550) North Ridge Lane Holiday Lights Display - Amelia Island! Vlogmas 12/4/24

Picture

Christmas Lights On Amelia Island! North Ridge Lane Holiday Lights Display 2024 - Fernandina Beach, Florida.

Join me for a driving tour of a beautiful Christmas light display on North Ridge & Citrona in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Known as the North Ridge Holiday Lights Display, we literally stumbled upon this quaint and charming neighborhood during our Vlogmas getaway to Amelia Island in December of 2024. It’s so adorable, and I hope you enjoy coming along with me as we check out the entire display.

Also, be sure to listen closely, as Santa Claus has a very important message that all should hear - please share out the video with those who could benefit from such a profound and declarative statement.

Love you,
Christine

P.S. It’s officially my favorite time of the year - Vlogmas is here!

540) A Scenic Drive to History: The Winding Road to Kingsley Plantation 2025

Picture

Scenic Florida drive to Kingsley Plantation - a beautiful oak-lined road through nature in Jacksonville’s Timucuan Preserve.

Come along with me on a relaxing drive through a canopy of trees and Spanish moss on the winding road to the Kingsley Plantation - part of the National Park Service. This lush and vibrant preserve is a must-see while in Northeast Florida. It’s located on the tiny Fort George Island, and just south of the amazing Amelia Island.

This video is only one stop of a much longer autumn day trip from Jacksonville Beach to Amelia Island. If you’re loving the scenery, definitely check out the full road trip - right here!

426) Meeting Mrs. Breadsticks - Why Saying Yes Changed My Life

Picture
Embarking on a new endeavor.

~ And why saying yes can change your life too:

I’ve read a lot in the past about saying no, and when to say no, for self-care purposes. There are seemingly infinite self-help articles, blogs, books, and videos, all about teaching you to learn to say no. 


Whether its saying no to helping an acquaintance move, driving someone to the airport that you really don’t have the time or desire to drive them to, saying no to a night out when you just want to curl up under a blanket and watch a movie, or saying no to taking on a new project that you can’t wrap your brain around at this point in time. 

I think, and this is just my very generalized opinion, that humans for the most part no longer have a problem with learning how to say no, and saying so declaratively. I think all those self-care books have done the job they’ve set out to do… and then some. Today, there seems to be absolutely no problems with saying no. You can just say NO, and move on with your life. No big deal.

But what about saying yes? What about learning to say yes to something that you would normally just say no to in response?

Over two years ago now, I was asked to illustrate a children’s book - it was my first children’s book as an artist. And now, looking back on this decision over two years later, I know that saying yes to this project was truly one of the best decisions of my life.

I said yes to this project sight unseen. Simply meaning, I didn’t know the author (Mary S. Holden) at the time. Now, we’re dear friends - of course! But at the time, it began purely as a business transaction. A business transaction that meant the whole world to me. It was faith that told me to say yes. I desperately wanted the project, but didn’t know if the project wanted me. 

By saying yes, I embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. I created thirty two pages of illustrations, and helped bring the author’s lovely characters to life. It was such a pleasure, and an honor, and I’m so glad that Mary said yes, to me, as well.

I never dreamed I could become so attached to fictional characters. I never imagined that there would come a day in my life where I would wake up in the morning, grab my cup of coffee, and want to immediately check on my new friends - all hanging out in my art studio. I would run into my studio and say hello to them, to greet the new day ahead. And I would wonder… what should Mrs. Breadsticks wear today? That anticipatory part of the routine… was the most exciting part of the entire process for me.

But there was another joyous part of this project that was the best of all. It was in the culmination, and ripple effect of decisions, that saying yes sparked in my life. It was how by saying yes to this project, my life was, once again, completely transformed.

Once I said yes to Mrs. Breadsticks, there were an abundance of yes’ that came into my life. I said yes to so many things after that initial yes. A simple change - my studio setup changed (over and over) until I found just the right feng shui arrangement for best work flow. My daily routine changed entirely. My exercise changed. My art changed. My YouTube channel changed immensely. All of this change, in so many ways - too many to mention here.

In fact, my art changed so much after the book - which was illustrated completely in acrylic - that I’m almost exclusively working in a new medium right now. 

I’ve just spent over a full year working in watercolor - something I was too scared, and much too timid, shy and fearful, to try - before my experience of painting Mrs. Breadsticks. 

