ABOUT NANNY M

Mother of Yoanie, Grandmother of Sherry - Elegant, gracious and stylish, Janet, aka Jane, aka Nanny was a clothes horse from a young age.  Born in Boston, she summered at Pemberton Point on the South Shore of Massachusetts.  There she experienced summer dances, beach parties and The Pemberton - a hotel “bar of generous proportions”. 

During the “roaring 20’s” she donned her summer flapper dresses and celebrated the period by traveling with her father on the Cunard steamship line to Europe.  In 1923 she moved her joyful spirit to Mt Holyoke College, the oldest of the Seven Sisters Women’s Colleges where she graduated with a BS degree in sociology.  After marriage she and her husband moved their summer activities to Duxbury, MA, where she was a regular at the Duxbury Talbots shop (an early Talbots charge plate holder) sharing her love of classic, tailored clothing with her granddaughters (one being Sherry) each July. 

Drink of choice - a very light bourbon and water highball with extra ice.
