Happy Saturday, friends!
I hope you have super fun weekend plans ahead of you. The sun is shining, so we are beach bound today!
Yes and amen.
Alrighty, grab your coffee and settle in for some bonus Saturday blog fun starting with…
I mean, I just love my dogs so much.
If you looked through my camera roll, you would find out that 90% of my photos are of my pups.
Charlie is the only dog that likes to watch other dogs on TV…so we watch a lot of Bluey for him.
I am very confident that our dogs will be with us in Heaven 🙂 .
We LOVE sending clients on cruises…but we especially love sending clients on BRAND NEW CRUISE SHIPS!
The Princess Sun is new in the water and our clients are already loving it!
Gorgeous ships plus beautiful ports of call make us happy.
You can set sail with us right now too! Princess in particular is having HOLIDAY DEALS with fares from $599+ up to 40% off plus on select sailings 3rd and 4th guests are free. If you want more information and a quote, please contact us today! We would LOVE to help you get on a cruise this year!
One of the oldest and most popular shops on Nantucket is…
…Nantucket Looms. This Main Street establishment has been around for over 50 years. Not only do they sell beautiful pieces for the home, but they actually make their throws, shawls, placemats and more right there on the second floor of the shop…
…you are allowed to visit the upstairs area and watch them work and ask them questions about the process.
She is making the very placemats here that we have on our kitchen table…
…isn’t that so much fun?!
This shop is a Nantucket must! They sell beautiful candles, jewelry and home decor items as well as their new…
…coffee table book which I quickly picked up this season and have really enjoyed. It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous book.
I’m totally digging my BIKER SHORTS 🙂 .
These BIKER SHORTS come in a variety of colors, but I picked white for summertime. I love the pockets on the side because it’s perfect for my phone. Love.
Speaking of shorts and love…
…from Athleta are now on sale! As well as…
…so many other great things! You can see my favorite ATHLETA’S SALE ITEMS HERE!
You can also see…
…my TARGET BACK TO SCHOOL ROUND UP HERE as well!
Anyone else getting a little excited about back to school season?! It always makes me happy.
And to wrap things up today, it’s time for our weekly giveaway!

I love the fact that they use the looms above the shop and you can observe! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful part of our country!
Carrie Martens says
I’m with you. I also believe my sweet pups, Wrigley and Penny will be in heaven with us one day. How could they not?
Mix and Match Mama says
How could they not. xx
Sara says
Shay,
Have you read the book or seen the show on Netflix called “The Perfect Couple with Nicole Kidman?”
It’s based in Nantucket and I think you would love it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have!! I was late to the party, but I have watched it. I loved the book too!
Kim says
My dogs will be there too. All dogs go to heaven 🧡 the lion will lay down with the lamb!
Nicole says
Love those Athleta shorts!! I have them! 🥰
Kristin says
I definitely would like to be reunited with my cats someday. I just hope the ones that didn’t get along can give it a rest and be friends in heaven!
Elspeth Mizner says

