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.

My family took a vacation to Nantucket when I was in grade school and I want to go back so bad!
Sounds perfect!
I’d love to go to Nantucket some day – a perfect summer vacation! I can’t wait for more pictures!
Consider me entered! Nantucket is one of my dream vacations, I’m glad to hear you liked it so much.
I can’t wait to see more photos! I love the one with the bicycle and the flowers, so fresh! Having constant rain suuuucks, but I’m glad you had a nice time anyway (I mean…there was food, that’s a win right there).
It’s really nice of you to hold a giveaway, especially for SIX people :)
Thank you!

Fell in love with Nantucket 15 years ago. Even remember the name of the house we stayed in on the beach that dreamy October…the Jib Crib. We ate, read, and fell in love with Nantucket. One of our last vacas before kids. Wonderful memories.
Love the gorgeous hydrangeas!
Your pictures are stunning! Glad you had a great time; Nantucket is definitely on my bucket list.
Memories of a special place are very powerful.
Loved all of your posts on instagram of this trip and can’t wait to hear recaps. I think the photos of the goldens might have been my favorites though…
Followed on Twitter :)
Nantucket is one of my favorite places too! The food. The architecture. The hydrangeas! I spent a few years trying to turn my house into a little Nantucket-style beach shack! Seven hydrangeas and counting. That island is just such a special place. Did you get to eat at Brotherhood of Thieves? That place is awesome.
I’ve never been to Nantucket – I’ll have to put it on my list – sounds wonderful :)
sounds like you had fun! thanks for the giveaway
I’ve always dreamed of visiting Nantucket after reading all of Elin Hilderbrand’s novels. Can’t wait to see more pictures!!!
I think Nantucket will be the next sisters’ and mom girls weekend getaway this fall!
Looks like a great time!
Such gorgeous photos! Now all I can think about is going on vacation!
Have always wanted to go there myself, and now I really want to! All sounds wonderful!
I am totally intrigued by the rose powder. Must try.

Hoping to get over there myself this summer as I have a cousin who is the chef at one of the restaurants!
I can’t even handle how gorgeous your photos are – I mean really?! I think we need to make Nantucket a HUGE priority on our vacay wishlist now!
Sounds absolutely wonderful! I love beachy towns with boutiques. As a Michigander, Holland, MI has become my new favorite. i went for the tulip festival a few months ago!
also, I followed paven on instagram and liked them on FB ;)
I’ve been to Nantucket once, and stayed at a quiet little hostel, where we cooked fresh fiddleheads and fish. Fun memories. Love your photos and stories!
