Building Community

The project I have been working on for three years, finally came to life this week.  Designed by children, and built by the community, our playground, Puma Park, was built over the course of 5 days by about 500 volunteers.

I am now a better person for having this experience.  We not only built a playground, we built community.  For more information about community built playgrounds, visit our partner in planning, Leathers Associates.  For more information about Puma Park, please visit our website here.  And please check out our slideshow of the opening day celebration.  Have some tissues ready!

Upcoming events

The autumn and the Holiday seasons are full of fun craft shows, markets and festivals, and I just wanted to let you all know of a few that Seaside Designs will be exhibiting at.  

October 18 & 19 Wellfleet Oyster Festival.  This festival is always so much fun.  There's loads of yummy seafood and lots of amazing art from local artisans.  Check it out if you're on the Cape or even if you're not...it's totally worth it!

Coastal Christmas Open House 2007

Then it's our annual Coastal Christmas Open house over at By the Sea Driftwood Company with my dear friend Catherine.  She makes amazing driftwood and found beach treasure art and furniture.  We are doing two weekends this year, November 14th, 15th & 16th and then again December 5th, 6th & 7th.   Our products work so well together and her shop is really like a little sea cottage so the ambiance is perfect.  I'll post more info, hours, etc. soon.  If you would like us to send you an email invitation or snail mail invite, please sign up on our mailing list over on the Seaside Designs website.
