escape to the cape

tomorrow, we venture up to the cape.  sis and the rest of the crew arrives on friday.  it's gonna be happy little irish reunion with the family and we've all been looking forward to it for quite some time now.  it's going to be one of those weekends where you go away to relax and you end up needing serious daily naps to catch up afterwards.

anticipating this, be and i are headed to martha's vineyard for a few days to recharge the batteries after the weekend. 

the idea came to me while combing through my june issue of elle decor.  oh meg ryan's home on the vineyard is delicious.  we won't be staying at a dreamhome quite like hers but a much more quaint, hob-knobby b&b.  it's going to be our own version of fabulous.  in the meantime, welcome to her home.

i'm particularly taken to pher affection for blossoming branches and the color purple.
