Some of My Favorite Nantucket Things. {a giveaway!}
If you follow along on instagram then you’ve already got a big (over)dose of the past five days that I spent in Nantucket.
I never wanted to leave. absolutelyinlove.
We were there working with Pavan for the annual Nantucket Film Festival and it was simply a blast. I’m going to tell you all about that in more posts to come (complete photo overload on it’s way) and I can’t wait to share what we did and most importantly: WHERE WE ATE. Even if it rained the entire freaking time. Seriously. The entire time.
Then we came home to solid downpours. It just follows me.
In the meantime, I went on a few adventures in Nantucket in search of some cool local products that I could share with you since I couldn’t frolic on the beach in my downtime. That included spending a good chunk of time in the bakery (shocker), the local farmer’s market on saturday morning (omg, love!) and a bunch of boutique-y shops. My absolute favorite was called ambrosia (I think they have an actual website, but I can’t get it to load), which is an artisan chocolate, spices and tea store. You don’t even want to KNOW what I came home with. I’m going to tell you soon anyway, but it consists of wonderful things like merlot salt, rose powder and organic dark chocolate cocoa nib hot cocoa mix.
Ugh. So good.
Since we all fell in love with so much of this incredible local stuff, Pavan offered to give away some of my local favorites to six of you. We are giving away treat bags with some goodies from ambrosia, tafari organics (I bought hibiscus syrup from there… omg), embody (all natural bath and body products), petticoat row bakery and small town girl.
I enjoyed everything in Nantucket so much, but especially loved the local culture. It reminded me a lot of Northern Michigan… and if you’ve been following along for a few years, you know we are there every summer and it’s my favorite place in the world.
If it wasn’t for my nostalgia and family ties, Nantucket would rival it. Totally serious. We want to go back every summer.

Hi, I am absolutely in love with Nantucket! My husband and I would go every year, but since we have had our children, we haven’t been able to get back. We are hoping to get there for our 20 wedding anniversary in September. So many wonderful places…Black Eyed Susans, Brotherhood of Thieves, Nantucket Vineyards/Cisco Brewery, Something Natural, Henry’s, etc!!!! Too much to name.
Would be a treat to win!
Thanks!

Organic rose powder! I want to play in the kitchen with that!
Looks like you had a great trip!! Jealous :)
I grew up vacationing in Harbor Springs, MI and absolutely love Lake Michigan
These goodies all look so lovely! I can’t get enough of your photos as well!
merlot salt and hibiscus syrup? very cool!
yum!
Wow, sounds like a great trip! Nantucket is beautiful.
Hi! Where in northern michigan do you go? I’m in northport, is Nantucket really as beautiful? Busier? We are getting so busy! I would love to try those products! Why don’t my hydrangea look like those? Happy 4 th of July!
So. freaking. fantastic.
Like them on FB!

those hydrangeas are gorg!
I love any kind of caramel sauce!
I LOVE hydrangeas, especially since I learned their name!! Dark, dark chocolate is its own food group! And by the way, you are just so cute, those sunglasses, my fave style, look so good on you! You ROCK them!! TOTALLY!!
Be patient with your hydrangeas. It took a couple of years for mine to bloom regularly. Make sure, too, that you don’t trim them at the wrong time or you won’t have blooms the following year.
Mine are blooming beautifully now. I actually think they look almost as good as your pictures! I have to keep them well watered. My biggest problem now is keeping the deer away – but I use a good repellent for that.
Swoon! Making me want to visit Nantucket and Pavan in person! Will have to live vicariously through pictures instead.
So love Nantucket AND Northern Michigan!
It sounds like you had a ton of fun! I need to put Nantucket on my places-to-visit list.
Jealous!
Sounds like so much fun!
Love! Now I want to visit.
