Yesterday, Jeff and I went to the HarvestFest in Rockport, a charming town on the ocean that used to be known as an artist colony. There’s still some art galleries in Rockport but there are now more cute boutiques and restaurants. Every October, they have a festival with music, cooking demonstrations, Farmer’s Market, and food from the local shops and restaurants. This year, they were also celebrating Rockport’s 175th birthday. Unfortunately, it was cold and windy out so we didn’t linger outdoors as long as we usually do. But it was fun anyway.
Here are a couple of pix of lantana (the ombre flowers) and the Rockport harbor featuring Motif #1, the red fishing shack that used to be known as “The Most Painted Building in America”.
And here’s a cute storefront that’s already closed for the winter along Bearskin Neck where the shops and boutiques are.
Next up are the blogposts from Beauty Blog Coalition. Today, there are lots of fun and informative posts to read: Fall beauty e-book, Halloween makeup tutorial, nail polish inspiration, skincare and makeup reviews, haircare reviews, how to fix a broken nail, and my new red wood watch and how to style it for fall. Take a look! And have a great week 😛

I love the “No Lifeguard on Duty – Save Yourself!” storefront hahaha. Great photos and article as always!
Thank you, Sybille, and thanks for taking the time to comment! It was coooold at HarvestFest yesterday, but I’m glad we went anyway to keep up the tradition! Glad you had a good day doing your “errands”. Best of luck with your new addition!!
What a wonderful way to spend the day with your hubby. Even though it was chilly it sure looked beautiful.
When the sun was out, Laura, the quality of the light was absolutely beautiful! Rockport is an exceptionally beautiful town at all seasons. Definitely windy at the water, but worth it. We were lucky we were able to go. Hope you are feeling better today 🙂
