Hats Off to Nantucket

I am enjoying my fourth day in Nantucket with two dear & fun girlfriends.  Even with the craziness that summer tourism brings, the Island locals are a very welcoming & out-of-their-way nice!  I am smitten.


We spent the morning picking up supplies for the house and then heading to the beach which is less than 10 minutes from home. It was so refreshing to wade into the water and cool down.  We drove home wet & sticky. 

At home we had cold showers outside & after lunch we all settled into our various creative projects until it was time to drive into old downtown.  






We realized that we all needed hats for the beach so before dinner we headed over to Peter Beaton’s Hat Studio which I had read about before coming here because his hats are quite famous on the Island AND he makes traveling hats! 



The hat I purchased is The Sconset Hat similar to the one in the upper right corner but with a wider ribbon. The young salesgirl showed us how to fold it in half and then roll it up for travel....really!!!


We had dinner reservations at a locals favorite - Queequeg’s!  It was not only delicious but it had air conditioning!  The best!!!

Tomorrow we are heading to Sconset for a Home & Garden Tour!  I just found out that one dresses up for these occasions....wish me luck in this heat!

  1. Glad you're having a god time. and how about that chicken salad recipe? We were going to go to Tahoe this week but it is too smoky so we're having yet another staycation. Point Reyes and Sonoma Mission in spa (which also had smoke. You're in the right place at the right time.

    I'm reviewing my college French again. Where did Mr. B pick up his french skills.
