Does that make us a "Best of Boston"

In late July, Boston Magazine took over the trolley barn, the home of the SoWa Antiques Market to hold their annual Best of Boston Party. It was great to see 1,000 of Boston's best enjoying themselves in our humble digs. They dressed it up real pretty but we had a few days after the party to get it back the way we like it, real homey. so we're back to normal now, but it was nice to have our home recognized as the unique place it is by such a prestigious organization. Boston is the BEST!

Wake up you're in the Globe!

I was awoken by Sharon this morning by her excited shout "You're in the Globe!" Sharon gets up earlier than I do. She has a real job with a 45 minute commute to downtown Boston. Mine is a quick trip into my basement office and no one but me knows if I arrive late. And since I'm a night person, I take advantage of the extra sleep time. So I forced myself to focus (after I reached for my glasses) while she held the paper in front of my face. There it was a full page on the SoWa Antiques Market with a half page full color photo. Exciting indeed. You can't buy advertising like that. You never know when something will catch a writer's eye. Since starting the market we've been lucky to catch the interest of a lot of newspapers and websites. It makes me feel good that the excitement is catching on....and it was definitely worth waking up a little early for.
Here's the link to the article.

We just received the August Maine Antique Digest with a nice story about SAM.
