Island Beach Style ~ Sandy Beaches & Seashells



It's been a busy August in the studio designing jewelry for several online gift shops, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Via Key West.  I hope you will take a moment while sipping a cup of coffee or your favorite tea and visit them both online, I promise you won't be disappointed with the unique selection of gifts in a tropical style.


I've also been busy filling new orders, making custom earrings and bracelets for repeat customers and even a memory bracelet for one of my most supportive customers who wanted to remember a close friend.


Bracelets are always a fun way to add a pop of color and show off your style with ease.  Today I've featured two of my favorite things in the world...beaches and seashells.  Bracelets shown will be available online at  www.margaritavillestore.com Made in Key West and ViaKeyWest

I can't believe it's the end of August...where has the summer gone?  Even though school has started and it's almost Labor Day I'm still in a summertime frame of mind listening to beach music at Beachfront Radio and dreaming of the beach.

An Artful Town ~ Crested Butte, CO




 Crested Butte, Colorado in the summertime is filled with art shows, ArtWalks, an organic farmer's market and this past weekend the CB Art Festival lined our main street, Elk Avenue with rows of white tents filled with colorful art.  It is a festive two day event filled with live music, delicious foods, art and food demo's and of course lots of local and national artists.  I've featured a few of my favorite artists from various shows this summer that I hope you enjoy.  Creativity inspires creativity. Enjoy!

Seaside Sunsets in the Florida Keys




Sunsets in the Florida Keys are a gorgeous ending to a beautiful day.
Each one is more unique than the day before and each one calls for a celebration.
I love sitting on the back dock toasting the sunset as it falls into the ocean giving the sky a burst of color in shades of peach, persimmon, mango and conch shell pink.  These photo's are some of my favorites taken over the last year or so in the lower Keys and
 Key West.  I hope you enjoy the beauty and delightful surprise that calls to me each evening whenever possible to experience this true gift.
Wishing you sunset delight,
~Nancy
