sandals and cute summer skirts  What will you be saying farewell to this summer? |
We were scheduled to take a Ferry later today to Nantucket for the holiday weekend. It's our Anniversary and we were so excited to enjoy a nice long relaxing weekend getaway. But Earl has put a damper in our plans for today! I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather clears by tomorrow because I am looking forward to long walks on the beach, bike rides around the island, and sunset dinners.
It looks like bathing suits and summer dresses are not an option at this point. Instead, I might be packing a trench coat, umbrella, and boots.

| {This belted plaid trench is a great option too} |

A couple of months ago we went to London for vacation and to visit family and one day while shopping I noticed a variety of colorful teapots in the display window at Whittard of Chelsea. This store has the best selection of fine loose tea, teapots, tea cups and mugs. So my aunt and cousin were so sweet and thoughtful and bought a tea pot set for my daughter. She loves it and she has "tea time" almost everyday. I also love the mugs and tea pot they gave me as a gift. They are so bright and stylish and perfect to use when friends stop over for a cup of tea.
Our vacation week in Maui is almost over and we will soon be back to reality. I thought I would share a few pictures from the week and some of the things I loved about this vacation.
What do you love most about vacation?
Aloha from Maui, Hawaii. We are having a great time on vacation this week. One of our favorite things to do is to eat our meals at the bar. It gives us a chance to interact with some of the locals and other guests sitting at the bar. My husband and I typically order appetizers and share them as our meal. This way we get a nice sampling of the flavors and we don't end up over eating. Last night we had this amazing tomato soup, Tuna Tartare, and Seafood Risotto at Spago Restaurant.
