You’re probably sick of all the Ptown posts, but hey, that’s where I am, so just go with it. Amazingly, I came across another new design shop, Yates and Kennedy, at 368 Commercial Street in the East End. The owner, Mitch Yates, also owns the edgy men’s clothing boutique MAP, and decided to branch out to the home thing this year. His taste is right on, with a mix of old and new pieces and groovy vintage wallpaper. Have a look at his wares:

Last night I picked up my friend Sharon Kitchens (she who writes Delicious Musings) at the ferry in Ptown. We wandered from the dock into the West End. On our journey we stopped at Wa, a little zen decor spot I thought was more garden goods than home furnishings, since the exterior sort of resembles a Japanese garden, but they had some great accessories sourced from around the globe.
Wood chests, African sculptures, and betel nut boxes from Southeast Asia.
Local ceramics.
Bark birdhouses.
Ikat cushion on a woven chair.
Silvered glass.
Stone vases.
And my favorite, succulent candles.
Next stop, new natural beauty boutique Melt.
Then I spotted Simply Danish, which just opened six weeks ago. It’s a spare space, with a museum-like display of modern home accessories from companies like Ferm Living, Stelton, and Menu. The photos didn’t come out that well, but here’s a sampling of their goods.
Rubber vases.
Trivets.
Decals and dish towels.
There’s a new home design boutique in Provincetown. There’s no name on the outside, but the hang tags on the items say South Stream Design Christian Soderstrom. I think he may be an interior designer. I chatted with him briefly on Memorial Day weekend, but it was their first day and things were busy. The shop is enchanting, mixing home accessories with garden ornaments (new, old, and reproductions). The prices are extremely reasonable and I was excited to see he Cavern wallpaper on two of the walls – he even sells it. I picked up a cute garden bunny for my friend Tanya, since she and Rob were making one of their fabulous brunches for us the next morning. The photos I took didn’t come out very well, so I went back last week and shot a few more. And brought home a garden fairy for myself this time.

The bunny. He’d make a great doorstop too.
The bunnies’ friends.
Love the map wall in the back.
The side window, all in white.
Yesterday I went to Brimfield for the first time! Luckily, I met up with Jill Goldberg with the impeccable taste from Hudson, who pointed me in the right direction. It runs to the end of the week if you have a chance to visit. (And it’s back again in July.) It was a quick 90-minute drive from Boston. Here are some things that caught my eye:
