New England Style Details
This
little spot of warm weather has me pining for Summer in a big way. Last Summer, Pieti and I
took a jaunt up to Maine to visit my aunt.
Aside from all the beachy goodness, I found myself obsessing a bit over the architecture. Lots of shingles, clapboarding, and worn saturation that comes from prolonged exposure to the elements. Let’s
take a look…

Perkins Cove |
Even the storefronts were inspiring - especially in Kennebunkport. And I discovered one of the coolest shops around.

Daytrip Society in Kennebunkport - so cool! |
That store in the LH part of the picture with the striped awning is the Daytrip Society. I stumbled in there and what a treasure trove of cool and considered things. They have a great kids store too just around the corner. Lucky for you they have a website so you can experience a bit of what I am talking about.

Nott House in the village of Kennebunkport - complete with old ladies gardening! |
Now, the houses from the village of Kennebunkport. My traditional loving heart died and went to heaven.

red on a garage door. yes! paired with taupey gray clapboards and inky blue shutters. |

white picket fence and garden flowers, you slay me |
To those Kennebunkport residents who looked askance at a crazy person snapping pictures of your homes, I say 'sorry.' Not to worry, I am not casing the joint. I was merely walking some more tree-lined streets and
dreaming away again.
All pictures taken by me.
kisses, mrs. V

Great pictures! We have vacationed on Cape Cod for a couple years and visited my sister who lived in Massachusetts. The architecture is very similar to those in your pictures and I just love it!
