Oh gosh…it seems like forever since I’ve been in this little space of mine! Only a few days back in my city before I headed north for a girls week in Provincetown…affectionately called Ptown. I’d never been in the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts before and had no idea how breathtakingly beautiful the area was going to be! Like my friends in the Netherlands say…I was so “short of eyes” during the entire trip…the Dutch meaning – there was so much to see and take in! All I can say is thank goodness for the Kennedy influence in preserving so much of this little corner of our world and a big shout out to all the creative folks who live there!
We stayed in a little waterfront cottage where the light was always saying… Look at me! Look at me! Luring me in always…
The harbor, excellent restaurants, rolling sand dunes and a lively mix of straight and LGBT made it a fun destination for sure! It’s easy to see why the area attracts photographers and painters…the incredible light and picturesque surroundings make it a paradise for all.
There were walks along the beaches and in the sand dunes…so clean!
Always love the wabi-sabiness and the details!
And walks around the adorable little harbor town…just filled with gardens to die for!
and of course details!
If you aren’t an instagrammer…you can find a couple more pics of homes filled with so much sweetness here and here…and some more details here, here, here and here!
And there was a day of birthday celebration backdrops – surprise! – a future one (my big 6-0!) since we won’t all be together later this year. And it never hurts to start the celebration early, right?!
my favorite…chocolate and white icing…takes me back to my childhood…
The day included a little henna party…as well as wonderful deep conversation on aging…the pulling of tarot cards, as well as animal cards. I pulled the nine of cups…meaning satisfaction, contentment and it’s also referred to as a wish card…meaning a wish will be granted…hmm! I also pulled the crow card…symbolizing creation and spiritual growth. Wow! I’ll take all of this!
But truly…the icing on the birthday cake was a fire on the beach…my first ever…complete with roasted hotdogs, marshmallows and a perfect sunset!
It was just the best week with good weather and really great friends!
I’m a very fortunate girl.
More soon now that I’m settled back in my city!
Loving the lemon light, the wasabi sea breakers and henna art…..x
Whoops I meant wabi-sabi sea breakers…!
Thanks so much Susan!
Wow, it is all just so beautiful, I can’t even pick which photo I love best. I just love it all. So happy you had a fun-filled time. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Love you MORE! XoXo
It was such a great week! Thanks always my dear! xoxo!!
Enjoyed your visit to Ptown. I am from Mass. myself, rarely get there, but do love it. I enjoyed your pics which reminded me of my past visits to the “arm”of the Capt. Thank you
‘Cape’ …sorry
I traveled to Boston quite frequently while working…but never the Cape area and WOW! So beautiful! Thanks Pat!
I’ve just been reading (listening) to some fascinating stories about the Kennedys and up pops your wonderful long beaches
and Kennedy-esque beauty-share…..thank you! I loved strolling along through those gardens with you. And the campfire on the beach – swoon.
So much beauty and great vibe. Thanks for letting us take it all in with you.

Thanks Jennifer! A little paradise for sure and so appreciate the efforts various members of the Kennedy family took to preserve it for future generations! Thanks too for your visits!
Happy early birthday wishes and celebration, Robin. I can just imagine how you loved P-Town. I’ve been there only once…the year Josh Groban was discovered. You could hear him singing in store after store we entered! I’d love to go back and see it all with new eyes. Being “short of eyes” would be an understatement, for sure. CONGRATULATIONS for celebrating in style. You go, Girl.
Thank you! Oh Ginnie you would just LOVE Ptown today and all it offers! I know you would never put your camera down for sure!! Thanks so much for the early birthday love…and speaking of birthdays…Happy Birthday to you today!!
THANK YOU!
Thank you for these fabulous Ptown pictures! So gorgeous, and Happy 60 to you! Beach fire sounds amazing. (I turn 60 this year too!)
Thanks Ruth! Oh…the beach fire…totally amazing! I’m going to still relish the 50’s for a few more months…but it’ll be here soon for sure! Ha! Happy early 60th to you too!
Great pics and happy birthday!
Thanks so much Sal!
P-town is great. Love your vision and view. And – happy birthday (a little early…but never too late)!
What a lovely surprise to hear from you Marcie! Thanks for your visit and sweet comments!
Perfectly gorgeous & fun images! Lovely light and gardens and long stretch of beautiful beach but my favs, of course, are the weathered wood and that sweet teddy bear in the window.
I have never traveled to that part of the country … yet. Looks like a wonderful time was had by all on this trip, especially around that awesome fire.
I could so see us sitting around that fire! It was a beautiful area…had no idea how much I’d love it! Thank you so much my sweet!
I knew you would love it!! And the company is not shabby either!! Xoxo
You told me so! So much fun and the area was just over the top beautiful! So happy for A! Thanks sweetie! xoxo
