Happy to be in Mashpee

Hello, dear friends.  I am not participating in Hodgepodge this week because I am out of town attending a blogger luncheon hosted by one of my favorite bloggers at her gorgeous home.  I'll give you a hint who the blogger is ... she is the Queen of Blue and White.  Can you guess who it is?   Leave me a comment.

Last Sunday, the Mister and I spent a glorious day on the Cape in the picturesque town called Mashpee. 

Here is your geography lesson for the day.

Fun facts:

Rachel Ray grew up in Mashpee, and William Rosenberg, the founder of Dunkin Donuts lived there later in his life.

The Mister and I enjoy going to the Cape and Nantucket off-season.  Usually, there is a line that goes on for miles leading to the bridge.  That day it was smooth sailing.

Shift is one of my favorites and our first stop.

Quit drooling, Ladies.  

The eye candy out front is taken.

Shift has the cutest dresses.

I didn't try any on because I was retaining 20 lbs. of water that day.

I did try on some arm candy, though.

Next stop was Setting the Space, a home decor store.

  

They always have great looking pillows.

I thought this was one of the cutest ideas for a hostess gift.  

These bags hold all you need to grow your own veggies and herbs.

 The bags hold the soil and the seeds.  

All you need to do is plant them in the bag and remember to water them.

How sweet is this pillow?

I know my big guy would love to rub his wet, muddy paws all over it.

Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma also have stores in Mashpee Commons.  

There are also some fabulous gift shops, as well.  

We stopped for some sustenance because the Mister was showing the first signs of becoming hangry.

We always like to try a different place for lunch.  

Trevi had delicious food as well as great service.

Miss Daisy and I saved the best stop for last. 

My first commandment of shopping is:  never take the Mister into a cute shop with an empty tummy.

Miss Daisy felt like she was visiting her homeland.

If you love MacKenzie-Childs, The Lili Pad has your name written all over it.

The Lili Pad not only has a bountiful selection of Mackenzie-Childs, but it also has darling baby clothes.

All is well in the Mister's world.

What else does he need?

Tesla, frozen yogurt, a bag of fresh-baked cookies,

... and a hot trophy wife.

Until next time...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we were met with some cold shoulders and dirty looks.