And now, watercolor is my life. It’s a dream. And my paintings are so different. And I’m in love with the process of creating art, even more than I ever thought I could be. I even wrote my own children’s book during the course of last year, 2024, and illustrated the entire book (in watercolor) - which will be released this spring exclusively on Amazon.

Another fact, I've been so intensely busy living this post-Mrs. Breadsticks life, that I have been too preoccupied to even publish a blog post and post this story until today - many, many months after the book's formal publication date. It actually took me getting seriously ill with pneumonia and bronchitis during the end of 2024 and into practically the whole month of January 2025, to really slow me down, and ‘make’ the time in my schedule to publish a dedicated blog post on my own website on this matter. 

I am also happy to report I’m on the mend, quickly now, and improving every day. So, naturally, I’m getting this story out into the world this day, before I become ‘too well’ and too busy, once again to tell you all about how Mrs. Breadsticks changed my life.

Years from now, I know that I will always remain grateful for Mrs. Breadsticks coming into my life, and for the author asking me to complete this project. Because Mary S. Holden is the singular reason this all happened. But just the same, I know that I will always be grateful - to myself - for having the courage to say yes to Mrs. Breadsticks. Because saying yes did change my life. And saying yes can change your life too.~

408) Cheers, Coffee, & Good Tidings - At Amelia Island Coffee

Picture

[POSTED Monday 12.16.24]

Cheers, coffee, and good tidings - are all found at Amelia Island Coffee.

This fabulous coffee shop, located right downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida on Amelia Island, is a lovely gathering spot in town, and I always truly enjoy coming here. 

I love the location, because it's right in the middle of all the best shops and restaurants, and happens to be directly next to a Christmas tree adorned with white starfish garland. There are plenty of benches to find seating, and actually, in my own mind and imagination, this is the unofficial gathering spot for the entire town.

By sitting outside here, I can hear the sounds of bells ringing, I can see an endless amount of dogs with wagging tails out on their morning walks. I can glance down at the waterfront to see the boats arriving and departing the shoreline. And, if I'm extra lucky, I'll also catch a freight train, traveling slowly, straight past the town Christmas tree.

On this December morning I had a large hot latte, and their delicious blueberry muffin of course, while Bryan had an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. And while you can sit inside as well, I always see lots of people taking grab-n-go to sit down by the water with their food and drinks. And even though it was so cold, we did just that.

So come for the coffee, stay for the breakfast. Grab a chair, or a bench outside, and watch the world - and the boats - go by.

Love you,
Christine

Amelia Island Coffee is located at:
207 Centre Street
Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034
Hours of operation: 7am-5pm, 7 days/week

397) Amelia Linen & Wood - on Centre Street in historic downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida

Picture

Thanks so much for joining me on Amelia Island in northeast Florida this week! Here's our new nutcracker, on display in our decorated hotel room, before going home. 

I would definitely call this trip yet another successful Christmas, holiday themed, and Vlogmas adventure. I've been doing a Christmas getaway each year since living in Florida, and many of them seem to have taken me to Amelia Island. I hope you enjoyed all the charm of this small island as much as I did. 

The fact that I came home with a souvenir I'll always cherish makes me even more happy and excited about this little holiday getaway. I purchased this adorable little nutcracker from Amelia Linen & Wood after our livestream ended. He is decked out in a baker's hat, topped with a gingerbread cookie, and holding a rolling pin.

My grandpa was a baker for over 40 years, and I miss him terribly sometimes - especially at this time of year. And my guess is it's because of him that I wanted this little guy to take home with me.

(And speaking of baking, we'll be making homemade candy cane cookies soon for Vlogmas, so I'll be posting the recipe here on the Community page in case you want to prepare and follow along with us.) I hope my Papa is happy that I try to keep the joy of baking alive - to share those moments with others. A joy that he instilled in me over the course of so many years, and oh so very many cookies. I can still picture him in his kitchen, rolling out dough. Flour - everywhere. Christmas movies playing on the television. 

I think he would be happy that I try to travel every Christmas season. To see something new, to see a town when it's not its normal self or as it is year round, to see an area all decked out in its holiday finest.

On this beautiful, yet cold, day we toured the north side of Centre Street together in downtown Fernandina Beach. This area is on the National Register of Historic Places, and there is so much history present on every block. I learn something new every time I visit, and I hope you did too. 

