Video summary

This week on Nantucket was defined by a blend of relaxation, creative work, and preparing for the arrival of friends, marking what the creator considers the best week of the year. The vlog begins with the host wrapping up her solo stay in a charming guest house, which she highly recommends as an affordable alternative to typical hotels or standalone homes on the island. She emphasizes that while Nantucket is inherently expensive, this specific Airbnb offered incredible value and a warm, friend-like host experience. The week kicked off with a successful pop-up event for her Stitch tour at Erica Wilson, followed by a move to a new, stunning Airbnb selected by her friend Harrison, featuring a delightful basement area with a plant wall that perfectly matched her aesthetic. As the friends arrived, including Macy and Alexa on Monday, the group settled into their new home and immediately embraced local activities like visiting the farmers market and heading to the beach. The host shared details about her personal projects, showcasing various needlepoint pieces she has been working on, including a "Dolly of the Month" door hanger and designs for future ornaments that celebrate Nantucket's basket culture. Despite the busy schedule and the island becoming more crowded due to adaptations of Elin Hilderbrand's books into TV shows, the group managed to enjoy their favorite local spots, such as Born & Bread, though they faced long lines and occasional closures on Sundays and Mondays. The social aspect was highlighted by matching outfits that drew mixed reactions from locals, ranging from compliments to humorous insults about escaping jail, adding a layer of fun chaos to their beach days. The culinary highlights of the week included enjoying excellent iced lattes and chai at local cafes, dining at "Where the Whale" for a reservation-worthy meal, and Harrison hosting a beautiful dinner party featuring lobster cobb salad prepared with greens from Bartlett Farms. The group also indulged in gift-giving, with Macy receiving a cookbook store find that was perfect for future dinner parties, and the host finishing her read of *The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo*. Entertainment-wise, the friends spent time watching true crime documentaries like *Send Her to Mother* and discussing plot twists, while the host also shared her excitement about upcoming content plans. The week concluded with cozy evenings at home, unwinding after beach trips, and preparing for future adventures, capturing the essence of a perfect summer getaway filled with friendship, creativity, and island charm.

Hi everyone. Welcome back to another Nantucket vlog. We've actually been here basically for the week and then today my friends start to come in. We're switching Airbnbs um and we actually have our Stitch tour pop-up this morning. So this past week Charlie and I really just been like relaxing / working / like prepping for the pop-up, doing all that stuff, and just trying to get as much done as we could work wise so that this week we could take off more. So we are actually we're checking out of this Airbnb and then we're going to move to the one with our friends. Harrison, Caroline, and Presley are getting here today around 3:30. And then Macy and Alexa are coming on Monday which I'm really excited for. Also I'm just like dying to be in like hey guys and gosh just doing all that. Anyway, um this morning is the Stitch tour pop-up at Erica Wilson on Nantucket obviously which is like so exciting. Nantucket is my favorite place in the entire world. I just love it here. The whole no influencers thing is unfortunate. Anyway, so like my camera you won't see. My phone if I get any clips out it'll be incognito. You'll have to literally no idea. Also by the way I get a lot of questions on how to do Nantucket on a budget. Here's the thing about Nantucket it is so expensive. Like it really is just so expensive so I'm never going to sit here and tell you that like these things are on a budget just because like they're expensive. They're not. But I will say the Airbnb that we just stayed in it's a guest house at this woman's house which is like kind of the experience I wanted anyway. I have been in Nantucket this is like my sixth or seventh time here and I've never stayed in like a guest house it's always been either hotels or like stand-alone houses and I really wanted to one I've never just come with like one person so I was like this is my time to like stay. I wanted to like stay at like a local's property. You know what I mean? Anyway, we stayed here at Jill's house. And guys, unbelievable. She's the best. And it's a really good price. So, if you're looking for in Nantucket, I want to preface this by for Nantucket, it's not that this is like um nothing is like super cheap here here like at all. But, for Nantucket pricing, really amazing place. And the host is so incredible. And she's more like a friend than a host. And like she's just the best. So, if you guys are interested, I will link that Airbnb listing for you guys below. But, anyway, we're about to head off to Born and Bread to get my favorite iced latte, and then to Erica Wilson for the pop-up. And then after that, we're going to check in to the new Airbnb. But anyways, here's what I'm wearing. This um skirt that I got in Charleston at Hill House. You guys might have seen that vlog. And then it matches my headband, which is really cute. Erica Wilson's actually like right next door to um I was going to say to Nantucket, to Hill House. I'm also I'm not wearing this to Born and Bread, but I will be wearing this to the pop-up. Like that has to happen. Also, I got this bag. It's a Chanel bag on resale for like the best price I've ever paid for any sort of like nice bag like that. I don't even know the name. I can figure it out, but it fits so much. I have my needlepoint book, everything in here. This is the best purchase. I got it when I was looking for bridal bags in the Hamptons more recently. And I'm like, wait, honestly, when I got it in, I'm like, I will actually wear this like more than any other bag. And I brought so many bags this trip, and all I've been wearing is this. And then really my Margo shoes, which These are not Margo shoes. I'll show you guys those later. But, anyway, I haven't vlogged in a week, so like suddenly this