Rosemary Beach

Beautiful Beaches

Quaint little town square

Incredible Architecture

Great Memories

and lots of laughter in the sun

sums up the little town of Rosemary Florida!

We love visiting the 30A Grayton Beach Area...

It's unlike any other....

you see families bicycling everywhere

kids playing on the green lawns

and 100s of umbrellas all along the white beaches.

Here are just a few pictures of our amazing vacation

in Rosemary.

If you can you must visit this area!

Here is the quaint little town where we ate and shopped:

Let's talk architecture:

 
Does this look familiar?  This is the post office

in Seaside that Tricia Robinson painted in

her fun and bright mixed media style!

 
Painting with Tricia was one of our highlights at the beach!

Her cute booth at the West Indies market in Rosemary!

Abby sat and painted an eiffel tower with her:

We both learned about using a palette knife to add texture to a painting:

We can't wait to make it back next year and paint some more!

You know she offers art camps in Birmingham..maybe one

day we will make it up there.

Well, Rosemary beach...we love you and will see you back

next year!

 

Crepe Paper Tree

I just designed a dessert table for a friend who had a beautiful party for her husband who is turning 40 and a celebration of friendship for her friend James Parish.  I made the crepe paper tree that I showed you as a centerpiece for her table in the last post.  It took 10 hours but was incredibly worth it!  Once it leaves her party it will be gracing my living room! 

I simply bought willow branches from Costco and at least 10-12 lilac crepe paper streamers I found at Party City.  All you do is cut the streamers to the length you would like and simply pink and twist every inch or so.  

I then attached the streamers with another piece of crepe paper.  Just tie around the branch to secure.  All you need is patience to make this tree.  I would love to make one in pink to resemble a cherry blossom for a bridal shower or wedding!  Go to Sweet Nest to see details of my desserts!  Happy papering!   

Happy Days

This painting is a beautiful reminder of where we are going next week!  Rosemary Beach, Florida!

Can't wait to show you those picutres...of course I will be blogging there. This picture is of the little post office in the main shopping square in Rosemary. Tricia Robinson
