thinking holiday

It’s that time of year again. The month of August launches my annual holiday design craze. While I spend a bit more time brainstorming for 2010, I thought I’d share a couple of faves from last year.

a snippet of our cape cod vacation

We recently visited the beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts for our family vacation. And while it was our fourth time vacationing there, it felt like our first. There is so much to see and so much to do. A relaxed community full of charming towns adorned with natural beauty. We stayed in Brewster and took day trips to Chatham, Hyannis, Orleans and Martha’s Vineyard. One week is certainly not enough time to soak it all in. It always leaves me wanting more. Here are a couple of my fave photos from our trip.

I have a thing for these gorgeous distressed wooden buoys. Something so cool about them. They were everywhere and kept catching my eye.

Chatham fish pier where the fishing boats unload their catch.

The workers at the fish pier charmed the crowd by throwing fish into the water to attract the seals. Awesome site!

Old Glory at a Brewster Whitecaps baseball game.

Front lawn of our resort.

Frisbee on the lawn with the boys. Super fun!

The lovely Martha’s Vineyard.

With a natural artistic eye, Drew transformed the untouched seaweed into silly faces.

introducing...cambridge

I wanted to share with you the lovely Cambridge. It didn’t quite make the cut for the New England collection, but I still love it to pieces! The pretty lavender and apple green make for a perfect combination.
