Arts & Entertainment
It’s cold out. Snow flurries have been sighted. Perhaps a big dump is on the way. The more mild-mannered of us, let’s face it, the majority of us, take this as a sign to head indoors each evening to wrap ourselves in a snuggie and sit by the fire.
Wussies. Housecats. City slicker softies. Might as well head to Florida with the other snowbirds.
But there is an alternative for those who want to get in touch with their inner Farley Mowat.
Cozy and Sexy
Trunk show with designs by Stina Sayre is at Sweet E’s at 18 Main street in Vineyard Haven. Shop for soft Merino sweaters lined in silky cotton, whisper thin wools, sexy leather vests, the list goes on.
The holiday shop is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through Monday, Dec. 20. For more details, call 508-560-1011.
There is a holiday benefit sale taking place at the Persian tribal rug gallery at 18 State Road in Vineyard Haven just a few doors up from Educomp.
Martha’s Vineyard may be 2,550 miles from Christ Roi, Haiti, yet the distance will be bridged with the Vineyard’s Haitian Celebration, a gala event that will raise funds to help get the Port-au-Prince neighborhood back on its feet after a series of devastating events. Throughout a ruinous earthquake, cyclone strikes and a cholera outbreak, the residents of Christ Roi have maintained a spirit of resilience and optimism.
