![]() I’ve made it many times since then, always meaning to snag a photo and share this story here on the blog – but it was always inhaled before I had the time to do so. So when I got everything home and connected the dots I was stoked. I also had picked up a binder of recipes that she’d collected – that has every winning recipe from the Crab Derby going back all the way to 1963! I’m pleased to report that her Crab Bisque was in the binder as well. ![]() My mom and dad live in Crisfield, so that made it special to me too. She had entered her “Crab Bisque Chincoteague” in their recipe contest that year, and took home the Grand Prize! Which, is truly an honor. Taped on the back is a copy of a check made out to Mrs. It is right at home in my living room! The second was a poster for the 1988 Crab Derby held in Crisfield, Maryland. It’s framed in a really rustic nautical looking frame – I just love it. The first is a full page ad for Old Bay Seasoning’s 75th Anniversary, that ran in the Baltimore Sun back on Memorial Day weekend of 2014. My favorite finds were two advertising items. I couldn’t help but feel an instant connection. It was an older couple’s family beach house for decades, filled with treasures collected from a lifetime of loving this unique little spot I’m lucky to call home. All my favorite books lined the shelves – Beautiful Swimmers, A Sand County Almanac, A Gift From The Sea, random Eastern Shore history books. Beautiful kitchen equipment, lovely nautical themed linens, vintage Shore Stop drink coolers (growing up, EVERYONE had one to take to the beach). Upon entering I could tell this was my kinda lady. In the spring of 2019 I visited an estate sale here on Chincoteague Island.
