Father’s Day Shopping Galore
There are so many great new shops on the East End this summer! I can barely get to them all. On Sunday I took a respite and just went to the Southampton Farmers Market and the Southampton Antiques Fair. The fair benefits the Southampton Historical Society and is in its fourth year at Captain White House located at 159 Main Street. It runs every other Sunday, so the next one is Sunday, June 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I didn’t buy a lot of antiques and designer accessories while I was there, but I sure could have…back to the present…Father’s Day is this weekend! The perfect opportunity to spend quality time with the No. 1 man in your life and show him how much you care about him! If you’re still looking for that perfect gift, head to one of these great Hamptons locations with dad in mind…
