I love, love, love the opportunity to shop around OTO (so rare to find the time) and in this case I shopped for a few ideas for what to get Daddy this Father’s Day. I’ll keep it brief, I even took a few pictures. I promise to update with more ideas and ‘goings on’ as I find them. First up is this fabulous vintage Bocce Ball set I found at Summerhill…

I was shopping around on Friday looking for some good ideas for Father’s Day gifts when I stumbled upon the most AMAZINGLY gorgeous wine storage racks I’ve ever seen.

Sharing a meal at the Abbey is, honest-to-goodness, like going over to your mom’s house for Sunday dinner, which is what we typically do on our Sunday’s. Today, we sat on the porch with our party of 6 and right next to us was a casual party who’d brought along their beautiful Golden Retriever…it’s that kind of place…bring your kids, bring your dogs, dress up or come casual, the Abbey will welcome you in and follow through with good comforting food.

I thought it would be a great idea to give everybody some tips on where they can buy a great gift for Mom before Sunday. Many of our shops are having specials or gift with purchase.
