The Pebbled Shore is a fun, classy, seaside boutique located in the heart of Rockport, Massachusetts on historic Bearskin Neck and owned by Dianne Russo and Martha Nazzaro. You will find items from around the world as well as around the corner. It is the creative outlet carefully crafted by these two effervescent redheads with a zest and love for all things colorful and beautiful. Martha is the classic renaissance woman. From cake decorating and flower arranging, to having served as a corporate flight attendant and private nurse to the legendary Katharine Hepburn, Martha brings to The Pebbled Shore a sense of all things beautiful. With extensive research into her product selections, your shopping experience is sure to delight everyone seeking the little pleasures life has to offer. As the attentive mother of a mature teen and an active toddler, Martha understands the need to pamper oneself. Dianne is the creator and designer behind Belleflower Design, a collection of stunning, handcrafted bracelets, necklaces, and earrings utilizing the loveliest of colorful, semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystal, and sterling silver. Dianne retired from the software industry to raise two handsome and creative boys while nurturing her own creative side. Through the years she developed a passion for needlework, gourmet catering, garden and landscape design and finally jewelry design... because who doesn't love shiny, sparkly things? Dianne worked with Martha’s husband for 10 years which is where their paths crossed and they discovered they had so many common interests. Over a bottle of wine and a block of cheese, The Pebbled Shore was born… Our ideas and vision for this wonderful little business are boundless. Please visit us in this quintessential New England hamlet and discover all it has to offer. New to Rockport or a frequent visitor, you will always marvel at the gorgeous scenery and the hospitality offered by its citizens and business owners. While perusing this website cannot substitute for the real thing…we hope you’ll enjoy it just the same. Come back often and enjoy! Martha and Dianne would like to thank their husbands and families for all their support, business acumen, woodworking and especially painting skills! Thanks also to Chris Bye who worked tirelessly - even between sets at the Dave Matthews concert - to help us put our website together! |
