Check out these beautifully crafted hand embroidered necklaces from marañón, a brand new artist from Craftland. Originally from Cuba and now living in Miami, she names the name of her company after the fruit. “A marañón is a fruit. It is most commonly known as the cashew apple. My grandmother and I are avid lovers of its taste. She told me it was her favorite fruit because throughout the fruit’s developmental stages, it displays all of the colors visible to the human eye. I’ve never been able to prove the validity of this statement, but I have always taken her word for it.”
Her inspiration beautifully translates into her work, with the colors she chooses and how she weaves them all together. To see more of her work and all the other great artists at Craftland, stop by at 235 Westminster Street. And remember Craftland is open late tonight, until 8pm, so don’t forget to stop by after work!

Dead Man’s Cell Phone by playwright Sarah Ruhl, intrigues the viewer using the “the allure of of the device as a dramatic muse”. The unusual plot is set around a woman named Jean, who picks up a dead man’s cellphone when she hears it ringing incessantly. Answering the call, Jean gets inexorably drawn into the corpse’s mysterious and increasingly ominous world”. Visit Trinity Rep’s box office at 201 Washington St. or online at www.trinityrep.com.

This recent spell of awesome weather has got me craving fresh fruits and veggies, and I discovered the other day that Gourmet Heaven has got a great selection of produce on top of everything else they offer. When the weather gets nice, I love being able to walk to what I need, and when I pop in for their amazing lunch, I can pick up ingredients for dinner as well. They even had blood oranges, one of my faves, which are hard to find even at the big grocery stores. We’re so lucky to have such a great market right here in Downcity…Check it out, it’s one stop shopping! Gourmet Heaven, 173 Weybosset St.
