A Traditional Summer House On Nantucket

When I think about where i would love to have  a summer home, Nantucket , would be the choice, hands down.  It is quintessential New England..The beach, salt air, the sea, the fishing and the chicness. Some of my  fondess memories have been spent on  this beautiful island. Nantucket is the peak of chic for coastal living. When I came across this home in The recent issue of Traditional home, I wanted to share it. This home blends both the traditional and coastal style.

Wedding Bells Are Going To Chime


I hope everyone had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend, and are ready to kick off the summer. I know I am!. I have some very exciting news to share with you. I have been keeping a secret  for several months, and have been unable to say anything. My dear sweet son Matthew became engaged this weekend! I could not say a word  because my future daughter in law is a friend and a follower  of my blog. Our family is ecstatic to welcome Maggie into our family! Matt is my 2nd oldest of  four children and the 1st to get married. I can hardly believe my baby is getting married! Matt met Maggie through, yours truly...yep mama fixed her son up. Who better than mom right? Well we know how these stories normally turn out, not well. I knew when I met Maggie and got to know her she was perfect for  Matt.. Maggie worked with me, and was new to the area. I told her I had just the guy for her, they have been inseparable from day one. She is a beautiful young woman inside and out, and will be proud to have her as my daughter in law.  As cliche as it sounds, I am not losing a son I am in fact adding another daughter to our family.They have set the date already April 14, 2012.  I am so excited! and can't wait to share the planning with you. Maggie and Matt want the whole family included in  the wedding, this will truly make this a family affair!

So when we got home from our camping trip this weekend, I did what every annoying future  Mother -in -law would do, I started at looking at things for them Gifts, accessories and ideas for the wedding. Oh my Gosh.... I am in heaven! I told  Maggie  I will respect my  MIL boundaries and keep my mouth shut unless asked!
 I  was looking at the new Coastal Collection from Wisteria  Oh so pretty! I already want to start buying them stuff!  I think the wedding will most certainly have a coastal feel.. I will keep you updated. EEEEEEE!
