Okay, but who won…

…congratulations to both LINDA RICE and SUMMER ANDERSON!
You two ladies are the winners!!
I emailed you both this morning. Please email me back ASAP to claim your prizes!

My random pics around town are always a favorite of mine each week during the summer…

…like breakfast with my boy! Smith had friends leave on Friday and then worked all day Saturday and Sunday and then had another friend come on Monday…so I was thrilled to get a minute with him for breakfast in between. Geez, I love this kid.

We love beach days! Mades is always drawing and…

…Ashby is always reading 🙂 .

All the boats are back. I just LOVE looking at boats. From dinghies to cruise liners, boats fascinate me.

Early mornings and late evenings are my favorite times to be in town…





Our happy place!

I shared this three years ago, but we decided to *try* and only hang things on our walls here on Nantucket that we purchased on island. I especially like adding details from local artists and shops. We have slowly but surely added a few pieces including…

…a few in the dining area. I shared in THIS POST all of the details/resources about our kitchen including the art by our sweet friend Pete (he does the fish prints!), but we added a few other details this season.

We updated our table setting and added a few more things on the wall.

Our placemats and napkins are from the very popular shop called Nantucket Looms (it’s been on island over 50 years!)…

…and our plates are from a shop called Centre Pointe. Each dinner plate has the name of a different beach here on island…


…here are just a few 🙂 .

We also added…

…a painting of the harbor from Anderson’s Nantucket along with…

…clay horseshoe crabs from Sylvia’s Antiques. They weird and quirky and found here on Nantucket (the artist used deceased ones he found as the molds).

We have a SECOND giveaway to announce today!
On our last SUMMER SATURDAY post, I hosted a $100 GIFT CARD TO SEPHORA!
The winner of that giveaway is KATE SANDORA! I emailed you this morning as well, Kate!
Some of my favorite Sephora finds right now are…

…LANEIGE, of course!

I have been LOVING this CHEEK GLOW! I have been wearing it every day!
I have also been loving…

…this REFY PRIMER. Kensington had it and told me to try it…I loved it so much that when we went to Hyannis, I bought myself some. I put it over my sunscreen and under my foundation.

We have been using this SALT & STONE lotion and body wash in the upstairs bathroom. It smells like summertime at the beach.
And speaking of amazing smells…

…I am still obsessed with my DAE HAIRSPRAY. Not only does it work really well, it smells like the most delicious tropical vacation.

I love getting photos, videos and feedback from our clients. Right now, we are getting SO MANY amazing pictures from clients disembarking from their Alaskan cruises. This sweet family sent the most amazing photos and details about their trip. I had to share just a bit of it…


I LOVE getting texts like this (she sent me such a great detailed email too!).
Here are some more pics of their sweet family on their Alaskan cruise…


If you’re thinking about an Alaskan cruise next summer, now is the time to book! Contact us today for more information. We would LOVE to send you there too…or anywhere else in the world! You can reach us HERE for all of our vacation planning services.

I’m wrapping up today with…

…9 SIMPLE SUMMER SALADS! They’re all easy and delish, y’all!
Thank you for being here this week with me. I’m excited to see you all back here tomorrow too.
Enjoy your summer Friday! xx






Katie Stewart says
Those chargers and plates! 😍
I love every lip balm or lip mask from Laneige!
Seeing all of these pictures of Smith (even if it is just a forearm or part of a leg 😂) is making me SAD thinking about how quickly these babies grow up. I have four of my own (10, 7, 4, and 4 months) and every bit of it is breaking my heart and making it whole all at once!
Liz says
Love the local art idea and your choices are great/ coastal. I know readers love to look at your pictures for inspiration – a corner banquette instead of a long table would be a great choice for this set up. It would allow for some storage in banquette, frees up walking space.. I love using them in multi use spaces. Sunbrella fabric cushion works great inside.
Happy weekend !
Jami Romano says
Happy Friday! Love the new table settings ◡̈
Dawn Timmons says
I love the dinner plates and placemats! They are beautiful! The table looks so nice. 😊
You have set such a great reading example for your kids (and us). More things are “caught than taught”! Who are some of Ashby’s favorite authors or what are some of her current favorite books?
Mix and Match Mama says
She is such a reader! I just love it so much! I’m not sure I could even narrow in much on one particular author. She is just really into YA books right now 🙂 .
Sheaffer says
Such pretty pics of your dining room. AND THOSE PLACE SETTINGS!!!!
Elspeth Mizner says
So many fun moments!
Do you have a post on what to do on Nantucket if you are only there for a day?
Happy Friday!

