Happy August, everyone!
Man, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finish
showing you my Martha's Vineyard photographs--
I should be ashamed of myself!
...Well, better late than never, I say :p
I've also included in this post a few photographs
I took while I was in Keene a couple of weeks ago;
Hope you enjoy those as well!
As for other matters, I hope everyone has been having
As for other matters, I hope everyone has been having
a wonderful summer. I know I haven't been around much,
and to be quite honest, it hasn't been the best of summers for
me personally... But, I am looking forward to starting graduate
school in the fall, and... for the Halloween season to finally spark up!
(... Okay, I may be rushing things a bit with the Halloween-part, hehe).
Oh, and I'm also planning again on going to the Keene Pumpkin Festival
this October! As many of you know, I was going to attend last year,
this October! As many of you know, I was going to attend last year,
but due to the untimely passing of my cat, I naturally had to cancel.
But this year, I am determined on giving it another go...
So I'll keep you all posted with my plans for that!
Okay, enough of my babbling now...
At last, I present to you the final batch of
my Martha's Vineyard photographs!

At one point in the day, my mom (being a major history buff
with a fascination in church history) sparked up a conversation with an
island native on the road, who ended up showing us an extremely old
(and very well hidden!) Native American meeting house. We arrived
to the location by means of a winding dirt road, and truly felt as if we
stepped back into time when we stumbled upon this forgotten site!

These photographs have been so wonderful. I felt as though I was there with you. Thank you so much for taking and sharing the photos. I enjoyed them so much. Blessings, Dee
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photographs, makes me want to one day visit Martha's Vineyard. Thanks Erin, you do a wonderful job showing such stunning parts of the USA. Warm regards, Ann ~ Australia.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. Especially the memories of Keen NH. My sister went to college there and I was about 10 years younger than her. So as I was growing in my formative years we would make the trip to Keene quite regularly as a family to pick her up or to visit and go to her recitals. We made many stops for picnics and such on the way and traveled through town. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I enjoy your posts.I am already thinking fall and winter with my crafting on my blog, time goes fast when you are having fun. Blessings ~Sara

ReplyDeleteHi Erin, your photos are great and it looks like you had a wonderful time. Sorry to hear things haven't been going to well. My nice goes to Keene State, she's studying to be a teacher! The pumpkin festival is awesome!
ReplyDeleteErin, another great post with the most charming photos. I love taking your NE trips with you and your Mom. So many things I loved about Part 3 of your photo essay...blueberry pancakes, quaint streets, homes and shops..more great food, you looked very pretty in your navy blue dress, and shots of harbors and boats. We did it all! Thanks a bunch, I'm pooped, how about you??? LOL!!! Hugs to you, and wonderful things are just around the corner for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely pictures! I have gotten my New England fix just looking at your pictures. I think the next trip we have will need to be New England. I so envy you going to the Pumpkin festival! I have seen pictures of that event. Oh , many of us are waiting anxiously for Halloween!! My favorite holiday!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to find another New England blogger. I went to Martha's Vineyard a few years ago for a Lacrosse game and it left a big impression. I'm hoping to get back sometime soon. I'm only in High School so I have plenty of time to get back. Your pictures are stunning.
ReplyDeletePlease stop by for a visit, I'm a new blogger and would love any hints on how to showcase New England as nice as you have.

Erin, this was a wonderful whirlwind tour through some of my favorite places! LOVED the little barn on MV. It is picturesque. I could imagine having my studio in there.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Keene and need to go back again. It is just so hard to leave our little island. I love it here.
Sending a hug across the miles,

P.S. Did you visit the grave of the Chicken Lady on MV??
Oh how I love seeing photos of New England, Erin! Thank you so much for sharing them with us! It was fun! I would love to return to the east coast some summer and experience the beauty there again.... :)

It is visible on the photos that you enjoyed the time very much! Some of the food looks really delicious and I like the view over the port
ReplyDeleteHi Erin,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful--it's like a mini-vacation just scrolling through them. I'm sure you had a fantastic time. Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your blog. I found it recently and am happy to have a site to visit when I want to dream of living in New England (which is pretty often).
Erin,
ReplyDeleteI hope that the new season brings better things for you. I haven't visited your blog (or any blog) in ages, and how fun for me to see Keene, NH, and the Vineyard. Thank you for sharing your photos and New England adventures.
I have just discovered you blog and am already in love. I actually just moved to Indiana from Keene, NH last summer. I absolutely loved it there.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The picture of Parish Shoes is the same sign still there from when the movie Jumanji was filmed there. Im not sure if you have heard of the movie, but most of it was filmed in the downtown of humble old Keene.
