Summer Fun Series: Alison from Green with Renvy

Hello, I’m Alison and I blog over at Green With Renvy, a lifestyle spot about all things eco-friendly. In the summer, I am one lucky camper who gets to spend much of her time on The Grey Lady, better known as Nantucket.



For me, that spells the most special part of the season. I’d like to share some of those faves with you here at The Mustard Ceiling. Thanks Elizabeth for having me.





Thirty miles out to sea lies the Faraway Isle. Much has remained unchanged since its discovery in 1602, and therein lies its charm.





Whether you arrive by air or sea, I love the feeling of all your cares melting away as you step foot on the island and take in the salt air.





Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are here. 50 miles of coastline in fact. I love going to the beach in any kind of weather- especially in the fog that greets us in July, when hot steamy days meet the still cool ocean.





With over 35 miles of bike paths, I love the fact that you can leave your car behind. Two wheels can take you from point A to point B and even the public transportation is equipped with bike racks!





Beachcombing is one of my all time favorite activities. I love taking the time, with my kids, or for myself, to craft with the precious cargo we’ve found.





Local and Sustainable is one of my mantras. I love the fact that it’s part of the plan on Nantucket. Whether its buying fresh produce at Bartlett Farm, packing a fresh seafood picnic with local ales from Cisco Brewery for the beach or eating fresh fish with local micro greens at a restaurant, it all falls into that category.

and Sunsets…well what can I say…Yes I love them too!

I hope you’ve enjoyed visiting with me and my little slice of heaven.

Thank you for stopping by today Allison to share a little piece of Nantucket with us. I have never visited. It has always been on my list, it looks gorgeous.



Head on over to visit Alison at Green with Renvy!



Have a fabulous weekend!



I am still catching up from being away for 3 weeks.

Things should be back to normal around here starting Monday.