is a 4-minute clip. But, I hope you guys enjoy the Nantucket vlog. It's going to be so good. >> First margarita of the season. Celebrate a successful stop. Beautiful. The event went so well. Thank you guys, anyone who came. My friends have now arrived. We've checked into our new Airbnb. Harrison picked it out, and guys, it is so nice. It's actually insane. Like, I'll show you this little basement area that we have currently. Literally the cutest thing ever. Y'all know how I feel about a plant wall. I mean, hello. Hello, everyone. This is just beautiful. Harrison, this is some of your best work. I will say. Oh my gosh. I love how they designed the place. Oh, I'm not sure. Mahjong will be here soon. >> We're We're wasting no time. >> We're wasting no time. Oh, thank you. >> Cheers. >> Cheers, too. >> When you guys got here, it felt like Christmas morning. I don't know. >> It did feel like Christmas morning. >> It did. >> Harrison, that is so lovely. Thank you so much. Okay. I haven't had my coffee all week, but we got some last night at the coffee shop. Best day ever. >> Wait, Tara. >> Thanks. >> Build it. >> Okay. Morning, guys. Let me see if I can get up a little bit taller. Um we are devastated, absolutely devastated, because I'm going to get over to this trolley. Boarding Bread is closed on Sundays and Mondays. >> Wait, what? >> Exactly. Exactly. >> That sucks. >> Yeah, thank god I got my coffee last night. Obviously, as you guys I'm sure have seen on social media, or maybe you haven't. If you haven't seen the whole influencer debacle thing, I will say, like I think it's just people who are being not like thoughtful about other people and just like having their phones out taking photos and videos and stuff. All the time I think it's like necessarily influencers. I think it's like just people with like phones in the streets or whatever. Also, with that being said, there's been two major TV shows that have been made from Elin Hilderbrand's books, who was our book club author in the past couple of years. So, like obviously, the island right now is busier. Anyway, all I have to say, Boarding Bread is like so busy now. Like the line's insane. And we used to go to Boarding Bread because there wasn't a line there, and that's why I discovered that that's the best iced chai in the world, cuz I got it randomly and like there was no line. And now there's a line, and this has been this way for a bit now. There's a line for like so long. So, anyways, we were going to like get up and just like wait in it again, like we've been doing every morning. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Guess what? Today's Sunday. My poor friends who have just gotten here. At least I've had it all week, you know? But thank god I got my coffee. So, here we are. It's fabulous. Really fab. I can show you guys the needlepoint products that been working on. I'm waiting for my friends to wake up. Also, I brought mahjong for us all and I think I forgot the racks. Like I'm devastated. The new Nantucket mahjong map though, as I'm sure you saw yesterday at the um Erica Wilson pop-up, like oh my god, she's everything. Okay, so let me show you guys what I have been stitching. So, oh yeah, first up, here's my August dolly of the month. How cute. Sorry if I'm whispering this is super annoying, but I'm going to make this a little door hanger I think for like birthdays, whenever it's someone's birthday it'll come out. Kind of how I wanted to do for the like birthday cake, but now I just love that one and that it stays out year-round as a celebration cake, so love that. I stitched this. I'm not done. I obviously have another background. I'm not done. Also, like the detailing on this isn't so amazing on my end as a stitcher, but I stitched it outside and it was really bright, so I couldn't really see well, which is why it's not amazing, but I still really like it. I'm kind of thinking about making it an acrylic stand um or I'll just do an ornament. We'll see. I've never done a stand before and I feel like this could be cute in our living room. I'm also stitching the Nantucket collection as a manifestation for our future Nantucket home. Also, doing this and then I just need to get an oval to trace for the background and then I'm going to do a little sand background and it's going to be a an ornament, but like it's really really really cute. Another part of our Nantucket collection. Um okay, I ran out of my very velvet, so I'm not done with this one yet and I will when I get home. This one's going to be an ornament. It's our Nantucket dolly 13 mesh and then I did a little basket background as a little nod to like the Nantucket baskets cuz I thought it was really sweet, but I still need to get that velvet back and they haven't had it at either of the Erica Wilsons, so I need to get that when I'm home. Oh, I haven't started on this. I have a bunch of other projects that I just brought with me and then last night I finally started on my big Nantucket scene, which I love and I just did some of the pink detailing around. Loving that. I've been on like crazy true crime kick this week. We've watched like four documentaries. Like we just get home and like watch the documentaries. It's like one hour we'll do it. It's like I haven't been doing it. We watched Send Her to Mother. What else have we watched? Um oh, I like Cherry, Merry and Murderer something like that. I just finished that one yesterday. Send Her to Mother that one um Amy Bradley, The Disappearance of Amy Bradley. I just started the new Idaho Murders one. I'm just like really on a kick. It's not even all true crime, but I'm just really on like a documentary kick and I'm like, "Oh my god, this world is like crazy." The Amy Bradley thing, oh my god, if you guys have watched any of those, please let me know your theories. That was she's definitely alive. Like it's actually like horrific. I can't even like get into it, but anyway, I need to drink my coffee, wait for my friends to wake up. We had the best dinner at Where the Whale Last Night. Um it's a really good one if you're looking to get into a restaurant like and you need reservations and you can't get a reservation anywhere else. Um not because like you would only go there to get a reservation I'm just trying to say like you can't get reservations there typically. Um and it's really really good.