Mix and Match Mama says
No, but I’m going to do one!
jennibell says
Wow, such great FAVORITES here!! Thanks for the Sephora shopping list :). Love your dining room updates too. Have a beautiful weekend. And that Alaskan cruise sounds AMAZING but we went to Ireland in early June this year and my husband said, “no more cold vacations” – ha! Need to give him some time to forget that statement. . .this is on my list. . . .
Kathy says
Love seeing pics from Nantucket!
Laura Holmes says
I love those horseshoe crabs on your wall! What a creative art display. It’s so fun to find unique items that can’t be seen in everyone’s home.
Sarah DeWald says
I booked my Alaskan cruise with you for August 2026 and I CANNOT WAIT now after seeing these amazing pictures.
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY! Sarah, we are SO excited to send you!!
Amanda says
Super random, Shay, but I feel like you and your sweet family would love youtuber Ryan Trahan and his wife, Haley — they’re visiting 50 states in 50 days this summer and are raising money for St. Jude’s along the way. Our family is obsessed 🙂
Amanda says
Words collided!! Peter Attia just donated on Ryan Trahan’s donation page today!

Lisa C in Richardson says
Have your girls bought the drawing books for local (Lewisville) Alli K? She’s a muralist but also authors drawing books for kids and adults. She just finished the sculpture piece in downtown McKinney.
Mix and Match Mama says
We are unfamiliar with her work! Thank you for the rec!
Marisa Patel says
I love the updates to the dining room, very aesthetic as my youngest would say.
Karah Stracener says
I love all the pictures around town. I think I have 1000 pictures of Nantucket on my phone. I can’t get enough pictures of all the hydrangeas. I am going to have to try the DAE hairspray. My girls and I love the DAE styling wand.
Laci says
the table setting swoon!!
Debbra Weber says
Thank you to your Alaskan cruise client who shared her story and pictures. That is definitely somewhere I would love to travel to someday. Have a great Friday and weekend!
Andrea says
I’m obsessed with that Salt and Stone body wash. It’s so good!
Stacy says
I love looking at your photos of Nantucket! And those plates are adorable.
Stacie says
That table setting is absolute perfection and I LOVE that you’re supporting local! What a gorgeous space to bring the family around the table.

Ann says
I love the horseshoe crabs on the wall! So cool!
I am going to have to try the Salt and Stone! I saw Schaeffer post about the deodorant!
Leslie Wilcox says
The dishes and artwork are fabulous. You home is just lovely and so is the island. Thank you for all the gorgeous photos.
Erin says
Love your place settings! 😍
Deb says
Love your eye for decorating! I wish I had that talent.
Nicole says
Hey!! I got those digestive enzymes you use and was wondering when/how often you have them? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I take them every day after my lunch 🙂 .
Megan says
I absolutely LOVE your dining room! The whole aesthetic of your Nantucket home is so classic-right out of a magazine! Your posts just make me so happy!
MIRANDA BODENHAMER says
I love those horseshoe crabs!!! What a fun addition to your dining room wall.
Lindi says
The table settings are very pretty. Especially the plates with beach names. I feel like those will be heirlooms. Here’s a practical question. Do you leave your table set like this until you use it, or did you do that for us to see it?
Mix and Match Mama says
Right now, I’m leaving it set, and we’re using plates, washing and replacing (because I feel like someone is always eating). When we leave for the season, I will put them away.
Amy says
Patiently waiting to see the updated bathrooms, please!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am patiently waiting for my mirrors to get framed…sigh.
Natalie Bayliff says
I have questions about place settings. Do you use them for each meal and after washing them, you put them back? Or just for dinner? It looks so good and I’d love the logistical details if you have time. (My family never did this growing up – I want to!) Thanks, Shay! You’re like the big sister we all needed!
Mix and Match Mama says
I try to not be crazy precious about things here, so we use them for whatever…dinner, if they want one with their lunch, etc. Then we just wash they and put them back.
Kacy M says
The horseshoe crabs are so cute!!
Alisha says
I have known SO many people going on Alaskan cruises this season. All the photos are incredible!!! Makes me want to go again!
Jenny N says
I love the new plates on your table…..they are perfect!! I’m putting that new blush on my list for my next Sephora run….it has so many great reviews!
Jeanette says
Congratulations to all the winners! Happy shopping! I love all the local pieces you are using to decorate your home. I can see why you and your family had to have a home there, it all looks so dreamy in every.single.picture.
