After a long day in the studio yesterday, Ross and I slipped away for a little holiday magic at Gardens AGLOW @ the botanical gardens — and honestly, it was exactly what our hearts needed. Hot chocolate in hand, wandering past the glowing trolls, and wrapping up the night at Shannon’s Unshelled… Shannon's Unshelled pure Maine winter bliss. If you’re “from away,” trust me: their lobster rolls and chowder are the kind of cozy comfort that’ll warm you straight through a frigid December night. 🦞✨

Headed to Gardens AGLOW?
Do yourself a favor — pull over at Barters Island Bees 🐝 you’ll see the sweet little awning on the right before the rotary), then sail down the hill into Boothbay Harbor. ⚓️ Pop into Seawicks Candle Co., breathe in those scents that tug at your memories, wander the shops, support the locals, and let the season wrap around you a bit. 🕯️🌲

Have fun, soak it in, and let yourself make a little holiday peace. 🌊💙
