Have you ever taken the scenic route and ended up finding your new favorite place?  I always thought of Plymouth as the waterfront, historic landmarks, and downtown shops, but this little adventure reminded me there’s so much more to explore just beyond the places everyone knows.  Old Sandwich Road feels like stepping into another era, with local businesses, beautiful coastal landscapes, and hidden gems that have been part of the community for generations. It’s exactly the kind of New England adventure I love sharing.  📍Rye Tavern – farm-to-table dining in a historic tavern setting
📍Bramhall’s Country Store – local produce, lobster rolls, ice cream, flowers, and classic summer charm
📍Ellisville Harbor State Park – one of my favorite dog-friendly coastal walks in Plymouth  I actually discovered this route after watching an episode of @Chronicle5 WCVB’s insider’s guide to New England, which features trusted recommendations for food, travel, and things to do throughout the region. Every episode has a different theme, making it such a fun way to find your next local adventure.  📲 Download the Very Local app to watch Chronicle from anywhere!  #plymouth #plymouthma #ad #ChroniclePartner

A dream balcony with @jordansfurniture that I will certainly be enjoying through the seasons 🍂🌸☀️❄️ | AD  We absolutely love our new Bainbridge Outdoor set from Jordan’s Furniture, featuring classic coastal wicker, comfortable cushions, and a cozy firepit.  A few reasons why we love Jordan’s:  • The Quality - Jordan’s furniture is built and tested to hold up, so I never have to second-guess a piece once it’s in my space  • Made for New England Weather - Between the wind, salty air & unpredictable seasons in a coastak town, I needed pieces that could handle it, and the all-weather fabrics and durable frames do exactly that.  • White Glove Service - They set everything up exactly where I wanted it, no heavy lifting or assembly stress on my end.  • In-Stock Styles - Most of their outdoor pieces are in-stock, so I could actually enjoy the balcony this summer instead of waiting weeks for a refresh.  #JordansFurniture #SouthShoreMA #CoastalLiving  My actual dream. Loving The Bainbridge Fire Pit.  As soon as I saw the Bainbridge Club Chair, I knew I needed to create a little reading nook next to the plants.  The fact that this will be on well into New England winter nights has me giddy.  Thank you, Jordan’s Furniture🫶🏻 Here’s to more cozy nights at home!

Balcony plants from @beacongardens 👩🏼‍🌾🪏🪴  You know that space you dream of having in a home? This is mine. A cozy haven that allows me to relax, be creative, get work done, read, and enjoy an iced coffee outdoors all from the luxury of home.  I have already spent the majority of my time out here and I’m curious as to how cold it will have to get this winter for me to stay inside. I’ll report back in a few months.  🌺Flowers featured: Dipladenia, Salvia, Lantana, Calibrachoa, Gomphrena, Hibiscus  📍Beacon Gardens 
182 Osterville-West Barnstable Rd, Osterville MA  #capecod #capecodlife #southshorema #coastalliving

Welcome to Colebrook, New Hampshire, a historic small town in the Great North Woods. @visitnh | AD  This place is such a New England gem and was one of our favorite stops on the trip.  Here’s what to do:
☕ Mostly Muffins - Muffins & coffee
🍩 Tori’s Place - Donuts & coffee
🛍️ Fiddleheads - Artisan Shop
🍺 The Black Bear Tavern - Restaurant & dog-friendly patio
💦 Beaver Brook Falls Wayside - An 80-foot waterfall right off the road! One of the prettiest roadside stops in the Great North Woods.  Save this for your adventures in NH & send to someone you want to go with!  #LiveFree #VisitNH #DogDaysOfSummer #GreatNorthWoods
