Summertime is here!  Let’s hit the beach down on the Connecticut Shore, at the Old Lyme Beach Club where last September Katrina and Charles tied the knot.  Their relaxed and stylish wedding was recently featured in Style Me Pretty Connecticut.  I remember smiling hearing Led Zeppelin’s Over the Hills and Far Away welcoming Katrina down the aisle with her dad…hitting the perfect note for this eclectic couple.  As always it was fun working beside our good friend Lindsay Mastroianni of Sixpence for Your Shoe event planners who was many months pregnant during the wedding!  The 1940s Old Lyme Beach Club–with its cornflower blue doors and weathered cedar shakes–is a jewel on the Connecticut Shore, looking perfect decked out with Azalea Floral Design’s flowers and La Tavola linens.

Lobster Rolls of New England Book Launch Party!

Our good friend Sally Lerman came to Jane last summer as she was writing her book “Lobster Rolls of New England”, to ask Jane to photograph their adventure in and around New England on sea and land as they explored the nitty-gritty of lobster roll nirvana.  Their Thelma and Louise roadtrip started on the Connecticut and Rhode Island shorelines, before they left port in Maine with lobstermen to see where these bugs come from.  Along the way, they ate their weight in lobster rolls…it’s all chronicled in Sally’s book!

Last week Sally and Ken hosted a festive book signing party at their home, complete with a lobster roll truck serving up warm butter lobster rolls…man they’re good!  One bite and you’ll agree with Sally that “I love lobster, I love butter and when combined with the right bread, I think the lobster roll may be the perfect food.  If I had a last meal, this would be it, ideally finished with a fresh lemon meringue pie.”  Amen.

Lobster Rolls of New England is the definitive book on the subject and Sally brings her expertise having tasted over 200 different lobster rolls.  The book outlines a great adventure and beckons you to follow the Lobster Trail.  And it’s a thoughtful hostess gift or wedding goody bag present for out-of-towners.   Order a copy on Lobster Gal’s website:  http://lobstergal.com/product/lobster-rolls-of-new-england/

Congratulations Sally and Jane!!  And welcome to the Summer of Lobster, 2014!!
