The Flowers of Nantucket

Hello Everyone,

This past Sunday, my hubby and I took my friend Deb over to Nantucket for the day.  As some of you know my hubby has his pilot's license and loves to fly. 

While we were there, I had to take tons of photos, but the ones that I love the most are of all the flowers.  I especially love the ones of the various window box vignettes.

I wanted to give you all a little tour of them.


This one is one of my favorites.  It is a yellow house like mine and has these glorious pink petunias which is my favorite color!!


Aren't these Shasta Daisies phenomenal!! They were just HUGE... they acted as a hedgerow.  A very beautiful one at that!


Love the white picket fence.


The hydrangea blooms are fantastic.  These are all on their last legs, but the burgundy color is gorgeous.


See what I mean....


Loved this little house... it was for sale, but waaaaaayyyy out of our price range.  And it was actually bigger than it looks.... 4,200 square feet.


This house is all set for the fall already.  Love the little mini pumpkins and the mums.


Glorious purple.


Loving the orange with the greenery.


Beautiful!


More pink petunias, right up my alley!


Another white fence and gate.


These window boxes are just packed full!  


Perfectly preened garden.  Just wonderful.  See the one lonely purple hydrangea left? 


Beautiful green!

I hope you enjoyed the Nantucket tour.  If you want to see more photos from our day trip, just click here.

Until Next Time...

Antique Quilts On Nantucket

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday was a lovely day and my husband, good friend Nora, and I decided to fly over to Nantucket for the day.  We did a ton of walking and saw lots of great things, but I wanted to share the quilts that we found at this wonderful antique shop...


This was the entry way!!  There is my hubs making his way inside.  Can you just tell this is going to be a great Antique shop??


Another quilt in the window.


Look at this gorgeous stack of red and white quilts.


Blue and white... Oh my!


But this is what got me... Look at this wall of quilts!!! There were so many lovelies to look at, but I will show you my two favorites.


This one was my first favorites.  Look at the appliqué and the embroidery... just impeccable.


A beauty!


This star pattern and the use of the black, pink and white fabrics were to die for....


This grandmother's flower garden is gorgeous!!


This one had tiny flowers...


A wool penny rug.


A teeny sewing machine.


A quilt top made from state fair ribbons.


Another gorgeous block from my first favorite quilt.  LOVE!!


This is my second favorite.  Love the colors!!


Here is my favorite... LOVE every block and just gorgeous!! If only I could have taken these two home... If only!!

We did tons more things and then it was time to go home....
