New 2009 Cape May Gift Calendar now Available

Get a Jump on the Holiday Season

We featured the new Calendar at last
night's Life Rolls On fund raising event.
We are thrilled to announce the availability of our new 2009 Cape May Captured wall calendar. The new version, the second limited edition follows the sell out success we had with last year's calendar, and again presents the unique photographic voice of Michael Jordan Longfellow. Calendar features include high quality production details such as the large format (19 inches by 13.5 inches) calendar, beautiful full color photo reproduction printing on a textured linen paper, and new customizing options so local businesses can add their brand to a small print run, creating the perfect marketing tool that connects your Cape May brand to, well, the beautiful Cape May brand. The custom branded calendars make a fantastic gift for your clients or customers.

We'll post more information about these calendars over the next weeks, and will present them for the first time at tonight's Life Rolls On fund raiser at the Harbor View restaurant where the calendar will be featured at the silent auction table. So bid them up, the money goes to a great cause. Hopefully we'll see you there!

Why Not Order Yours Today!

Cape May's Best Home Made Ice Cream

Handmade ice cream Cape May style right off the Parkway just past the Exit Zero traffic light.

Hand cranked tasty delicious homemade ice cream at the tip of south jersey

Here's a question: where can you buy Cape May's best home made ice cream? Two weeks ago, I didn't know the answer even though I've lived here for over 6 years and consider myself an avid ice cream lover. Well, the answer is the Vanilla Bean Creamery of course, a tiny little place you never heard of, that does not advertise, that you could very well pass a thousand times driving the lanes of south jersey on the Garden State Parkway, and never even notice the little pink ice cream sign and purple building that features some of south jersey's freshest and best homemade ice cream.

I love everything about this hidden gem. It's unassuming. It's off the beaten path. And their hand cranked ice cream and unique flavor combinations are such wonderful discoveries, you'll find yourself running the menu during multiple visits.

Cape May's coolest new oval car sticker — revisted

A Cool new Cape May car sticker who's time has come

552666-862213-thumbnail.jpg
Cool Sticker now available for order by clicking here!
We ran a story a while back about an original, funky new Cape May car sticker our design department created. :O) And even though the initial feedback was stupendous, we never actually went live with the idea. CapemayX viewers emailed that they loved the cool summery blue that fills the familiar oval shape you see on car stickers everywhere. And the unique reversed hand forged CM type that is both striking and easy to read. And of course, our original tag line — Cape May. It's a shore thing® — a creative way to declare one's love of all things Cape May as you barrel down the highway to greet the business end of an Ocean Burger before the taste buds mutiny!

We received inquiries about the banner we ran a few days back and in particular, viewers wanted to know about the car and the aqua blue CM car sticker. First things first — the car is a Shelby Cobra (we're pretty sure), one of the all-time authentically great, unique American muscle cars. The front-end contour is the giveaway.
