The Roving Home: January 2012

The Roving Home

The Roving Home is the new online version our store in Rockport, Massachusetts called Sycamore Hollow.

Much has changed in the last few years, both on a personal level two kids and counting - and in the store. Moving from Main Street to a virtual marketplace has been a learning experience, to say the least. Twitter, Facebook, blogging...the tools of social media have evolved to an overwhelming degree, and skills learned in the non-virtual world don’t always translate to the online one. It’s hard for a regular Jane to keep up, especially one fixated with the aesthetics of the past. The latest technology is not exactly a priority for someone who still uses a typewriter on occasion.

But change can be exciting and here’s the latest in The Roving Home’s technological evolution: a monthly digital catalog of sorts.

Each issue will feature a few of our latest pieces, showcasing the vintage look at home, where we entertain, eat, work and play...

Happy 2012!
