Fashion In The Sand

Thursday, July 21st, 2011
The American Girl
I not only make sure you all look great, I make sure your dolls look great too. If you forgot to pack your doll’s out to dinner frock or even her crocs for strolling town – no worries! Pop into Willow, next to Fudge n’ Stuff, where you will find a HUGE selection of all the latest trendy styles for your American Girl Doll. You can even find an “I Love Monatuk” t-shirt for her so she too can have fond memories of our little town. The shoe assortment blew my mind. Crocs, fuzzy bunny slippers, snappy strappy sandals, and even rain boots. Makes you wish you were 18″ tall too. (A whole lot cheaper to dress yourself in doll clothes than real life sizes).

Fashion in the Sand-Beachy Bedrooms

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

As usual I was walking around town being a tourist taking in all the new retail spaces in Montauk. There is so much to look at and BUY this season! I have been wanting to update my younger daughter’s room. Typical of being a second child close behind the first I never really had time to decorate her room. The rug is from the living room, the pictures on the wall are moved around from other places in the house, and the paint was never refreshed. She keeps asking for a rainbow sparkle with hearts paint job. Sounds like a bad trip paint job to me.

As I was walking around, I came to Gansett Lane. This is their second season in Montauk. It is a wonderful home shop filled with all sorts of decorating pieces from gorgeous couches to VERY AFFORDABLE water goblets. There is quite an extensive section for kids. I immediately saw the remedy to my daughter’s blah room! A new woven cotton rug in pale aqua and lavender stripes! The best was it was only about $200 for a 6×9 rug. This is a steal for such a large rug. I quickly purchased it, brought it home, and put it down in place of the old one. WOW! What a wonderful difference. It made the room bright, fresh, and so beachy. We all love it. She did say that she was expecting a new paint job when I told her to go see the surprise in her room. Oh, well. Such is life with Little Ones!

Poison Dart Frogs in Montauk

Friday, June 19th, 2009

frogsYou can either go to the Museum of Natural History to see their current exhibition on Poison Dart Frogs or go right here in Montauk to Fort Pond Native Plants.  Owner and frog collector and enthusiast, Jimmy Grimes, has built two solariums to display and keep his multi-specie and colored frogs with one housing over 33 frogs and the other with some tree frogs as well.  The tanks are large and beautiful with tropical landscaping and light.  Mr. Grimes advised that during different times of day you could hear different sounds made by the several species with mid afternoon always being an interesting time because the frogs come out to eat.

Make Some Art with Found Objects

Monday, April 20th, 2009

collagingearthdayIn celebration of Earth Day, have your children (and yourself!)  create a piece of art that has a pledge of how they will be good to the Earth this year.  Use magazine cut outs to make a collage.  It’s fun and a good way of recognizing some things we could do for the earth and gain ownership of it.

You can also collect things found in nature (but be aware that taking rocks and sand from the beaches here is illegal) and make a collage or sculpture!

Kids and adults alike enjoyed this activity at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center this past Saturday during their Earth Day celebration.  All pledges will be compiled into a paper quilt that you can go see hanging in the Montauk Playhouse.
