Nancy Yuskaitis ~ Paradise Inspired Photography & Jewelry ~ Island Mountain Style

Greetings from Florida
Happy November

I hope everyone is enjoying a colorful autumn season wherever you may live. We are enjoying the South Florida weather & time by the sea. The ocean is so inspirational to me & fuels my creativity all year long.  I recently have expanded my art endeavors to include photography & currently have a collection of Scenic Photo Greeting Cards & more available through an etsy shop which I will share with you in this post.  You may also find some photo items available on my jewelry website and on FineArtAmerica.com.

I will be adding new scenic photo collage cards from other locations in the next month so stay tuned for images of your favorite travel destinations... or ones on your wish list.


I truly appreciate your support throughout the last few years at Nancy Yuskaitis Jewelry and now I'd like to invite you to also join me on a new journey where you will find Paradise inspired Travel Photography, Beach Scenes, Coastal Towns, Mountain Villages, Botanical Beauty & Cottage Style Design.

I will also share the view from my cottage studio in the mountains & the ocean and from travels in our camper van. You will find colorful images of beach walks & beach getaways, urban bungalows & adobe casitas, mountain cottages & powder days.  My love of the ocean, sea treasures, bluebird skies, wildflowers & travel is a way of life & a journey that I would love to share with you.

My lifestyle approach is:
Island - Bohemian - Coastal - Cottage - Beachy - Bungalow
Rustic - Modern - Vintage - Contemporary
Tropical - Mountain - Colorful.

I believe that life is meant to be lived with Passion, Vision & a Generous Happy Spirit.

"I have found that if you love life, it will love you right back." ~ Arthur Robinstein

Wishing you a happy & colorful life,
~Nancy

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

On the First Day of Spring

                         

MARATHON KEY

HAPPY SPRING!
Spring arrived today as I prepare to leave this snow-filled ski town for a warmer climate.  Although usually sunny days and the bluest of skies surround us in the winter in between snow storms lasting only a few days, the cloudy gray skies and feet of white snow everywhere is inspiring my daydreams and night time dreams with visions of the ocean, palm trees and bright vivid shades of citrus, hot pink and blue.

MY FESTIVE ISLAND BEACH JEWELRY

Although skiing has been wonderful and winter has been filled with many festive celebrations   its season is coming to an end in a few weeks. I find I am spending time longing for the familiar scenery of my home state of Florida and the exotic tropical lifestyle of the Florida Keys and Key West.

LITTLE TORCH KEY

My mind transports me with anticipation to bike rides in the warm sunshine, fresh seafood caught that day and seaside sunsets with friends over a refreshing cocktail.  Outdoor tiki bar style dining and dancing, fabulous live music, boat rides and and picnic island.

LITTLE TORCH KEY

My imagination is filled with ideas and colors to update our seaside home ... a Retro Island Cottage that is filled with a collection of happy memories, photo's, gifts and family hand me downs from both sides adding to its eclectic tropical ambiance.

MY ISLAND BEACH JEWELRY

LITTLE TORCH KEY

Some of the most cherished items are a swizzle stick collection from my dad's many travels in the 60's and 70's, a watercolor painting of his former home in the Abaco's on the sweet little island of Hope Town and a collection of Bahamian cocktail recipes on fabric swatches that I have framed and displayed. A beautiful large wooden fish serving platter hangs on the wall in the dining room and pretty silver glass cups used daily are from my in-laws.

PICNIC ISLAND, LITTLE TORCH KEY

If I were there right now I could describe many more sentimental items and maybe one day when I am sitting there writing I will take photo's and share them with you.

Cheers! Here's to a Happy Spring filled with new beginnings!
