What, When, Where: Cape & Islands Shopping

By Kara Lashley

Working on our upcoming Cape & Islands issue, I’ve gotten a sneak peek at some of the fabulous items local shops will be carrying this spring and summer. Should your travels take you east of the Cape Cod Canal any time soon, here’s a roadmap of what’s new at a few of our favorite home decor hotspots.

Osterville: Stop by Margo’s for unique accessories both hip and homey, from a shocking-yellow coral on a Lucite base to folk art paintings by Tim Campbell.

Chatham: Midsummer Nights is brimming with textile luxuries like Mia + Finn bedding, nautical throws by Connecticut-based Happy Blanket and summery pillows from Ryan Studio.

The store also stocks some serious statement lighting: behold Currey & Company‘s Hedy chandelier in turquoise and jade glass.

Provincetown: Head to WA for hand-painted lamps by Brazilian artist Ana Maia, as well as shapely wooden bracelets by Colin Schleeh–they’d be just as pretty sitting on a dresser as on your arm.

Also in P-town, Shor is all stocked up on tabletop and furniture pieces ideal for summer entertaining, like the chic Sag Harbor table by Worlds Away.

Or go for a vintage vibe at Coastal with this metal daybed and ticking-stripe cushion.

And you’ll definitely want to pick up a few handwoven cotton blankets from island workshop Union Textiles.

The Vineyard: Bespoke Abode is your source for stylish pieces from Martha’s Vineyard Furniture Co., including this cocktail table from the line’s Destination collection. (Note the MV zip code.)

For a splash of seaside flair, we also love the store’s Lord Bogner triptych from Natural Curiosities.

Last stop: Vineyard Haven’s Midnight Farm, where there’s certainly no shortage of fresh home furnishings, from cozy seating to seahorse lamps.
