I'm so happy my friend Anne and I took this girls' trip. I qualify this Anne as my friend because, well, IDK, but my Mom spelled her name Anne and Figgy's real name is Anne.
We spent about $125 each per night ($245 each, total), counting taxes and fees, for this Airbnb stay at the Rugosa Guest House in Eastham. I would highly recommend this place. In season, of course, the rates for this spacious suite would be higher. It includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a deep tub with water jets and a small deck with table and chairs.
In early October, I received a press email from Gayle Conran of ConranPR regarding the "Annual Monumental Yard Sale" in Provincetown this weekend. Anne loves yard sales. I knew she would literally drive to the end of the earth to get to this one, and I was right. Ptown is where the land meets the sea.Fun today:
- A morning shower with my Twilly d'Hermes Body Shower Cream.
- Coming across Sarah Kain Dresses on Commercial Street in Ptown! The designer upcycles fabrics...I bought a beautiful scarf (red velvet one side, mauve fabric the other, with fringe trim) and a dress she sewed from vintage denim.
- Good coffee.
- Pretty views.
- Nap.
- Walk along beach in Provincetown.
- Exploring the Jewelry Studio of Wellfleet. where two sisters polish their craft. Gorgeous silver and gold, sea glass, turquoise, miniature Wellfleet oyster charms. Browsing, just browsing.
- Checking out every T-shirt on God's green earth so Anne could get some for her husband and kids (and one for herself, which she loves, a Mac's Seafood one with a mask on the fish.) I didn't mind a bit. No rush, pure fun. Where Anne seeks out bargains and stylish tees, I seek out velvet scarves and vintage dresses.
- Chose cute gift for Figgy! at Utilities, a kitchen/home shop I will definitely revisit!!!!!!!!
- Steamed Chinese food for dinner. Lots of vegs.
- Continued chatfest with Anne.
- Lovely audio text from Punchy! Lovely calls and texts from Dan, Figgy, Sis. Even when we stray from home, it's nice to be grounded.
Good night. We head home tomorrow at noon. But Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary before that, and last stop at Hot Chocolate Sparrow!!!

This sounds like such a fun getaway! Glad you went!
ReplyDeleteHi Nan and young MTM. Thanks for the notes. It was a gift to get away. I'm grateful. Nan, re. The Rugosa--it looks rustic from the outside, but inside, when we arrived, a fire was burning in the historic old hearth. So that's good for fall/winter/maybe cold spring. Also, there is a shared kitchen we could have cooked in...nice. Sunday nite, we ate our Chinese takeout at the cozy dining room table. The rooms were cozy and very clean. No breakfast served due to Covid while we were there. Love, Alice
ReplyDeleteP.S. I mean the hearth in the common shared living room....
