Welcome to Our New Blog


Welcome to our new blog! There is always something new and exciting going on at On The Veranda.

Our latest event was held on May 28th. We had a cocktail reception and book signing for Mary Emmerling.

We met Mary a few years ago when we collaborated on a Country Home Showcase House that was produced and directed by Mary. We had always been big fans of hers, but working with her reinforced how talented and creative she really is. We also learned that she is great fun!

Only months earlier Mary had released her book Art Of The Cross: an intriguing look at the cross as an Icon whose meaning is as varied and wide ranging as the cultures that have embraced it.

We were so excited to see her new publication, Mary Emmerling’s Beach Cottages, and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Mary gets to the heart of what makes a home special. She loves lived in homes (dogs, children, ocean breezes, and a simpler pared down way of life).

Mary has authored many books and we thought it would be great fun to do the book signing. Her name recognition alone guaranteed a great turnout. We weren’t a bit surprised when we sold every copy we had, and the customers were begging for more. There was a lot of creative energy in the room that evening.

So if you are headed to the beach this summer include Mary’s book in your beach bag. There are tips on packing the perfect beach bag, beach movies, best beach reading, and a sounds of summer playlist. There a gorgeous photos. It is really an intimate tour of unique sea side escapes.

Thanks Mary for giving us another wonderful book and thanks to our wonderful customers and friends for a Magical Night.
