Nostalgic of Nantucket

I had a wonderful September full of travel and visits from people I love.  Mom and I ventured to Nantucket for the first time, and we got swept away in the wonderful world of whaling and coastal scenery.  Upon one of our many little shopping excursions, I came upon a sweet store that sold the best Italian leather handbags (another post about that) and also the coolest seersucker striped towels by 8knots-ShelterIsland.com all tied up in a bin like so...

Seersucker Stripe Towel
What really caught my eye was the presentation (I do love a good jute ribbon) and the stripes- my house is a variety of all of these colors...dove grey, brown, orange, lime green...so when I saw one opened up, I fell in love.  They are so soft and light- yet, I wanted to use it as a throw, rather than a towel...come to find out they can be used for so many purposes!  Towel, blanket, throw, pareo- incredibly absorbent and fast drying, I know this will be a staple in my home year round.  (I picked the one pictured above!)

And each one comes with this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson stitched on the edge: "live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air's salubrity."

Right on, RWE, Right on.
