what people are saying about the e list...

"I have been a member for a week and have planned a day trip with your help, sent info to 3 friends and used the archives to visit David Brown and buy flowers last week at his farm. Thank you. Look forward to the future on the shoreline with you."

"I really love your email and look forward to it. I made the rainbow cake...huge hit and have tried several stores that I wouldn't have known about prior to reading about them here."

"I guess I could stop saving every single elist I ever got and instead use the website to find old listings! Thanks to you I now have a seamstress for all the alterations too big for me to handle, and speaking of handles (?), I got that adorable striped toolbox from Delight.com for my daughter's wedding shower and she loved it!"

"I love the list. I am trying things I had never heard of and delighted always!! Thanks for doing all the work and we get to reap the benefits. This is a great list, read, email. I look forward to it always."

"I must admit. I love the list just as it is. I have used it to plan girls nights out, started going to Timothy Pamment because of you, and recently went to Ballou's after seeing it on the list."

"I think it's great and that you're doing a fabulous job. I look forward to reading it every week and I'm always blown away by the places around here I know so little about. I'm glad you're around to keep me current!"

"I always find it interesting. I like the variety you provide. You actually took my daughter and I to Guilford one day where I hadn't been in probably 20 years. Thank you!"

"I don't have any suggestions, but I just wanted you to know that I love and look forward to these e-mails so that I can see what exciting things are out there! Thank you!"

"I really enjoy the e list and think you are doing a great job! I love seeing it in my inbox when a lot of other newsletters I rec. just get deleted. Thanks!"

"I love the e list and have forwarded it on to several friends. Also, I have a folder in which I save old e lists but I guess this isn't really necessary. I have definitely referred to the e list when I need inspiration...like restaurants I haven't tried, a new place to shop, where to go for fun. Maybe you could do an "All time favorites" e list like, favorite place to lunch with the ladies, favorite romantic dinner, favorite place to shop, etc. Great Job! Thanks!"

"I love getting the list each week - it's like a little treat. Especially enjoy learning about unusual boutiques in other towns."

"I think the e-list is great!!! I love that you do all the leg work for me. I've been taking notes on places I might want to check out when I'm in the market for something (like the great furniture consignments, the vintage clothing stores, a new place to eat,...)."

"I grew up in Guilford, and now live in New York -- but was married in Guilford earlier this summer and found your website to be an invaluable resource in terms of finding a place to have my brows waxed, a yoga studio where I could go during the wedding week, and restaurant suggestions for guests. I bet a wedding planning section might work really well. I would also love to see more weekend things for out-of-towners, since I now visit the shoreline for mini-breaks and family get-togethers."

"Thank you for all your time and energy. i enjoy your suggestions. My daughter and I stayed at The Smyth because of your e-list mention. It was terrific."

"We are retired and always interested in exploring this beautiful state we live in. Last email featured Stonington and we enjoyed a day there and even ate at the DogWatch restaurant. Loved it. Keep up the good work. You are doing great!"

"Thank you to Claudine (FEAST,DR) for introducing me to e list. Actually, I save the e list emails that uncover shoreline treasures. Great for shopping, restaurants et al. with summer guests or just for fun adventures. You're my source for the 'best' on the shoreline. Thank you."

"Fantabulous idea...can't think what you could do better.....always looking for girls night out ideas....we recently tried the fondue in Guilford and mentioned you!!!"

"Actually, although our home is in Deep River, my husband and I are currently living in Brazil while my husband is on a 3 yr expat work assignment. I so enjoy getting your emails because they keep me connected to home and I have often forwarded them to friends. Before we moved here in April, I started going to Celebrity Brows and Angie Lu Tailors and would never have found them if it weren't for your e-list. I'm not sure what you need to do to improve the list; I love it as is."

"I think that the list is great, and makes me feel like there's something interesting going on. Sometimes I grow sick of the "country" life, but your list always adds a dash of sophistication."
