Arts & Crafts On Bedford

If you are looking for the next fun event in Stamford Downtown, head over to Bedford Street for an arts and crafts festival!

The event will be happening on October 14 from 10:00-6:30. It was originally scheduled for September 9, but the weather prevented it from happening that day, and they needed to find a day that would work for all the exhibitors they were scheduled to have.  It will feature artists who make all sorts of handcrafted goods that people can buy. Bedford Street restaurants will also be offering extended outdoor patio cafes. 

One of the most fascinating exhibitors that will be there is ACKnots, a company that makes art and bracelets that are inspired by Nantucket. What makes them so interesting is that they make different types of knots in different sized picture frames. The three types of knots they offer up are Carrick knots, twisted knots, and reef knots. Their bracelets are also unique because they all have knots in them as well. 



Another exhibitor that will be there is PuzzPottery, a ceramics studio owned by John Puzzoli, a ceramicist with 17 years of experience. Much of what he makes starts on the potter’s wheel, and then he builds from that by adding hand building and sculptural techniques. What he makes includes bowls, miniatures, embracing bowls, pouring vessels, crystalline pots, vases, and mugs. His work has been commissioned by organizations, churches, interior designers, and fellow artists. 



Another interesting exhibitor that will be there is the Rustic Mermaid. It is an Etsy business that got its start during the COVID lockdown as a way for its founder Christina Callahan to relax, which then became a way to help homeless people by donating proceeds to organizations that support homeless people. What she does is she decorates shells and then sells them on Etsy for either $16 or $25. A lot of the decorated shells are sold as trinket dishes as well.

If you want to see some amazing art from these artists and many others, head over to Bedford Street in Stamford!

As you probably all remember, I have written about several malls in New York and Connecticut, and today I am going to write about another one! Today I am going to talk about the Poughkeepsie Galleria, which is a mall that has two floors, a total of 1,100,000 square feet, and a total of 105 businesses including four anchor tenants, which makes it the largest shopping center in Dutchess County. In this blog post, I will be discussing the history of the mall and the various businesses there, in hopes that it will convince all of you reading to check it out. The mall first opened on August 1, 1987, and it featured five anchor stores, which were G. Fox & Co., Jordan Marsh, Lechmere, Filene’s, and JCPenney, all of which have since closed. Several other businesses joined the mall after moving from the next-door South Hills Mall, which were Steinbach and Sears, both of which have also since closed.  I will now go over all the business that are at the mall, and I hope any or all of them...

Connecticut Beaches

Over the years, I have enjoyed going to a lot of beaches in the state of Connecticut. There are several good reasons for that, as there aren’t that many beaches here in Westchester County, and all the beaches in Connecticut that I have been to are all fun to walk along and have unique features. In this blog post, I will be writing about all the Connecticut beaches I have been to over the years in hopes that it will encourage all of you reading to go visit them. The first beach that I am going to talk about is in Milford, which is one part of the Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point. The beach itself is is 8.4 acres, provides easy access to the Long Island Sound and its many habitats, including tidal salt marshes, barrier beaches, tide pools, and coastal dunes. There are many other features here besides the beach, as 315 species of birds have been seen here, including many rarities, an osprey camera that livestreams to the entire world, and the main building there...
