One of our local treasures, the Cape Ann Museum, had their Holiday Bazaar.


The museum’s gift shop was present, of course:

I really liked these “lynzariums“:

“Each lynzarium is a uniquely designed piece of art containing found natural elements. prices start at $20 and a range of different shaped plants and vessels are used.” They actually had some at lower prices too; I bought one! They are living plants, but need minimal care. And yes, if the name is supposed to be like Latin, the plural would be “lynzaria”, not “lynzariums”. Anyway, they are beautiful, alive, and easy to keep! They have great photos on their website.
Mimi (a gallery in Manchester) also had a table:

Among the other vendors, this display caught my attention:

There were other interesting things too, but a big crowd arrived and it got hard to take photos…

About Fr Matthew Green
Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location!
One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos
on Flickr and buy prints of some of them

I am a daily contributor to
GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution.
I also have my own blog,
Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.
Love the Lynzariums!
