    Nestled in Nantucket

    Feb 28 2016 Leave a Comment

    Before the stars have left the skies,

    In the early morning fog I rise,

    To a frosty, fiery sleepy light,

    Nestled in the snowy bight,

    Glistening in windswept dunes,

    Winter is… such a glorious sight!

    Enjoy Nantucket in the Winter

    Feb 08 2016 Leave a Comment

    After today’s blizzard conditions and 65 MPH winds one might wonder what’s to love about Nantucket in the winter.  While the weather has been a bit chilly lately – Nantucket can be quite beautiful in the winter. The island is calm and quiet – a great place to escape to with that special person in your life for Valentine’s Day. Cozy up by a fire and then indulge in some delicious gourmet chocolates and sip on some bubbly. Sounds like a perfect Valentine’s day right? The since you probably have President’s day off – wake up early Monday morning – get a delicious pastry or two, some hot coffee before heading out to see how beautiful the island is in the winter. While many businesses close down for the winter months there are some restaurants that are open year round. Here are a few images we snapped while exploring the island last week.

    Nantucket Christmas Stroll

    Dec 14 2015 Leave a Comment

    It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Nantucket with hundreds of old-school Christmas lights illuminating seven-foot Christmas trees in the heart of Nantucket. A celebration of the lights and decorations of Christmas past are on full display. The 20-foot tree at the top of Main Street is decorated by a local artist or decorator and “magically” talks to all who visit it during Christmas Stroll Saturday.

    Every year Christmas Stroll is held the first full weekend of December. It is part of the month-long celebration known as Nantucket Noel, which is organized by the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce. Christmas Stroll weekend is an enchanting community holiday celebration that welcomes visitors from around the world.

    #Arby's Crew?

    #Arby’s Crew?

    Midday on Stroll Saturday, the Nantucket Town Crier, in full regalia, will ring in Christmas Stroll, and then lead everyone to the wharves where Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive on the island via a Coast Guard vessel. From there they ride up Main Street in a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by the Town Crier. Carolers in Victorian costumes, bell ringers, student choirs and other musicians perform on Main Street, which is closed to traffic for the day.

    Santa and Mrs. Claus Arrive

    During Christmas Stroll, a unique assortment of local crafters, island shops, and galleries open their doors for special hours, giveaways, and sales. Many merchants still offer holiday refreshments to shoppers. The Nantucket Whaling Museum is transformed into a glittering winter wonderland, with the month-long Festival of Trees showcasing more than 80 uniquely decorated Christmas trees. Local restaurant cook up some delightful holiday dishes and local inns and hotels welcome visitors with cozy quarters to relax and unwind.
