The house's are just beautiful along with the sounds of the ocean, Enjoyed the tour.
I love our mix of New England shingle style homes, I've always liked the hobbled together asymmetry of the style as 1600's to 1900's home were added and tweaked and always with a patina of sea air and fading cedar shakes.
What a perfect Sunday outing on Cape Cod! Loved the floral and fog horn beginning and ALL the rest all the way to the lovely chicks. Thank you so much Donna! Best wishes, Patricia
Love hearing the sound of the birds and the Ocean!💙
I'm happy you enjoyed it and they were especially joyful this time, when I listen back I think, gosh there really were a lot of them out singing :) @Joan Holland and of course we're never very far from seagulls, even when out shopping especially when the shop is an old clam shack near the shore.
I look forward to your weekly blogs very much. Loved the outing to the antique shop(the yellow ware bowl with pouring spout was a great find). Glad you rescued it! The cow is a quirky thing and I love quirky. Your creativity for everything is amazing! The chicks make me think of Una
Donna what a beautiful and fun way to spend a very rainy and gloomy Sunday morning. Love your treasures especially the bowl. Enjoyed Buzzard Bay antiques. Just a perfect video to have with my coffee.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it @Susan Demarest I really love that bowl. It is going to look wonderful planted for the Spring/Summer/Autumn then it can live in my plant room with some cute ferns.
Such a fun outing! Thank you, Donna, for taking us along! I'm sure I could spend hours in that shop. I love the Mocha seaweed bowl that you bought.
Loved everything ❤ Donna and I always love seeing the car rides
XXX Thankyou Donna XXX ❤
👍👍🤭🌹 lovely vlog. Thanks for thrifting and the streetscapes we're wonderful. And the chicks were precious 🤭🤭🤭🤗...e
So happy you enjoyed our little outing @evelyn byrd :)
O I love a good thrift store outing!!!
Me too!!
Hi Donna! Thank you for another great antiques shopping trip. LOVE the bowl, you got a great deal on it even due to the condition. It definitely needed to come home with you that day :) Some of my things are cracked but no worries, it gives them character! The chicks are growing quickly!
Really interesting vlog Donna. Loved the bits at the antique store. Your chicks are adorable 😊😊😊
Hello Donna. What a beautiful pot full of flowers that brings joy to the eye and colour to the garden. How the view is smothered with the fog like a blanket that covers the bed. What a stunningly beautiful drive along the coast with the old colonial houses so picturesque. I love the archways with gates thar open up another entrance to the garden giving it separate boundaries. There is many inspirational ideas to collect in your mind for new projects , especially the lamp when you go beach combing. How exciting to start a new vegetable garden project. Well the Easter chicks have arrived just in time, so cute and adorable. Thankyou so much for sharing another wonderful vlog 😊😊😘
Thanks Donna! Loved the Clam Shack Antiques!
The fog horn is so evocative especially at start of the vlog and thus a good day to go antiquing. Loved the green arbour and bench and also the deep arches . A very quirky place with lots of interesting items.. What a creative day you had .
Love your bowl and cow! Very cute with the chicks!!
Thanks for such a great way to ease into a Sunday!
Thank you for the video. I found it comforting to watch and enjoyed it. I would love to see a tour of your garden in the near future. Thanks again for sharing these experiences with us.
@s martinez I hope to do little garden tours this year as I'm really trying to make over bits, so I might try some before/after. We have 3 acres which is a lot for one person with occasional help from hubby, so a lot of it is "wild" but I think it'll be fun to share the wild to the well, less wild probably haha. Thanks for watching.
That quirky antique shop had interesting items. I enjoyed the scenery, the music 🎶the flowers 💐 and chickadees 🐥.
I'm glad you enjoyed it @Angela Pa and I love that little place. Funny and helpful thing is when I edit I see all the stuff I missed there, so I can jot down, Oh go back for that or see how much this is , haha. I hope you're having a lovely Sunday.
Thank you for taking us out with you. I’m looking forward to exploring in your area this spring, my favorite time, before the hoards of people. I lovvve that bowl. So glad you were able to pick it up. And the twigs for horns….great idea!
Thanks for taking us with you ! I love your trips out and I would chosen the same treasures as you did!❤️
Thanks for sharing! Loved it all! 💖🧜♀️🐳🌊
I'm so happy you enjoyed it @Susan Anderson
Fascinating shop full of all sorts Donna 😊 love the cute little cow, I thought you’d buy that! ☺️ Thank you for another happy video ❤️
I always enjoy your antique outings and love the informative asides you always pepper your videos with (eg that bridge). Sending best wishes from my coast to yours 🍁
I so enjoy your videos what a great antique store I've been picking up coffee pots and old containers and putting flowers in them like that too they do look so amazing in those antique pots I love the cow too
Thank you, I'm sure some think, "Why on earth would she buy that cow?" @Michel Keely haha but I can picture her in the garden or with flower arrangements in the Summer and in the Winter up on a shelf in my plant room with that bowl filled with plants and her little twig horns.
