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.

Very cool giveaway!
Wow that looks lovely~
Everything looks so summery and dreamy – I definitely woulda ripped up my return flight ticket ;)
Your trip looks fantastic! Having visited the US several times growing up, I’ve always heard good things about Nantucket. Your post has now confirmed I need to visit. Farmers markets and boutique shops sound ideal for me, but Ambrosia sounds out of this world!
In the UK Ambrosia is a make of custard, but Nantucket’s Ambrosia is definitely more suited to me!
Lovely post as always.
N xo
I might just have to rethink my vacation plans after this! I liked them on facebook as well :)
It looks like you had so much fun! Those drinks and caramel sauce look so yummy!! My husband and I are going to be traveling to New England for our anniversary this fall. I’m soo excited to experience the local culture and shop in the local boutiques. :)
Nantucket looks like a dream! I hope to visit someday.
