Temptation.
Let me count the ways.
Today we welcomed family to the island, and when we dropped them off at the Harbor View Hotel to check into their room, at the island’s great dame of resorts, we had to stop and walk the streets of Edgartown. Because who can resist the quaint streets, gorgeous shops and beautiful sights of Edgartown? Certainly not me.
It has temptation written all over it.
There’s the shopping… check out these purses that line the wall of this beautiful boutique. I LOVE the pink and brown print.
There’s the ice cream… and as Mad as Martha is, this ice cream is as cool as can be.
And, then, there is my favorite store: Island Company.
I love it for the island-y, breezy, and elegant resort clothing. But, it will always hold a special place in my heart for their signature tee shirt, which reads:
Quit Your Job
Buy A Ticket
Get A Tan
Fall In Love
Never Return
I first spotted this tee shirt during our first island tour a few years ago. It was so apropos that I bought it on the spot.
Quit Your Job – check! (well, technically I was laid off)
Buy A Ticket – check! (make that a ferry ticket)
Get A Tan – check! (well, as tan as I can get)
Fall In Love – check! (Justin and I moved to this tiny island after 15 years apart.)
Never Return – check! (Still here.)
I may not be buying tee shirts this year, or eating ice cream, or purchasing cute little purses… but I’m still that girl, wearing her tee shirt, one that’s good for her heart and her head.
Because once you’ve seen the other side.
You can never return.
