The White Whale Blog

Although as many of you know, the weather on Nantucket tends to lag behind a bit. We are a little more than a month from Daffodil Festival! I wanted to give you all a quick recap of what went down this Winter!

After Stroll we kept the store open through the Christmas holiday. During that time we were able to introduce our new Scallop Shell Lights made by our good friend Captain Scallopini (actually my Dad, haha) If you haven’t had the pleasure of stopping by to speak with “The Capt” (as he playfully refers to himself as) try to think of it next time you are walking down Broad St. On top of being beautiful, you might even get a quick lesson from the Captain himself on how to make your own lights! Just ask Gordon from Plum TV.

Afterwards we kept the store open on weekends - mainly just Saturdays. We met some really great folks who live on the island and want to thank them for stopping by to chat during those cold afternoons. It was also during this time that I began working on updating our online site www.whitewhale.com. It is still an ongoing process but I’m very happy with the early results. I’ve decided to create and maintain this blog so many of you on our mailing list will be up to date with any new sales or products that will be introduced this summer!

Speaking of new products, this summer you can expect to see a plethora of new items as well as many of the items you’ve seen in the past. We are excited to introduce jackets, vests, polos, and oxford button downs all with the exclusive White Whale of Nantucket label! Also, many of you who are reading this have given me some great thoughts on new White Whale logo’d products. You know who you are! So stay tuned.

We are shooting for a mid to late April full-time opening, which means one of us from the Farley gang will be in the store 7 days a week.

A few more notes:
1. Remember to send me any photos of you or your friends in the White Whale gear. If you check out the “Photo Gallery” you’ll see I’ve begun accumulating photos!
2. Also, The White Whale will be sponsoring and participating (yikes) in the RMG Charity Platform Tennis Tournament on March 30th. This is a fun filled weekend for all and it benefits The Nantucket Boys and Girls Club. So if you happen to be around feel free to email me for information.

Okay, that about does it for now.

Later on!
Bill
