Time to dive in and make another SPLASH for one of our AHMAZING Sponsors Linda's Closet 💓
Linda’s Closet is a non-profit that provides free women’s clothing to individuals in need who live in the Monadnock Region. While the organization has been serving Southern New Hampshire for more than two decades, many people are often still surprised to find out about this unique resource.
It’s even located right at 43 Cypress Street, which is nestled between the Monadnock Food Co-op and Keene’s historic Main Street. They have an amazing team and the relaxed but upscale boutique atmosphere is another reason people enjoy visiting Linda’s. We hope you'll stop in and check it out!
Open to browse:
Wednesday from 6 to 8pm
Thurs from 11 to 1pm
And Saturday from 10 to 12pm
For more info, visit http://LindasCloset.org or call 603-357-1015
Thank you to Linda's for their wonderful support of our local community!
We can’t believe it's almost time to wrap up the Summer Local Lifestyle Playlist!!! Better savor our #7 slot and take a bite out of the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music ! (They have some BIG news today, so be sure to head over to their social pages 😉.)
This world-class chamber music surrounded by the beauty of Nelson, NH is nothing short of AHAMZING if you're looking for the perfect summer tradition. The scenic Apple Hill campus, with its sprawling lawns and charming setting, offers a unique musical experience where friends, families, and music lovers can gather under the stars.

Oh wow 😍
Spotted in the wild!!
🍅💓🍅 "Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, what'd life be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things money can't buy - that's true love and homegrown tomatoes!"
When your husband happily makes fresh pasta, you grow tomatoes for him!
Ok, 250+ is probably more than we need…..
I started a lot because we love them and wanted to share, but I didn’t put them up for sale until Memorial Day because that’s the safe planting date in New Hampshire!
Sadly, lots of folks had already bought tomato plants so I gave away the extras….but we planted a ton - and little Miss Perfectionist that I am, we gave them lots of tender loving care and have a zillion of beautiful, healthy tomatoes! We have 1 1/2 freezers full already, and it’s all thanks to Elisha, Lara, Beth, and Ralph, whose legs do the hard work since mine are spent.
What an important convo, especially after summer vacation spending 😮
Woah! We’re halfway through summer and halfway through the Summer Lifestyle Playlist! Jumping over the hump with #6, we’re cooling down with a scoop from The Ice Cream Bar.
If you need a reason to visit Hillsborough, this one is for you. Open for just over a year, this vintage-decorated ice cream parlor will bring you back in time with big smiles and classic-style booths. Did we mention the soda fountain bar?

We’re putting the spotlight on another one of our AMAZING Sponsors! Monadnock Hit & Run is stepping right up with this note about what summer means to them:
"There is no better time to be encompassed by the automotive world than summer – shows are abundant, hotrods cruise the streets at all times and everyone is enjoying the sunshine."

Situated in the small town of Hancock, Meka Farm and Homegoods is a fairytale anyone would feel lucky to stumble upon. The family-owned farm is known for its well-loved, pasture-raised animals and products. (Perfect to highlight during month 🙌)
Audrey Carrel, her husband, and two children proudly raise heritage breed chickens that provide an eclectic array of eggs, as well as meat, pigs for pork and field management, and more recently, Icelandic sheep for meat, fiber craft, and more!
The story behind their clever name? Meka is an acronym for the family’s first initials: Matthew, Emma, Kessler, and Audrey.

We're shouting out our gratitude for another AHMAZING sponsor of the Summer playlist! You might know her - she’s a long-time supporter. That’s right, it’s Isis Latham -Primerica Regional Vice President!
Isis is a connector, a pro at bringing people together through her financial advising services for local families and her online networking group for local business owners (and beyond), Evolution Business Development. Here's what she told us summer means to her.
“Building financial independence is like a New England summer—it's all about planting the seeds today and nurturing them through the seasons. Just as summer brings growth and abundance, careful planning and wise decisions will bring your financial dreams to life.”
Thank you! We can't express how much we appreciate you, Isis 💓 So happy to have your positive energy supporting us!
We are SO excited!!! 🪄✨🔮
