This Week at Norton’s Cove Studio & Café

February 23, 2022 ~ Janet Davis ~ 2 Comments

We’re now booking professional performers at the Lower Deck for the 2022 season! Interested? Introduce yourself to Janet via email. Send website and video links!

I am also working on a piece of art and statement based on the letters written from the people of Bonavista North to Joey Smallwood in during the time that Confederation with Canada was taking place. My work will be focused on the woman in this picture, Eunice (nee: Burton) Kelloway, and the struggles that she and many others at that time were experiencing. I got some help with my research from **Linda White** and the **Greenspond Historic Society**‘s followers- thank you! The letters are available for viewing at the **MUN Archives** in the Joey Smallwood Collection.

Anyone else’s mouth watering? I can’t wait for the Café to reopen in June! All events and activities, including opening and closing dates can be found in the calendar section of our website.

We had an overwhelmingly successful Feast of Saint Valentine event at the Café on the 13th & 14th. In the fall and early winter, it’s easy to feel a bit tuckered out when it comes to thinking about the café and all the work involved trying to make everything run smoothly. We want the business to provide what our customers want, but also it needs to make enough money to pay the bills and enable us to keep going. That can be pretty stressful! But this event in mid-February, when we’ve been feeling refreshed and almost ready for spring to arrive again, reminds us of how much we love what we’re doing, and how much this venue means to the people around us. Honestly, the comments coming back have been very heart-warming. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It really is the nourishment our business needs!

Now that we have completed the downstairs space at the Café, which we call the Lower Deck, and some of the COVID restrictions look like they’ll be relaxing soon all across the country, I’m hoping to line up a new series of Live @ the Lower Deck events. I am looking for professional performers to stand in this spotlight and entertain us. Interested artists should introduce themselves via email and include links to examples of their work.

A little reminder from me (and 7xFred) that **all apparel** is on sale this month! The discount code **2022** only works if you subscribe to our monthly eNewsletter though.

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away- which leaves plenty of time to order that special card, and purchase your Feast of Saint Valentine event tickets through our online shop, or in-person (or over the phone) at the Studio.

**Mussel Heart** is available as a card or a mini-print.
Does your sweetheart love the seaside? Mine does!

I’m trying out a new reservation system for this event, where you can pick an available time and date right on the order page. Click HERE to read the menu and order your event tickets! Now that the Lower Deck is finished, we have tons of room to spread out! With current COVID-19 restrictions, we are limited to 34.5 people (including staff) in the building at a time, need to physically distance ourselves from other bubbles by at least 6 feet, wear a mask when we are not seated/eating, and show that we are vaccinated upon entry. No sweat! We’re used to that!

First up, I’d like to thank everyone who came out to support our small business over the Easter Weekend events- you’re stars! We appreciate it very much! You might not realize it, but small businesses really do need to feel encouraged to keep going, and getting positive feedback from our customers makes our jobs as owners, kitchen magicians, & happy servers all worth-while. Thank you.

I am expecting new products to arrive at any minute- coffee beans roasted right here in Newfoundland hit the shelves of the giftshop & the online shop very soon. Different roasting flavours from a couple of different companies. I’ll post the details as soon as I can!
