Last night's Copper Pumpkin PrizeGiving celebration was so much fun!!! We are so grateful to all the folks at O'Brien's ☘️ Pub for the warm and delicious hospitality, Sulaymaan Miles for adding his 🎷 talents to the evening, Quisan from for always being the sweetest and most talented 📸, and all the Wonderful Elves who helped me decorate and clean up! 🧑‍🎄🧑🏼‍🎄🧑🏽‍🎄

We had SO many local ThamesGivers and scavenger hunters there, both IRL 🕺🏼💃🏾 and on IG Live. 🤳

🎁 We also had SO many wonderful prizes and many prizewinners in the room! We still have a few Passports to recognize with bonus prizes for outstanding participation - there just wasn't enough time last evening - so stay tuned for more terrific (+ professional photos!) and updates, both across our social channels and on our website at www.thamesgiving.com. 🤎

Our next stop on ThamesGiving's History of Thames Street is the Brick Market building located at 127 Thames Street!

Built in 1762, this historic landmark has gone through many transformations over the years. Originally, it served as an open-air market where merchants sold their wares. Its location was strategic, near the bustling wharves where ships unloaded goods and in the center of town for easy access to the community.

Over time, the Brick Market has been home to a printing shop, city hall, a theater, a furniture store (as shown in the photo), and a gift shop. Today, it houses the Museum of Newport History & Shop, making it a fascinating stop on the ThamesGiving Map!!

🍂Plus, when you find their copper pumpkin, you gain free entry to visit the Museum upstairs!🍂

While you're exploring Newport’s rich history, consider supporting the Newport Historical Society’s Toy Drive to benefit the MLKCC Santa’s Workshop. It’s a great way to give back and spread holiday cheer in our community this Giving Season!

The Quencher is a perfect cozy escape on a rainy day (and also on a beautiful sunny day - their roofdeck bar is one of the best in Newport!) A few ThamesGiving Elves enjoyed pizza and Chianti this afternoon while enjoying live music and searching for Copper Pumpkins. We were treated to their ThamesGiving special: a homemade MarscaponeOreo dessert for all to share! Delicious!

Everything, including the pasta and the Oreo cookies, is homemade!!

Don't miss out in the Quencher on Long Wharf....any time of year! It has a small hometown feel, amazing hospitality and an incomparable view of Newport Harbor!

Oh my goodness!!! The cheese board assembly 101 course at Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet was fantastic! Maria is back from her harvest just on time time to advise us on Thanksgiving wine, cheese, delectables and hosting tips!!

Today is offering a 20% discount on cheese when people mention ThamesGiving! We even ran into a merry troupe of copper pumpkin scavenger hunters as we were assembling cheeses and shopping!!

So much delicious, creative fun!!

"The longing to experience the unknowable- from awe to terror- calls many to the sea." - Kelsy Patnaude

In one way or another, all of Kelsy's work is about the sublime and gender relation to the sea. A painter and yacht captain living in Newport RI, Patnaude explores awe, fear, and the role of women in the sailing industry in her work.

Her close friend, Cole Brauer, is the first American woman to race solo non-stop around the world and the only female competitor in the 2023-24 Global solo Challenge.

This exquisite 100' panorama work currently on exhibit at the Newport Art Museum (a ThamesGiver) pictorially tells the epic tale of a 29-year-old woman's 130 days at sea, accompanied by Patnaude's journal of their voyage.

Run, don't walk, to see this beautiful story in person!

It's the perfect time to shop for Thanksgiving host and hostess gifts! Or add some elegance and light spice scent to your own home as you prepare for guests!

Consider gifting yourself or your host a gorgeous and elegant ThamesGiving Pear ◇ Thyme ◇ Black Pepper candle handmade by Luxurious Luminaries!

I know they will be a favorite gift to receive among my holiday gift list!!
