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.
