Hampstead New Hampshire Lifestyle and Real Estate for sale

As most of you know Jay and I live in the small town of Hampstead NH. Hampstead is one of those towns that has a little bit of everything. Located just 15 minutes off of both I 93 and 495 plus 25 minutes from Rte 95 makes Hampstead an ideal commuters location. Boston Ma and Concord NH are both under an hour away and the Maine border is about 50 minutes away. Hampstead has shopping, spas, fine dining and gyms all while still maintaining that small town feel. Main Street is dotted with antique style homes and some new construction as well. There are many sub divisions, lovely waterfront homes and condo complexes. Jay and I enjoy visiting the beach and love the fact the within 30 minutes we can be there or a few hours north of us is the gorgeous White Mountains of NH, we have lovely lakes and lots of open space to explore and we just love the outdoors, walking, camping, biking and just enjoying our community and everything living in southern NH and the Seacoast area offers.

Hampstead NH | Auction to Benefit Local Artist Bobbie Mabry

January 12, 2012 By Monika McGillicuddy 1 Comment

Bean Towne Coffee House and the Wine Steward join forces to help a local elderly woman in need

Bean Town Coffee House and Cafe is holding a very special event on Saturday, January 14 at 4pm. The auction will benefit a local artist in need of our help! Let’s all keep the season of giving alive by
attending this special event. The silent auction will feature free food and drink from BeanTowne and a wine tasting from The Wine Steward.

Bobbie Mabry Needs our help

Coffee House Comes to Aid of Ailing, Elderly Artist

Plans Silent Auction to Raise Funds, Save Life’s Work

January 4, 2012 Hampstead, NH – BeanTowne Coffee House will hold a silent auction of the work of Local Artist Bobbie Mabry, 82, of Raymond, NH, on Saturday, January 14^th from 4-8pm. All proceeds will be used to defray her mounting medical costs and living expenses. At Bobbie’s insistence, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to “The Smile Train”, an organization that aids children with Clef Palletes.

Now battling Parkinson’s Disease, this former New Hampshire Art Association and Copley Society Member subsists on her dwindling savings, deliveries from Meals on Wheels, and the occasional good deed of a care worker. She now lives amongst her life’s work, a dust-covered collection of over 100 paintings and drawings created in different mediums; A collection that will surely be lost if her story continues on its current path.

Kate LeBlanc, a BeanTowne Coffee House employee, became aware of Bobbie’s situation and immediately asked to meet her. Seeing the conditions and situation in which this former accomplished artist was living, Kate asked what she could do to help get her the services she needed, and keep her in her own home. Together, they decided that the most viable option was to begin selling Bobbie’s collection. A decision that the artist is not only at peace with, but also extremely happy to have come to “I always wanted my work to be enjoyed, to be shared, and to bring a stranger to another place that once existed only in my mind”, she said. “After all these years, I know it’s time for them to see the light of day again. I hope the people who end up with them on their walls will enjoy looking at them as much as I did creating them.”

A small portion of her work now hangs for sale on BeanTowne’s wall, with one large piece having already sold for $600. That sale sparked an idea amongst the staff; “Why not have a silent auction and exhibit the rest of the collection?”

“This is truly a fulfillment of the highest aspiration of our business,” said Ed Goyette, owner. “We hope to raise enough money through the sale of Bobbie’s work to enable her to remain in her home and create a more comfortable life for her going forward. Any help toward that end will be greatly appreciated.”

The silent auction will feature free food and drink from BeanTowne and other local restaurants.

BeanTowne Coffee House is a purveyor of award winning coffee, espresso and sandwiches. The store located at 201 Route 111 in Hampstead, NH. www.beantownecoffee.com

Hampstead New Hampshire’s Bean Towne Coffee House and Cafe

As REALTORS we’re often asked where is the best place to eat, to meet locals, to hang out…. stuff like that. So we thought we would start a series on local businesses that we enjoy visiting. While we live and work in the town of Hampstead our market area is spread wide from anywhere in Southeast Rockingham County and the Seacoast area so it would be impossible for us to cover every business and that is really not our goal. Our goal is to introduce you to the places we like to visit and hopefully you will like them too.

Our first local business is Bean Towne Coffee House and Cafe, we’ve talked about Bean Towne in the past and really enjoy the cafe and the people working there and are sure you will to.

Hampstead NH Christmas Parade 2011 VIDEO

December 12, 2011 By Monika McGillicuddy Leave a Comment

Hampstead NH Christmas Parade

This years theme was Christmas Around the World and thankfully the weather held out for us. You may remember that last year’s parade had to be cancelled due to bad weather.
This year it was a chilly but fairly sunny day and the townsfolk turned in full. People lined the streets, children laughed with excitement…all waiting to enjoy the parade. Click here if you’d like to see some previous Hampstead Christmas Parade videos