Bren says
I’m sure you’ve seen them also, but the reels on IG (or TikTok, or wherever) that say “I can’t wait to get to heaven and see this”…and then it’s a video of a beloved pup running towards them? Me = 🥲 every single time as I cannot wait to see our beloved pups (pets) again in heaven someday.
Love-love-love everything you share about Nantucket! The colors, the hydrangeas, just everything. Happy summer Saturday!
Janice says
Happy Saturday!
Lori R says
That is so neat that they let you go upstairs to watch them making placemats and other items! That makes your placemats extra special too!
Lauren Gingerich says
Happy Saturday! I love your green sweatshirt. Where is it from?
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought it at the restaurant here called Cru 🙂 . Green is my favorite color!
Elizabeth B says
Every summer I’m amazed to see how much unique beauty they pack onto that island! Thank you for sharing!
Elizabeth says
Pictures of your pups right there with you always make me smile! Thank you for sharing!! We have a cavapoo and he is never far away from me either 😀
Peyton Cline says
I saw on TikTok this morning that they have a YouTube channel called Siesta Dog TV that has videos with the colors that dogs can see 💙 Thought your Bluey-loving pup might enjoy it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am looking that up right now! THANK YOU!
Erika Slaughter says
Awwww!! Miss Madeley!! We miss her!
Lisa N says
Love these Saturday post. The loom shop seems so sweet! Crazy question: what brand is that tv? (Ask Andrew😉) The color on it is incredible.
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s a Samsung!
Janna says
So interesting to hear about Nantucket. Enjoying Saturday posts. Thanks to you (and your mama) for recommending Colleen Rothschild several years ago. Love all her products.
Suzanne Douglass says
The beach slogan you posted above is 100% me and my husband!
Reba says
Those placemats are gorgeous! The teacher in me loves that they let people see the process & ask questions! The coffee table book looks divine!!! And 100%– sweet puppies will be in Heaven with us.
Irene Kelly says
Have you read Elin Hildenbrand’s new book on the best places to go on Nantucket ? I believe it is her first non fiction book.
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t purchased it, but I’ve seen it. I need to buy it! I’m not sure why I haven’t?!
Brittany Thomas says
How cute is that coffee table book!
Erin says
How cool that you can watch them create! I think I could spend some major time doing just that!
Jeanne Cobianchi says
My camera roll is all pup too! Nantucket seems to be so magical!!
Allison Hoover says
I’ve been using Coleen Rothschild products for 3 years now bc you shared! I LOVE the cleanser!! Nantucket is so beautiful!
Mix and Match Mama says
The cleanser is my FOREVER favorite!
Dana J says
Love living vicariously through you with the Nantucket posts!! One day I hope to get there and see it myself! Have a great day at the beach!!
Caeli says
That coffee table book looks adorable!
Debbie E says
Great post. Anything to do with pups makes me smile. My two are in heaven waiting for me, I truly believe that. And awesome giveaway. I’m obsessed with the shampoo and conditioner. Fingers crossed!😉 Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Laura says
I’m one of those people who can’t stay at the beach long. But give me a cabana and I’ll hang with you.
Diana says
Oh my goodness, what a treat to see my husband and I are on your blog this morning! We loved our time on the Sun Princess for our 20th anniversary! Happy Saturday!
Mix and Match Mama says
You guys are the SWEETEST! Thank YOU for allowing us to be a part of your very special anniversary trip. xx
Jenn Workman says
Hi Diana! Did you love the ship? I am in the process of having Brooke plan a cruise for me- yay! I have a couple of questions…
Were there a lot of kids on board?
Would you choose to sail on that ship again?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Tracy says
We visited Nantucket for the first time last summer so I love seeing all of your pictures—it’s so beautiful and quaint! We didn’t know about Nantucket Looms though. I’m sorry we missed it! We’ll have to go back. We did go to the Roller Rabbit pop up!
Lori Linsmeyer says
My sister is a weaver in Wisconsin. I have so much of her woven rugs, placemats and wall hangings. I love homemade things!
Mix and Match Mama says
How sweet and special is that?! I asked one of the women weaving how she learned and she said she got a college degree in it. How cool, right?!
Kacey says
GREAT weather today!! Probably heading to the beach with my book later too ☺️
Side note: I had a client request Nantucket themed cookies for a girls getaway this weekend and the whole time I was making them I kept thinking of you all!
Diane says
Agree that we will see our dogs in heaven. I also believe that our dogs that have gone to the rainbow bridge have sent us our next fur baby. Now that does mean that our quirky rescue Shar Pei sent us an equally quirky, adorable little white rescue pup named “Angel”. So many Godwink moments if we look for them! Hugs from Waco !
SANDRA OLDEN says
I started using the Colleen Rothchild shampoo because of your review. My hair is thicker and healthier than ever. I have thick hair anyway but it is now thicker. Love it.
WhittyWife (Lindsay) says
Shay, is your Instagram glitching? I’m not able to see yours or Andrew’s anymore, and I miss my daily dose of happiness in your stories. 😭
And I completely agree/hope that my 5 pups will be in Heaven with us. 💕 Excited about the CR giveaway – I’ve been using their products for a few years now since seeing your rec! Happy Beach Saturday!
Bridget Wright says
Love your summer Saturday posts! Wow and another fun giveaway!
Patty Anderson says
Well heck yeah, our pups will be with us in Heaven! I chuckled at your bike shorts. I ride often, and mine have a nice chamois in them. When you first put them on, it feels like a diaper. But oh, you wouldn’t want to ride without them! Love, love them creativity in the looming process!
Lauren Palomo says
What a great peek at Nantucket Looms. Didn’t realize they made products on the 2nd floor and you can go up and watch. So cool! Enjoy your beautiful beach day!!
Miranda Bodenhamer says
I think you’ve mentioned this before, do the dogs go to the beach?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Not every time but often!
Laura says
Sitting at the airport and heading to Nantucket tomorrow for 2 days! Can’t wait I love your posts and have been duly influenced to visit your cute summer island.
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!!!! I hope you’re having the BEST time!!
Christa Liso says
I LOVE your green sweatshirt! That is so cute with the biker shorts.
Katie Stewart says
I love all the white that you incorporate into your wardrobe. I will ONE DAY be able to confidently wear white! With 10, 7, and 4 year olds, along with a 4 month old… white gives me the shivers right now! 😆😆
Do you have a go-to grocery store on Nantucket? I would love to see a haul, if so! ❤️
Mix and Match Mama says
You are legit in the TRENCHES! Don’t wear white, wear black right now 😉 .
Patrice Bennett says
Oh I Love that loom store!
Just about ready to place my next Colleen Rothschild order. Maybe I’ll cross my fingers and wait a week! 😄
Tiffany says
Ha! I just commented yesterday that my Friday favorite was my Colleen Rothschild shampoo and conditioner, and today I see you are doing the CR giveaway! Yay! Thanks, Shay! I hope to try some more of the products.
Lu Ann says
I can see why Nantucket is such a special place for your family! Your photos are always so beautiful!
Leslie S says
We’ve been to Nantucket several times but how have we never stopped at Nantucket Weavers? Adding that to my list right now for next summer!
Jeanne says
Goodness I am enjoying all of your summer content!
The best part of my week has been welcoming our 5th grandchild last Sunday morning. So very thankful 💕
Mix and Match Mama says
Congratulations! What a blessing for your sweet family!

Love your Nantucket posts! Makes me want to visit New England beaches again with my pups🥰
Laci says
How neat is that store!
Ann Walker says
As a Texan it’s fun to see you in sweatshirts in the summer! And my birthday is July 25th…just sayin’ LOL
Mix and Match Mama says
As a Texan, it’s fun to wear a sweatshirt in the summer 😉 .
Nancy Granger says
Who knew you could get a degree in weaving?
Kayla says
The white bike shorts look so cute. I love wearing bike shorts with side pockets too!

Nantucket is officially added to my Summer 2026 vacation list – what a beautiful place.

You have certainly inspired me to want to go to Nantucket ASAP! I’ll get there one day….LOVE the bathroom remodels!
