Lynn Karlin's Stunning New Photography Exhibit Opens at Hammertown Barn & Rhinebeck on November 13th


I saw these amazing photos and met Lynn on a recent visit to Maine. Weekly visits to local farmers' markets and the popular restaurant Chase's Daily, in Belfast, Maine, a farm to table restaurant, led Karlin on a quest to honor vegetables by literally placing them on pedestals. Her eclectic mix of old pedestals has grown to more than a dozen. Originally from New York, Lynn was the first woman staff photographer for WWD and W. She was also a freelance photographer for The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, House Beautiful and Country Living before moving to Maine in 1983.

Both Hammertown Pine Plains and Hammertown Rhinebeck will present a selection of work by Maine Photographer Lynn Karlin: The Pedestal Series from November 13 - January 2011.

Joan and Rhonda Hit High Point!

A couple weeks ago, Rhonda and I made one of our regular buying trips down to North Carolina and did we find some wonderful things for Hammertown!  Rhonda and I returned inspired. 

Here are some pictures of what we bought in High Point that will be arriving at Hammertown within the next week or so.

It's Time for those Fall Chores 

The cool, moist weather of Fall makes it an ideal time for dividing and transplanting perennials.  Their roots can become well-established even in cold-winter regions.  So don't worry, there is still plenty of time. 

November is also a good time to plant shrubs and evergreens but not a good time to move them.  You can get some great deals on mulch right now but it's best to lay the mulch after the ground has frozen, as rodents may look for a winter home in it.

This Week's Recipe: Vegetable Gold

I had dinner with my son Gregg the other night.  It was a busy day for me, so he kindly offered to make dinner.  I suggested we try making dinner from this new organic Indian Spice Blends that just came to the store.  Each spice pack comes with a recipe, and I had heard that they are really good and you know what...it was delicious!
