A quick hello to let you know, if you pre ordered the 2021 calendar, your order has shipped out. And if you were waiting for the calendars to be here in St. John, and ready to ship, well, I have them! You can place your order online.

I sometimes wonder why do we have calendars anymore, when we have no engagements to write on them! But, I got the answer yesterday, when I put the medicine stickers for my dog and cat onto the date! Aside from the paintings that are on each month…hopefully we will have some fun things to write onto the 2021 calendar!

We are deep into hurricane season now, and I start each day checking the weather. It’s busy already with storms coming off of Africa. Thus, I have stored all of the originals upstairs, and put away everything until next November. Everything is still available, but online now. If any of you have difficulty ordering online, just call. I’m here! Also, if you are on island, you can get my calendars and many gift items at Pink Papaya, Island Fancy or Friends of the Park store in Mongoose, and Gallows Gift Shop.

I am in quarantine still, waiting for the vaccine, so life can continue in a more normal rhythm. My health has improved, and I’m almost as strong as I was. Working on it daily. Dove gives me a reason (and she will not take no for an answer) to get up and walk her to Cruz Bay every day.

Speaking of Cruz Bay, there is progress from Hurricane Irma. The government is replacing the roof on the Battery, so it will again look like the cover image on the 2021 calendar, instead of a hurricane wreck.

The island seems to have lots of visitors, especially for this time of year. We appreciate each one of you for coming.

St. John is calling you back. Hope to see you in the near future!

Best to you and yours,

Elaine and Crew at Coconut Coast Studios
