Melissa + Beth = Awesome
Melissa Averinos and Beth Dunn met in 2008 when they stumbled across each other’s blogs. Immediately alert to the fact that they lived only two towns apart from one another, and that they shared a deep fondness for the run-down, the forgotten, and the impossibly adorable, they realized that they must meet, and soon.
After a brief courtship involving cornbread smuggled in from New York City (don’t ask), the friendship was sealed and vast quantities of joint projects were begun. They sincerely hope you will join them for the rest of the story.
To read all about why they started this website, and why there are eggplants floating all over the place, you might want to get started by reading The Story of Eggplantia.
Melissa Averinos is a fabric designer, painter, good listener, and a lover of strawberry rhubarb pie. She can usually be found getting messy in the studio in the back of her Cape Cod gift shop, Yummy Goods. Her first book, Small Stash Sewing (from Wiley Publishing) is coming out in the spring of 2010. She is notable especially for her deep and abiding love of rust, dancing, making stuff, photography, Cape Cod, and her fiance. Oh, yes, and pie. She is deeply into pie.
Beth Dunn is a writer, a bibliophile, a knitter, and a serious lover of period drama. She can usually be found devouring some book of 19th-century British or American history, biography, or fiction. In the rare instances in which she is without a book, she will be knitting, generally ladies’ doodads of a 19th-century variety, or extremely complicated socks on very tiny needles. She lives not far from Melissa, in a tiny house on Cape Cod, where she pursues the life of a hermit, mostly. Cats are drawn to her, for obvious reasons.
