Southern Living

Last weekend I was in beautiful Savannah, GA for my dear friends wedding. It was a gorgeous elegant event and I had a blast and was honored to be a bridesmaid. The moss covered tree were something to see! I snagged this pic on my way in. It was a fun and busy weekend but I managed to squeeze a couple store visits and a riverboat ride on the Georgia Queen in.

My favorite stop this trip was Jekyll Island, GA. Absolutely gorgeous! I saw some creatures below, and also some great birds and even a dolphin! It was so quiet and serene.  I explored over 200 miles of the coast this trip meandering my way from beach to thrift store. Other stops included Tybee Island just east of Savannah, Flagler Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Anastasia State Park, a brief visit to the Kennedy Space center which ended since a rocket just got sent into space and the beach was closed (a rocket) that doesn't happen every day! I also spent the night oceanside at Daytona Beach and my last day I spent the day soakin up the rays at Cocoa Beach.

Along one of the beaches at Jekyl Island, there were tons of horshoe crabs to be seen along the beach, more than I have ever scene and they were all huge! I took a ton of picks and ran around checking em out. So awesome, mysterious, and beautiful! What a sight! This is one of my fave pics!

Like all good things, my trip came to an end and I arrived back home this afternoon with loads of artgoodies work ahead. Full speed ahead tomorrow!
Like all good things, my trip came to an end and I arrived back home this afternoon with loads of artgoodies work awaiting me. I managed to read a whole book while away- which I never have time to do, find some sweet vintage goodies available soon on my store, and soak up some much needed vitamin D for the hard Michigan winter ahead. Nothing like a mini beach vacation! I’m already daydreaming about next years  March beach trip! I’m refueled and refreshed and it’s go time for the holiday season! Full speed ahead – tomorrow!

Oh My! These photos are soooo beautiful! Makes me want to pack my bags right now and go!

Great photos and a picture perfect account of the impression made on you by Jekyll Island. If possible, we would like to use one of your Jekyll photos (“Sun starts to set….”) as the “Photo of the Week” for http://www.savejekyllisland.org, which is the website of the Initiative to Protect Jekyll Island State Park.

Those photos bring back memories of our last trip to Jekyll Island during the Shrimp and Grits Festival in September. We were walking on the beach and came across a group of buzzards sitting in a low tree on top of the dunes. They were taking turns taking off from the tree, soaring about 2 feet off the top of the dunes, and then returning to the tree.

While one was soaring, the others were watching, as if they were critiquing the soaring ones flight performance. Never saw anything like it.

We got pictures, but not as good as yours, so I won’t be posting them.

Hello Lisa! Thought we’d stop by and say hello….love your pictures! Savannah is a favorite place! Never been to Jekyll – we always stay at Tybee…the GA cost is so relaxing – isn’t it?
Hope all is going well…we’re still thinking of you for spring!
