Life in Paradise

2008-02-06T08:39:00.000-05:00

Who knew when I moved to Florida almost 28 years ago, that I would stay? The growth has been phenomenal. Having moved to Singer Island back in 1980, things have really changed. The little diner at the marina is now a huge restaurant with large open windows and Key West styling. The fabulous sunset is still the same. Who could change that??

We now exhibit our jewelry on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Sailfish Marina. Tuesday is laid back with awesome music and casual strolling customers. Thursday, on the other hand, is bustling with people, music, outdoor bars, and their famous grouper dogs. People watching is at it's peek on Thurdays. If you're in the area and want a fun night out, come and see us from 5pm-9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the marina.

Taking an Art Class

2008-01-28T09:00:00.000-05:00

It's only Monday morning, and I am getting psyched for my weekly art class. I just started a couple of weeks ago and it's more fun than I ever imagined. I'm currently working on an acrylic painting of my precious golden retriever, Rosie. The photo to the left is my painting subject. I loved the colors and the innocence. Let's just hope it turns out looking similar to the photograph:)
