Cold Dipping

Life on Vinalhaven
Written By Alison Thibault

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. - Charles Dickens

Yesterday, on one of those March days we celebrated the third anniversary of Salty Sisters. What started as just two of us slipping into the cold ocean has grown into a wonderful circle of women who now share the adventure of year-round dipping. There’s laughter, a little bravery, and the occasional “why are we doing this again?” moment — it has become a joyful part of my life.

If you’re feeling even a little cold-water curious, you can learn more about it here.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that this week’s color is Cold Harbor.

I taught myself about glass, fusing and jewelry and it all started because I lost a favorite earring at a time when I was looking for a new way of living. I strive to capture simplicity and light with my jewelry, creating personal adornments to enhance your natural light and beauty. I draw inspiration for my work from the works of my mom and my grandmother, the women and girls who wear my jewelry, my island home and the music that is always on as I work.
