paradise found
Living in Naples for most of my life, I sometimes take it for granted just what a beautiful area this really is. I was recently at the beach on a family outing and as usual, we brought home a pail full of lovely shell beauties. It got me thinking that this is really what destination weddings are all about. Something different, something beautiful and something that inspires feelings. A lot of my brides come down here ready to enjoy the beach-themed wedding and often ask me for ideas on gifts for their maids of honor or bridesmaids. They often times say that they want something unique and something that will remind the recipient of that very special day. So I went hunting at some of my favorite little shops on 5th Avenue here in Naples and had to post this!
These little treasure seascape pyramids are handmade right here in the USA by Pam Smith and are filled with, you guessed it, sand and shells! All of these little yummies are encased in beveled glass. When I saw these I thought, how beautiful and unique! They would make the perfect little gift to thank that special bridesmaid or family member for all their help. And think of the memories they would conjure up later on. Fabulous! Find them at Random Acts of Art on 5th avenue, Naples, Florida! And if you’re a mom, check out Pam’s water prisms! Fill them up with water and hang thme up in your kid’s room and let the sun shine through for the most amazing prism rainbows ever!
Rani, the fantabulous owner of Random Acts of Art, also showed me these beautiful little ‘flower pillows’ made by Evan & Kyanne Livingston. These small vessels are glazed on the inside so that you can fill them with water, place flowers in them and voila! Beautiful and unique flower holders. Wouldn’t these be a great way to say thank you!
