Recently, Mr.FixIt and I made a mad-dash getaway to Cape Cod.

| The Bourne Bridge |
 |
| Nobska Point Lighthouse, Woods Hole, MA |
It was only for a few days but it was just us. The weather was beautiful and the water, though still cool, was a refreshing respite from the above average temperatures.
 |
| See the heart stone? I have a collection. |
What could be more perfect? I had my husband (who happens to be my best friend), beautiful weather, a lovely place to stay and... the beach! Perfect!
Well, imagine my surprise when I realized that while we were there a vintage market would be happening. (Insert squeals of delight!) (Also, insert Mister rolling his eyes.)
Buoys and Burlap holds a monthly market during the summer months, I believe, in this gorgeous old church. The market is similar to the Vintage Thymes Market I wrote about in my last post. I grabbed my camera and credit card and off we went. I met some sweet, talented ladies. Come on, I'll show you!
These three photos were courtesy of Erika at Beach Cottage Living. Again, sweet lady and so nice to let me photograph even though I had forgotten my cards in my other pocketbook! Yup, I did. Anyway, you can find her on Facebook
here or follow her on Instagram: BeachCottageLivingCC.
You've seen
MapSacks before if you follow my blog. I love her stuff! There are such cute things to find here. They make great gifts and fun conversation pieces. I have purchased from her before for myself and for gifts....such a clever use of paper that would have ended in a land fill. I really should introduce myself and get her name!
Pretty things caught my eye at
Soo Soo's Vintage.

| I love old chippy paint! |
 |
| Shells for handles, smart! |
Then, on the way out there was
Modern Vintage Design Studio. They are on Facebook, too. I had never seen anything from them before and wow, I had a big ole' case of the I-wants at just about everything in their space. Good thing Mister was with me, right? Take a look!
 |
| Inside I was screamin' "Me, me, me....I want to be a mermaid!". |
I came home with a few treasures, too! Thank you Beach Cottage Living and Mister! We have been looking for one for a long time and it fits in beautifully.
We spent another day on the Cape walking around Chatham, taking some pictures.
 |
| Ooh, do I have the guts to paint my stairs and floor that color? |
 |
| An art display in the park of different sharks painted by different artists and groups. |
 |
| Couldn't ya just imagine an afternoon with some sweet tea and a fan watching the folks walk by. |
It was not officially summer yet but everything about those few days put me firmly into the grasp of summer's siren calls. We spent the rest of our time wading into the ocean as we walked the beaches. We enjoyed sitting by the sea, reading and enjoying the beauty God has made.
 |
| Isn't that the cutest idea! |
 |
| Totally girlie shop so Mister waited outside. It was this piece of furniture that I went in to see! Falmouth, MA |
 |
| So, this was in Lilly Pulitzer's shop. I can only look when I go in there! |
Here it is the first day of summer. Buoys and Burlap has another market coming up soon. If you find yourself out that way I am sure they would love a visit from you. I am going to pack my beach bag... I feel the ocean calling me!
