The Summer Life..

Flipping through my current issue of BH&G,which is  themed, The Summer Life..
The magazine is chock full of fun things to do if you are planning a "staycation" this summer.
The issue features a bit of something for everyone..
grilling, gardening and get-togethers..

  I came across an article  about Mary Kay Andrews.. the author. who just happens to be a favorite of mine!

Well, it was more about her beach home The Breeze Inn on Tybee Island, Georgia.

I won't divulge the details, but I will say the place is gorgeous..
in a delightfully comfortable , yet colorful,  beachy way.
Also mentioned  was   the Pink Flamingo screen door..
Love it!! Brings back so many childhood memories of mine..

 Now being a FOLLOWER  Diane Kaufman of  Mermaid Cottages

 who are the contacts for rental of the cottage,and also Layla and Kevin Palmer  of  The Lettered Cottage who recently stayed in the cottage while doing an article themselves, as well as the author herself, I was more than familiar with details mentioned in the article.
It was an informative and  interesting read,  seeing the behind the scenes efforts photos which turned the cottage from a wreck into the whimsical and lovely beach cottage of today.

A framed collection of best selling books covers by the author.

This latest page turner. The Fixer Upper will accompany me next week on my trip to Florida 

 I would LOVE to visit Tybee Island sometime ..

perhaps touring on something like this?

Or maybe an Island Bike like this?

..so it's a "penciled in in ink" someday event on my "Bucket List"..
or should I call it my "sand pail list"?

Have a beautiful day wherever you are..and please..
keep  on dreaming..
I know I DO!

warmest hugs..laughing smiles..
