My whole life, my family has spent Augusts in a little harbor town on the south shore of Massachusetts, just down the road from a lighthouse. This past weekend, the town celebrated its annual Heritage Days, but it was especially exciting this year because that lighthouse that I grew up with, built in 1811, celebrates its 200th birthday this year! I thought it was the perfect excuse to wear my new Sailboat Skirt, courtesy of an Anthropologie second-cuts sale 🙂
Heritage Days was also super special this year because, for the first time, we are actual residents of the town! Since I’ve been out of the house for a few years now and my little brother graduated high school in June and is on his way to college himself, my parents finally made the move to their dream town (and my mom’s Barbie Dream House… more features on that later). Heritage Weekend is filled with lots of music, food, and sidewalk sales, but my favorite part is Luminaria. To kick off the weekend, every resident along the harbor lines their property with luminaries on the Friday night.
It’s just as beautiful to me today as it has been for the last twenty some years of coming here, and I’m so glad we finally get to call this home.
