    Larsen’s Fish Market… a Martha’s Vineyard Tradition

    by lane, Oct 8 2010

    Fall is digging in its heels here on Martha’s Vineyard. The weather has cooled, pumpkins abound, and many stores and restaurants have started to cut back their hours. One of my favorite island past times is still going strong for a couple more weeks, though. According to many, the best restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard is [...]

    The Joys of Fall on Martha’s Vineyard

    by cjrivard, Sep 10 2010

    So there you are back in what we affectionately call “the real world”. There are errands to do, kids to transport, work and obligations to fill your every hour. A pleasant fleeting memory of summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard may flicker through your mind only to be overpowered by whatever task is presently before you. [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard History Package

    by cjrivard, Aug 17 2010

    Have the kids not come up with a theme for “What I Did on my Summer Vacation”, or are you just not up to another day at the beach? The Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust, in partnership with the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, have come up with a solution to not only these dilemmas, but many others as well. [...]

    Unusual Martha’s Vineyard Pastimes

    by cjrivard, Jul 22 2010

    So many of our friends and repeat guests already know so much about Martha’s Vineyard, that I sometimes find when I’m wearing my concierge hat, that it’s difficult to come up with new suggestions for them. The beaches, nature walks, author’s talks, concerts, theater, etc. run off my tongue with ease, and they are always [...]

    Vineyard Spring Spruce Up!

    by lane, May 9 2010

    Hello to friends of the Colonial Inn and Martha’s Vineyard. I’m happy to be back at work and in the loop after a quiet winter away from everyone. The Vineyard is bustling with spring activity. All of the busy little worker ants are scurrying about getting the island ready for our 2010 visitors. Restaurants and stores [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard Winter Maintenance

    by lane, Jan 22 2010

    Perhaps the most frequent question posed to island people is, “What do you do in the winter?”.  I get the feeling that many of our summer friends have a vision of a big, domed platter cover coming down from the sky to envelop Vineyard while the locals hibernate from New Years Day until Memorial Day [...]

    Vineyard Autumn

    by lane, Nov 5 2009

    Fall is the opposite of spring. Nowhere have I seen the contrast of the two as obvious as on Martha’s Vineyard. In April, we see a world coming slowly and ambitiously to life. I’m not just talking about the overnight sensation of your brown lawn suddenly showing little patches of lime green.  I liken what [...]

    Art Galleries of Vineyard Haven

    by lane, Sep 22 2009

    Okay, art enthusiasts, now that we’ve exhausted Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, let’s move westward to Vineyard Haven, where we’ll find a different variety of galleries.  Main Street is definitely the place to be for Vineyard Haven art.  Please keep in mind that this post is the third in a series on Martha’s Vineyard art, and [...]

    A Stroll Through Arts District in Oak Bluffs

    by lane, Aug 27 2009

    Time to move our gallery stroll to Oak Bluffs. First, my apologies to all of the wonderful galleries I do not include in my ruminations. I know there are many, but I am trying to keep my selection to a literal stroll. Perhaps, in the future, I will blog about the notable artistic destinations that [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard Art Galleries – An Abundant Collection

    by lane, Aug 17 2009

    Like most people who live on Martha’s Vineyard, I wear more than one hat. I love my job here with our guests at the Colonial Inn & Edgartown Residence Club, but I also would not feel like a whole person if I ever gave up my identity as a freelance illustrator. Those of us with [...]
