Off-season fun in Westport, Massachusetts
This weekend, we hopped in the car for a quick getaway to Westport, Massachusetts, for some off-season fun, and to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Westport may seem an unlikely destination for a vacation, but if you like the beach (and especially if you’re fond of seafood) it’s a fun...
Spinning and Shopping at the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival
Sarah’s mother (and Chief Fiber Arts Enabler) Nancy Hart joins for a chat about the 30th Annual Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival. The Vermont festival is always our favorite of the year. Held in our home village of Tunbridge, this medium-sized festival attracts vendors and fiber fans from around...
Montreal 2018: Road Trip Wrap-up
Our latest excursion to Montreal was a belated birthday get-away for Sarah. Her only request was to surprise her. *gulp* No pressure from her, but plenty from myself. I did my best to keep my plans from her, but I decided to let her know about at least one...

The Maryland Sheep Wool Festival is a huge event on our calendar. We had a great time at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year, with our Vermont Natural Sheepskins booth. We had a fantastic time meeting new fans, saying hello to some of our Instagram friends, and...
Field Trip: Beer and art in Salem, Massachusetts

Mondial de la Bière et Montréal – Beer Festival
The Gage Hill Crafts crew decided to take a mini vacation in Montréal last weekend for the Montreal Beer Festival, or as it is known there, Mondial de la Bière. This was also the first time Sarah’s mother Nancy had been to Montréal. In fact, it was the first...
England, Ireland & Wales (December 15-29, 2010)
Off We Go! It feels like we have been planning this trip forever, and we kind of have. We made the decision to buy the tickets in June, and we have spent the last six months planning nearly every minute of the journey. We printed blank calendars and emailed...
Wildwood, New Jersey (2008)
Though we’re not usually beach people we were pleasantly surprised when, a few months ago, we were invited by a few of Rick’s cousins to join them in Wildwood, NJ for a Scully family reunion. Rick had not communicated with them much in the past 20 years, and I...
