Summer is on the wane in the charmingly picturesque coastal village of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, but an upcoming fashion show benefit ensures there’s still plenty of excitement in store for the Seaside Knitters…

Like every coastal town, Sea Harbor needs tourists and their dollars. But there’s something special about that time of year when summer people return to their normal lives, and the wide sandy beaches welcome back locals with their dogs and strollers. And this year, even as the season cools down, Izzy Perry’s Sea Harbor Yarn Studio is heating up, thanks to an upcoming fashion benefit . . .

The show will feature hand-knit garments, and enthusiastic knitters flock to the shop for supplies to create runway-worthy pieces. Yet Seaside Knitter Birdie is enjoying flocks of a different kind, thanks to a rekindled interest in birdwatching, a hobby she enjoyed with her late husband. Along with a small group of passionate birders, she often spends weekend mornings looking for warblers, or keeping watch for gannets and grebes. The group members themselves are almost as fascinating as the birds. It’s a lovely, special time—until Birdie makes her way through a tangle of vines and stumbles upon a fellow birder’s body.

At first, it appears to be an accidental fall, but an autopsy soon reveals that the victim died before hitting a granite boulder. When police discover a clue linking the victim to one of the Seaside Knitters, the web of suspicion grows. Before the woods are ablaze in autumn glory and the knitters have cast off the final rows on their runway projects, they’ll have to unravel secrets and ties strong enough to bind friends and neighbors together—and some that may press a killer to take another life.

Bet you can’t wait to read this one!

Glosta For Ukraine 24/01/2023

Dear friends,

I would like you to meet a new friend, Natalia, who is from Ukraine and now lives here in Gloucester. Natalia has opened a pop-up store filled with Artist-made good from Ukraine (just down the street from me), which helps in her efforts to help her homeland.

Natalia's dear friend Dima is in Dnipro, Ukraine, where a missile reduced a nine-story apartment building to rubble (read about it: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/15/europe/dnipro-ukraine-war-russian-missile-strike-intl/index.html) just a few days ago. Natalia has launched a campaign to help Dima escape the war by coming to Gloucester.

You can help by making a donation of any amount to help cover Dima's travel costs and to help him resettle here: www.classy.org/campaign/glosta-for-ukraine/c454389

The news from Ukraine is so upsetting and it's easy to feel helpless. This is a real way to help. Thank you.
