Sand, Sun and Sensational Food

September 26, 2009

We’ll wrap up the beach trip today with a few more beach pics and some eating out highlights (which, if you haven’t figured that out yet, is one of our favorite things to do).  Bring on the food!  Especially seafood. We have a few favorite restaurants here at the beach now and they never disappoint. [...]

Beautiful Beach Cottages in Seagrove

September 26, 2009

I‘m really not kidding when I say that the Gulf coast beaches in Florida are some of the best in the world.  They really are fantastic and I’ve been to quite a few world-renowned beaches, including St. Thomas, St. John, St. Bart’s, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica.  These will rival them all! And Seagrove Beach is [...]

Shopping in Destin

September 23, 2009

Once again, I met up with my friend, Kat (of JustabeachKat blog), for a day of shopping and lunch.  And we hit the usual spots, some antique stores that are in the area:  Bienvenue, Smith’s, and Holiday Antiques. All great places to browse.   The fun thing about antique stores is you never know what you’ll [...]

Fun at the Beach

September 20, 2009

Since we have just returned from the beach, I don’t have any thrifty treasures to show you today. Actually we got back on Friday and even though it was raining here on Saturday a.m., I did get out and hit a few sales, but it was a bust. I didn’t find much of anything, so [...]

Beach Houses and Shopping

April 4, 2009

When you’re traveling with girls, you can be sure there will be plenty of good food. Most of our hubbies will not eat like this, so it’s nice to eat girlie food on a trip to the beach. Tricia brought her oh-so-yummy Southern Living Cha-Cha chicken salad, which she made for us and if you [...]

Just Us Girls

April 3, 2009

There’s just nothing like a road trip to Gulf Shores with some girlfriends to recharge your batteries and just enjoy some good ole’ girl time. We all love our hubbies, but this trip was all about us. We got to do exactly as we pleased, stopped as much as we wanted while we were driving, [...]

Sales and Going to the Beach

March 28, 2009

It’s been raining a lot this week. We’ve had some severe storms blowing through the last couple of days and I was browsing the Saturday yardsales in the paper Friday night about 9 pm, when I spotted the Mt. Laurel ad. My heart skipped a beat. I look for that one every spring and fall, [...]

Beach Bum

November 24, 2008

I think I could officially become a beach bum, well part of the time anyway. There’s nothing more relaxing than spending an afternoon on the beach. Shells are not abundant in this area of the Gulf for some reason, but I did mange to pick up a few cat’s paws, which I think are so [...]

Back from the Beach And the Winners ARE!!

May 24, 2008

As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Vacation was wonderful, but we are glad to be in our Home Sweet Home, once again. Did you miss me?? I missed y’all a lot and even checked in a few times, but for the most part, stayed off the computer and [...]

Back from Seagrove Beach!

May 26, 2007

We’re back! WOW, what an absolutely fantastic week at the beach we had. Truly, the weather could NOT have been more perfect, nor the condo we stayed in. I found this condo online and rented directly from the owners. It was just outside Seaside in Seagrove Beach and was just perfect, nestled off the beaten [...]
