As tired as I am – I would LOVE for this show to go on all week! We have had a really great time, seeing old friends and making new ones! The work from the show promises to be more than any previous year. The excitement and true enthusiasm for the artwork was immeasurable. We have our bags packed and we are headed back to Boston, already looking forward to next year! Until then, remember, “great art great vibes buy art” – Jennifer

The multi-talented, Carolyn Gavin, Susan McCabe, Helen Dardik & Macrina Busato – some of the very best folks on the planet!

All this week, funny and observant LRS agent Susan McCabe will be writing the blog posts. Lucky us!

Today she shares her visit to The Paper House.

“For years I had heard about this curious place in Rockport MA called the Paper House. I imagined a Lincoln Log inspired structure made up of rolled up newspapers–and something about as big too. I finally had a chance to see it for myself and encourage anyone tired of the same old summer sites to check it out. It’s worth a detour.”

From the Paper House website:
“The Paper House is an actual house made from paper. Newspaper. It was built by Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his Rockport summer home out of paper as a hobby. That was in 1922. The paper was meant to be good insulation. Eventually, not only was the house made of paper, but furniture as well, including some intricate and beautiful pieces.”
