Edgartown Residence Club – what is it?
Feb 25 2011
After reading Rick’s post last month I thought I would take a little time to introduce you further to the Edgartown Residence Club. Located in what some of you will remember as the ‘porch wing’ of the Colonial Inn, Edgartown Residence Club is available for purchase as a fractional ownership. “What the heck is fractional owership?” [...]
Martha’s Vineyard’s Winter Music Scene
Jan 15 2011
“What do you do here in the winter?” – It’s a question that almost every year-round resident has been asked by a wide eyed tourist in the height of August business. The answer on the tip of the tongue for me is, “Enjoy the peace and quiet” but that’s not to say that there is [...]
Christmas on Martha’s Vineyard
Dec 16 2010
Christmas in Edgartown was last weekend and we were really getting in the spirit…here are some of the highlights! Jim, our grumbly but lovable maintenance guy claims he’s a bah-humbug scrooge but he always does a wonderful job of getting us in the spirit with his outdoor lights – I think he excelled himself this [...]
Thankful for Martha’s Vineyard
Nov 23 2010
This month I was forwarded a challenge on Facebook – for the month of November, make your daily status something you are thankful for. “No Worries” I thought and dug straight in – family, friends, good weather, my dog, my job, my upcoming trip to Scotland – all things to be thankful for. Then, this [...]
The years pass on Martha’s Vineyard
Nov 9 2010
I had to do some soul searching this month. Martha’s Vineyard seemed to be over-run with people who I haven’t seen in 6+ years – it gave me pause as I realized that, while they are all living in different cities, doing different jobs and living very different lives than they were when I last [...]
Martha’s Vineyard Memorial Weekend plans
May 23 2010
So here it comes again – the official kick off for the summer on Martha’s Vineyard – Memorial Day weekend. If you believe what “they” say, we can now wear our white clothes and sandals with pride as we enter what promises to be another fun filled summer season. It is already shaping up to [...]
Outdoor Martha’s Vineyard!
Apr 23 2010
As I write this I am looking out on a beautifully sunny spring day – I know we are all harping on about how nice spring on Martha’s Vineyard is this year but please understand – we don’t get this beautiful spring weather every year! I’m glad it is here though, as there are lots [...]
Edgartown In Spring
Mar 21 2010
The return of the sunshine to Martha’s Vineyard this week has been a very welcome sight to those who have not made it off to warmer climes this winter. I’ve talked before about the patterns of life on the Vineyard and I was reminded of more of them yesterday. I didn’t even realise that I [...]
Meet our neighbors – Bluefish Coastal Boutique
Feb 22 2010
We’ve talked before about what a great community we are part of here on Martha’s Vineyard, so it’s time for you to get to know our neighbors. If you are not familiar with our location here at the Colonial Inn, we are right smack dab in the thick of downtown Edgartown. Now, don’t panic if you [...]
Edgartown Harbor seasons
Jan 31 2010
As Lane touched on in our last post, Martha’s Vineyard is a very different place in winter than the beloved Island that most of you see only in it’s glorious summer colors. This morning, I walked up to the top of the Edgartown Residence Club wing of the building, as I do most days, and took [...]
