our trip to maine

last month robert & I escaped to new england for a long weekend. our friends moved up to portland, maine a few months ago, so we'd been planning to get up to visit them before it got too cold (which for me is like 60°f. gimme a break- I'm from florida).

{cape elizabeth, maine - so relaxing}

{does this look like a puzzle or what?!}

{wild flowers grow everywhere}

{so does the fruit}

{the most amazing hosts, dani & mark}

{we took the ferry to peak's island & explored the whole thing by foot}

{how cute is the island post office?}

{watch out, jonah!}

we also spent some time in portsmouth, new hampshire, which was just as beautiful. thanks to our incredible friends & tour guides, mark & dani, who took us all over the place & kept us well fed (seriously, we ate & drank at so many good restaurants. I may have to do a separate post just on food!).

whoopie pies

so apparently maine is known for their whoopie pies. and the locals argue on whose are better: cranberry island kitchen or two fat cats bakery. so of course I had to try both so I could make a fair assessment.

{delicious, creamy, fresh whoopie pies}

{cranberry island kitchen- as seen on martha}

{the expresso-flavored pie was delicious. & all are shaped like clams!}

I'll have to call it a tie. 

angela adams

robert & I have always been fans of designer angela adams. we got an amazing deal on one of her manfred rugs while in savannah a few years back. and we also have these lulu drinking glasses from the moca store, as well a few of these beautiful trays. so when visiting portland, the angela adams store was a top priority. it was absolutely beautiful & full of amazing art in the form of rugs, furniture, pillows, bags & stationary.

new england wedding

robert and I are escaping this weekend to maine to visit some friends. while I'll always be a southern gal, I envy this new england wedding. lobsters, bibs, red & white stripes. how preppy & fun!
