New England Inspiration - the other JC

Hi All,

Sorry to be MIA these last few weeks.  We took the family back East to visit our New England roots and family.  Hanover, N.H. has changed very little in the last few decades with the exception of contemporary architecture now blending with Dartmouth's traditional brick and green shuttered square buildings and a gelato shop, called Morano, able to transport one back to Italy.  And yes Starbuck will arrive this Fall. ... sigh.  

Take a little journey with me and experience what summer feels like in NH.  But before we land in Boston we decide to dye my little one's hair pink to give my very proper parents a little shock.

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go and then a stop for some coffee at Lou's and then the Dirt Cowboy Cafe for another jolt.

Dartmouth College takes it upon itself to prove very few people actually know how to play the piano by setting up 50 pianos around the Hanover area to celebrate Hopkins Center's 50th anniversary.  Here are a few we found...

 

And what would New England be without camp?

Surrounded by all this beauty I was inspired to work and asked my 90 year old grandmother if I could use her sewing machine.  When she said it was a 100 years old I thought she was joking, but her Singer worked beautifully and I was able to produce a few things.

 

Happy Summer from Take2 and send us any pictures of your kids wearing Take2 or items you are using in your home!
