Well, inspiration came late this week, because on Monday I was in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard in the hot sun taking pictures with my phone that don’t do the eclectic and playful cottages in the Campground justice. It took a ferry, a shuttlebus, a car ride, a taxi, a ferry, a shuttlebus, a flight and a ride home from a friend to get back to the laptop, and it was totally worth it. The bright colors, the creative trim work, the exuberant windowboxes, the front porch culture and most of all, the rocking chairs create such a distinct look. Some of the communities that have grown out of the era of the camp meeting are about the cutest places I’ve ever seen, and they always seem to be in the greatest locations. I’ve spied them from time to time in magazines like Cottage Living - some are still tents or are half-tent/half-cottage hybrids, some are now beach cabanas, others are cottages. Do you have a favorite? Do you have pictures of it? If so, please share with us in the comments section!

Happy Fourth of July Everyone! I passed this house in Hingham Massachusetts on Friday, all ready for the big parade. The road even had a red, white, and blue stripe down the middle instead of a double yellow:

Every time I look at this photograph from peachheights, I laugh. After all of the lobster and pie I’ve been eating this summer, I look a lot like this statue when I do my sun salutes!

This picture from girlhula just makes me happy. It also makes me miss my red and turquoise bedroom. Check out more of girlhula’s inspiring photography on her blog. You may also purchase select prints in her Etsy shop.
