Well known as an East Coast summer resort for the gay community, Provincetown is incredibly charming. There are so many quaint cottages, art galleries, cute shops (lots of them home decor related), and fantastic restaurants. Not to mention all the fantastic people watching opportunities.
Check out what I brought home from an antique shop.
Someone had creatively turned these lion's head door knockers into bookends, but I'll be taking them apart and polishing them up to use on my front doors (because I'm such an expert in metal polishing).
These were only $30 for the pair!
That's my kind of souvenir.

i just love new england, as you know. :) and the bookend doorknockers are awesome!
Nice find! I like I need to add the NE to my vacation destination wish list!
Yeehaw! That is my kind of souvenir, too! Those are FAB! And now I'm adding another place to my places I've got to visit, like yesterday list (c:
What a pretty little town. Looks like the perfect place for a summer afternoon stroll.
Awesome! I was just reading the June issue of HB and absolutely loved Ken Fulk's cottage located in Ptown. That place must be full of super awesome cottages.
It looks GORGEOUS! Love the door knockers!
Awwww, you're making me homesick - my husband's first CG assignment was Provincetown, and we just did another 5 year tour further up the Cape (...and now are in the very not-New-England-y Los Angeles area!!) This was the first summer in a long while I didn't spend at least a day down in P-town :-( . . . but thank you so much for sharing your pics!!
This Coast Guard connection also prompts me to suggest you try the product Brasso on those knockers - it's both mildly caustic (good for oxide and crud) and mildly abrasive. Coasties use it to keep all the brass work and brass uniform items shiny!
Beautiful neighborhood! So much lovely things to see! Have a gorgeous weekend, Kellie xx
Awesome! So glad you made it to P-town, Carrie! Good times and a great find too. Happy Labor Day weekend:)
I've never been up there, but it's getting added to our must-visit list. Looks like a great town to spend a day in.
I've heard great things about P-town. Looks like a nice quick getaway for you guys.
Looks like a perfect town to visit :)
P-town for us in the "know" haha ;). Love it up there, it's gorgeous and the best people watching around...that's for sure!
