Went to ACK and never came bACK
A perfect Sunday morning on island
I have been very lucky to have spent quite a lot of time on this precious little island since I was very little.
My favorite memories include a seagull stealing my Something Natural sandwich after enjoying a mere bite, surfing at sunset to come back to shore and hear that sharks like sunset surfers, spotting the “wild animals” on the way to Siasconset, house parties in Siasconset, bonfires on the beach and lining up at The Juice Bar with my younger cousins while our parents stay out. Twenty-something summers of stories to be shared and many to not tell in front of my parents…
When we were invited to bop around for a dear friend’s bachelorette on Nantucket, I couldn’t have been more delighted. I hadn’t truly been for the sake of stitching! Revisiting Erica Wilson as a needlepoint designer was a treat and the perfect setting to celebrate our girl. Below you will find snippets of stitching to, on and from the island as well as a bit of the saga that got us there. Enjoy!
A perfect little canvas find at Erica Wilson!
Before we actually made it on the island, a huge storm brewed to the point where we didn’t think we would make it! Large waves were cancelling all the ferries and the winds were projected to get worse the next day. Planes wobbled in the sky and disappeared behind the clouds and gigantic dark clouds shielded the stars. Somehow, we made it. Here’s a little selfie served for ya from Michael’s Craft store… you know… just in case we didn’t get to see the real deal.