I'll probably give her "Holly Horns" for Christmas and put her out with Christmas deco.
Wonderful outing, beautiful shingled houses, spring flowers, and your adorable chicks who are growing so quickly. The cow with her twig horns reminds me of the Highland cattle on Pasque Island when they lie down on the beach or wade in the bay.Using the antique mold for a planter is a very clever idea.Wish I had thought of it:)! Very fun shop.
I've done that before as I have a few old tin kitchen things without lids or working that great but they were great aunt so and so , so you hate to toss them, thus to the garden they go :)
@@DonnaDavisArt Nice reminder of your great aunt whenever you are out in the garden.
Where have you gone to, Linda? I miss you and your wonderful inspiring, restful vlogs! I hope you and yours are well. So sorry to have missed Summer 2022 at Cape Cod with you. Blessing and prayers are sent you way. Patricia
When I was a teen my family and I travelled to the cape and really enjoyed the antique and little shops we could roam around in and find treasures. That was a cute shop you went in - fun treasures.
It's probably much more built up then you recall @Lisa Akinlabi I still can't get over how much has changed from late 90's to now, but there is still a lot of quaint and out of the way places to explore. I hope you can return one day.
Oh I was so excited to see this shopping trip. I love the bowl even cracked and worn. The Japanese have a phrase for appreciating worn/ Beijing things calling them wabi sabi. They even take molten gold/ metal and drip it down cracks to repair pottery. Thus displaying the beauty of the flawed. I’m so glad you didn’t look at this piece of pottery disparagingly. I wish I could be in gardening mode with you but at 73 I can no longer dig in the Earth. My back and balance are troublesome and deter me. I do care for a few hostas in pots and also a large planter of Dragon Wing Begonias. I recommend them to all as real show stoppers and are so vigorous. People would slow at look at mine at the end of my driveway. Hope soon you can take us to your thrift shop where you once bought a beautiful scarf. I love the idea of thornless roses on the metal bench/ gate. Look forward to another shopping video.
Oh I love that, well I have definitely the Wabi Sabi appreciation as it seems cracked, lichen covered or marred always attracts my eye.
Well, gardening indoors is also wonderful, maybe you should make little miniature gardens, to easily 'dig in' on the table top, little bonsai trees, tiny little coleus, there are so many wonderful 'fairy garden' plants made small for that purpose. Have fun! @Dolly Dog
You love everything😂❤
I hear fog horns here near the Chesapeake Bay where I live on foggy days. Luv the sound. Thanks for taking us on a fun trip. When I visited cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard years ago, it was great to see the cranberry bogs and the men working them. I luv the items you selected. The sticks for the cow are great idea. Fun and the chicks are growing fast. Take care
I forgot to share footage of the men working the bogs this past Autumn. It's always such a magical thing to be out on a ramble or a drive and see the bright red floating on the water as the men in their waders are out with their rakes and machines corralling in all that beauty. I'll have to remember this Autumn @Cheryl The Pearl
@@DonnaDavisArt oh yes please. We did take photos on that trip but I agree it is magical and all the floating red berries. Thanks. Like watching the crab men and oysters being brought in here in Chesapeake Beach Maryland from the bay. Exciting.
Hi Donna. Loved the video of the clam shack at Buzzard’s Bay. I have been there. I have a few things here in my home that I bought from that store. Memories are great! We don’t know if Cape Cod is in plans for this September holiday. I would love to come to Phillips Road and Sacamore area again. Regards, Marla.
I hope you can make it and September is a lovely time to be on Cape @Maria Giek
I remember You taking us there before...love the Archways , seating and Urns .and the first Mermaid too . My Mother was an antique dealer so we would have some incredible things in the house for awhile ...She brought home a Divers helmet , have wanted one ever since especially as we are in to Steampunk so I almost fell off my big Rubber ball when I saw that one!
Lol I hope you are okay after falling off your 'big rubber ball' @Grizelda XXX I love that diver's helmet.
@@DonnaDavisArt I managed to grab on to the desk hahahaha (I use one of those exercise balls as my office chair heehee x
Some Amish are becoming more modernized as the availability of land is diminishing. In our area we have both modernized, originialists and in between.
Where are you dear lady ? I miss your videos being made regularly 😢
