Boothbay Harbor, Maine


This past week, I spent 4 glorious days on the Maine coast with my dear Maman. 
Boothbay Harbor is where I spent many a summer day with my family....a most special haven for my beloved father.





This enchanting stone chapel was built in 1917 in memory of a woman who lived at Ocean Point.

We stopped to say a prayer for my father.... 


....to remember him....

....and the precious time we had with him.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No excursion would be complete without picking up a few new "threads"....


...this blouse is just so sweet...



...look at the lace detail....



...and I just loved the name on the tag...



And this one was too lovely to leave behind....
...more delicate lace detailing....



I also picked up a hat for those hot summer days.....


...and a scarf for those cool summer nights.




I brought this gorgeous necklace with me...

...made by one very talented friend.

(I'll "introduce" you to her once I help her get her ETSY shop up and running!)

And here are a few bijoux that I just couldn't leave in Maine...


Last, but not least, let me introduce you to....
...."Ma Petite Maman" (isn't she sweet?).

See you on White Wednesday where I'll share all of my seaside "finds."

  3. Ahh... since I am a New England girl, born and raised, it was so fun seeing it through your eyes! I love the lace tops you bought. So sweet and so you! And the "Blessed" charm was a favorite of mine. So nice to meet your maman and I can see by the expression on your faces that you both had such a lovely time!

  9. Michelle, your photos are wonderful ~ what a sweet photo of you with your mom. A visit to Maine is one of my life goals. Made it as far as Vermont once, but no time to go any further that trip. In my mind, there is something very special about Maine ~ I want to be there and experience that feeling.
    The little chapel is SO sweet.

  15. I'm catching up on all your recent posts, and WOW! You've been busy, girl! I see where you get your vivacious smile - your Maman is lovely! SO happy that you enjoyed your time in Boothbay with her. You really brought home some spectacular finds from your treasure hunting in Maine - I loved seeing it all in these posts. And your new IH's are AMAZING!!!! I'm not surprised at all that so many are sold already. :)
