Jennifer Garner has been the center of attention on Nantucket as her recent stay for the filming of Peacock’s upcoming miniseries, “The Five-Star Weekend,” has given locals a chance to spot the A-lister around town. Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s beloved novel, the series will film in both Nantucket and Los Angeles, drawing attention to the picturesque island.
Garner, known for her versatility in both movies and real life, has been embracing the local culture by diving into traditional crafts. During her leisure time, she has taken up weaving at Nantucket Looms, a treasured local establishment that has been crafting handmade items since 1968. Garner shared her weaving journey on social media, saying, “It’s the looming life for me,” and humorously referred to her work-in-progress as the “seven-year scarf.”
The actress’s latest hobby highlights her dedication and artistic side, as she affectionately described the concentration it requires, stating, “This is the kind of thing that makes you stick your tongue out in concentration.” Garner, often referred to as “Farmer Jen” on social media for her culinary endeavors, playfully coined a new nickname for herself — “Weaver Jen.”
Garner’s positive experience at Nantucket Looms left her reluctant to leave. Her interaction with the shop’s welcoming staff concluded with smiles and a memorable new scarf. As her Instagram followers get a glimpse into her journey, it’s clear that Garner has not only become part of the community but has also embraced the serene yet creative lifestyle the island offers.
In addition to Garner’s weaving adventures, Nantucket has recently captured headlines with former Patriots coach, Bill Belichick’s purchase of a stunning home in the heart of downtown. These celebrity headlines, alongside Nantucket’s charming eateries and cozy island spots, continue to spotlight Nantucket as a premier destination that blends breathtaking views with a deep sense of community.
