy! Like the list of soaps she creates….the chocolate soap, or the fresh apricot, fresh blueberry, fresh cucumbers and Honeydew Melon, Lavender & Thyme, Cinnamon & Ginger, Peppermint & Tea Tree and Forest fresh. The list is way longer!
We spoke with Pam Tand, the owner of Stambry’s Crescent Moon Soap Company, started because her daughter had allergies to most commercial soap products. “They call me the mad scientist!” she laughed because I’m always cooking up a new recipe (of soap).”
And it’s true. If you don’t see it, but can imagine it, she’ll cook it up in her magical lab and increase the intensity until you’re dreaming about a hot bath!
His brother took the picture, in one of those arms-stretched- cell-phone-clicks and he’s the dashing chef on the left!
It’s Chef Paul Wahlberg who opened his new restaurant Alma Nove in the Hingham Launch (where the boats launches!) this summer. http://www.almanovehingham.com/
Alma is his mom’s name. Nove means nine; which just happens to be the same number of kids in the Wahlberg family. Mom’s signature is the logo. His brothers Mark and Donnie are investors and everyone friends and family turned out for the under-the-tent opening last month including a premier of Marks’ new movie The Other Guys.

True facts. And the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA is proving me right with their current exhibit called Trash Menagerie which exhibits over 30 works of art from…recycled trash. The very cool exhibit includes this fancy moth made from piano keys, light fixtures and forks – among other things!
Tonight we’re diving into all things green from solar panels to slow food. We’ll talk about recycling and resources for living a more green lifestyle here on the south shore. Check back this week for highlights from our interviews and tune in tonight @ 8 on 95.9 WATD or right here at southshorelive.com.
Recently Nayri Keverian and Arthur Iskenderian of BO LINE Boutique in Norwell joined us to talk about winter fashion. BO LINE, located at 426 Washington Street (Rt. 53, near Bejing House), is a hot boutique with a totally big plus: Arthur, a second generation tailor, not only tailors clothing but designs and creates men’s custom dress shirts and suits! Arthur’s work is amazing and BO LINE has won a Best of Boston award from Boston Magazine for his custom tailored shirts! You must check out BO LINE not only for Arthur’s specialty shirt-making but for their amazing selection of cutting-edge clothing. We were treated to a fashion show at the station and here are a few of the looks Nayri brought for us (modeled by her cousin Maryanne!).
So what’s in this season?
- Plaid is in this season – check out this hot Nutcracker-esque vest
- Studs and tassels – don’t be shy!
- Leg warmers are back! Pair em with shorty boots and leggings
- The big shirt and the big belt are hot. The big belt with a shirt dress, also hot.
- Mixing and matching lots of jewelry and jewels is the way to go. As Nayri said, “Too much is not enough when it comes to jewelry.” And there are no rules – mix those golds and silvers together! The boutique has a lot of fun jewelry too.
Visit Nayri and Arthur at BO LINE for the hottest clothing trends and all of your tailoring needs!
Wanted to wish all our listeners a happy new year! We’ve enjoyed coming into your living rooms, offices and cars and maybe a few of you who listen from the bathroom too. LOL
We’re working hard behind the scenes to come up with great new shows for 2010! So have a safe and healthy new year’s eve and we’ll see you next year!
Tucking in for the winter? You’re not the only one pulling in your herbs, drawing in your curtains, locking up your home, burying yourself under blankets, hiding inside leg warmers, cozying up with hot toddies and warm soups and generally retreating.
We all have our own hibernation rituals. And here’s a few more ideas for the hibernators in all of us.
1. HIDE AT HOME & SHOP ONLINE. Of course you might visit the usual suspects this xmas like ebay.com and overstock.com. or you might want to try these deal-at-home sites:
> woot.com who bills themselves as cool stuff cheap! (woot gets over 2 million hits according to compete.com)
> biglots.com claiming to be the nation’s largest broadline closeout retailer
Our show this week was all about animals, and specifically our family members that are non-human. In fact, Stan’s dog Isla joined us in the studio too! Video of Isla will be up shortly.
We spoke with Chey Ottoson, founder of Double Dog Rescue, to learn more about the process of adopting a dog through a rescue group like Double Dog. Double Doggies typically come from southern states like TN and are transported north with the help of dozens of volunteers. Chey and her sister Laurie started the group in December 2006 (Happy 3 year anniversary, gals!) after Chey had her first experience adopting a dog from the south. When they learned of the overpopulation, the fact that not many dog owners spay or neuter their pets and there are so many dogs in southern communities that it’s common for dogs to be euthanized they knew they had to do something.
Double Dog tries to help as many dogs as they can, but they couldn’t do it without the generosity of their many volunteers who pick up, transport and vet the animals. One job Chey is always looking to fill are volunteers to help foster the dog before they are moved to their permanent home. If you’re interested in fostering a dog please contact Chey through Double Dog’s Facebook Fan Page. You don’t have to be a dog owner and it’s ok that you work full time. You’re giving a warm, loving home to a dog that might not otherwise be alive.
Keep up the great work, Chey & Laurie!
Think the animal kingdom only exists in nature? Think again. There’s a whole world or animals online for pet owners and animal enthusiasts. Or for the occasionally curious.
Here’s our favorite animal-related sites:
