One of our lovely neighbors, Mike Dater, has been delivering the New Hampshire Gazette to us every other week for years. Mike is also a longtime Portsmouth illustrator and cartoonist whose work has appeared in the Gazette for nearly 25 years!
In 2006, Mike created this illustration for Win and Claire, who opened South Street & Vine in 2000. The year 2006 was especially meaningful, as it marked the shop’s move to our current home on Marcy Street.
Yesterday, Mike stopped by and gifted us the original illustration. What a beautiful piece of the history, friendship, and community that makes our w**e and cheese shop so special.
We can’t wait to frame it and give it a home in the shop!
