Croton Artisans' Holiday Boutique
Municipal Building
Croton-on-Hudson, NY
This is the perfect holiday shopping experience. Friday evening, 12/6, there is a wine tasting/shopping event from 7-9pm. Saturday, 12/7, the boutique is open 10-6 and Sunday, 12/8, from 11-4. Trust me, this one is not to be missed!
I have exciting news.
I have joined a collective of 20 makers - artists and artisans - in opening a shop in Ossining, NY. Melita's Village Nest is located at 5 Brandreth Street, Ossining. It's around the corner from Hudson Valley Books for Humanity, noted below. The Nest has an array of beautiful handmade objects ranging from fused glass works, to silk scarves, jewelry, and of course my photos in the form of framed and unframed prints, placemats, coasters and wine stoppers. Cards, too.
The Nest is open Thursday through Sunday 10am to 5pm
SMALL GLITCH IN THE TOWN WITH PERMITS HAS CAUSED US TO CLOSE AT A MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON. HOWEVER, MELITA HAS BROUGHT US BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL "NEST" FOR THE TIME BEING, TO THE LOWER LEVEL OF HER SHOP ON MAIN STREET IN OSSINING. SO NOW WE ARE THERE, OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 10-6. NICE!
This year I started selling my cards at an amazing bookstore in Ossining, NY.

Also, I currently have some unframed 8x10 prints for sale at the Croton Artisans Gallery, across from the Black Cow, on Grand Street, through December.
And, I have 5 photos hanging in an exhibit of Flora and Fauna at Cortlandt Town Hall on Heady Street, through January, 2025.
The opening reception for the Cortlandt Town Hall show is Tuesday, Nov. 26, 5-6:30pm.
Please note, many of the images are not complete, either cut off at the top or sides, so that heads, beaks or other things are missing. This is due to the fact that I am a photographer, not a website professional. If you want to see a complete image, contact me. Also, as you are I am sure aware, all photos on this website are copyright protected.

In May of 2023 we went to SA to celebrate my mother-in-law's 100th birthday. She was doing so well. We had a great time, partying with friends and family for a week. (As a side note, she has since peacefully passed away, after living a full and happy life, first in England, then in South Africa since 1946.)
Then we went to Namibia, a country we have never been to before. The landscape is beautiful and different from any place we have ever been. I had to add an entire page here for Namibia pix. This photo was taken at a Community Center in Windhoek, Namibia run by a friend of ours. How cute is he?