But mostly, I hope you enjoyed the holiday window displays, the dogs who were served special bones by happy shop owners, the friendly people who greeted us along the way, the starfish decorated Christmas Tree, the frosted window panes that I should never have actually touched lol, and the joy seeing something new and different around every corner.

I already miss Amelia Island and cannot wait to go back once again.

So thanks for joining me on this lovely walking tour of Centre Street in downtown Fernandina Beach on this cold December morning. What town do you seek out each Christmas - that brings forth all that holiday charm, good tidings, and great joy into your heart each holiday season?

Love you,
Christine

P.S. Amelia Linen & Wood is located at:
317 Centre Street
Suite A
Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034
Hours of Operation: Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 12pm-4pm

396) Quick December driving tour of historic downtown Fernandina Beach, FL 2024

Picture

Join me for a quick drive through downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida. It’s a chilly December evening along the coast, and the town is decorated with lights, garland, and wreaths. It’s simply wonderful. And all the beautiful sights really just get me into that holiday spirit. 

This area of town is part of the National Register of Historic Places. The old buildings are so wonderful to look at, and there’s an endless amount of fabulous shops and restaurants in this small span of space. The lights add a level of magic to the air. The waterfront is glistening with the moonlight. And, at the top of the town, the Christmas Tree is standing proudly on display, greeting everybody who comes to say hello.

Love you,
Christine

P.S. Do you love driving through towns to look at all the Christmas lights and see all the beautiful holiday decor?

If you’re new to the channel, welcome to a community of dreamers. Either way, definitely be sure to say hello! And many thanks for joining me on this very official, and completely cheerful, Vlogmas 2024!

394) Vlogmas: Sea Cottages of Amelia Exterior Walking Tour - Amelia Island, FL Dec. 2024

Picture

Good tidings are being sent your way on this night. Come along with Genevieve Noel and I as we walk the beautiful grounds of the Sea Cottages of Amelia! It’s a cold December night, and Santa Paws is almost ready to come to town. Genevieve is eager to show you around, and is also extra excited for the Christmas/holiday season taking place all month long. 

Thanks for touring the exterior property of these beautiful beach cottages with us tonight. While this video’s focus is specifically the outside property of the cottages, I also have a detailed interior hotel room tour linked below, in case you’re looking for all the amenities that come inside a cottage. Plus, my entire Amelia Island playlist is below as well.

If you’re looking for hotels on Amelia Island, do consider this charming, old-fashioned beach get-a-way. You’re one block from the beach, a few miles from all the shops and restaurants of downtown Fernandina Beach, but you’re also worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Pack your bags, grab a book or two to read, plus a sun hat, and soak in all the small island charm of Florida’s Atlantic coastline, and the absolutely lovely Amelia Island.

If you’re new to the channel, welcome to a community of dreamers. Either way, definitely be sure to say hello! And many thanks for joining me, and Genevieve the Shetland Sheepdog, on this very official, and completely cheerful, Vlogmas 2024!

386) Vlogmas: A December Sunrise Street to the Beach Walk on Amelia Island, Florida 12.5.24

Picture

Join me this December morning for a sunrise street to the beach walk on beautiful Amelia Island, Florida. We’ll be walking past five area hotels - that are all within walking distance of the beach - starting at the Sea Cottages of Amelia. Then we’ll catch the golden sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean and walk the beach.

Why do we do ‘Street to the Beach’ you may ask? Because all of life’s greatest paths lead out to the beach.

If you’re new to the channel, welcome to a community of dreamers. Either way, definitely be sure to say hello! And many thanks for joining me on this very official, and completely cheerful, Vlogmas 2024! Good tidings.

330) Sunshine & Hurricanes... WhatANut on Amelia Island - My Experience 9.21.2024

Picture

Sunshine and Hurricanes...

It could mean the name of a frozen drink, or it could be a weather forecast. But maybe it just means... Florida.

Whatever it means, I thought it was perfection. So here are my treasures I came home with from Amelia Island. 

We stopped in What-A-Nut after a fabulous lunch downtown Fernandina Beach. I saw this hat in the window, and it was the only one left with that saying printed on it. It was instantly in my hands and off to the register. Two pieces of chocolate later, and it was all simply meant to be.

WhatANut is located at:
118 Centre Street
Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034

Located about one block from the water, it's a great, small gift shop, with some trinkets and various other treasures. But they also offer fresh baked cookies, ice cream, and nuts. The hat cost $27.95, and the chocolates were roughly $3.00 per candy. Definitely worth a stop in for a sweet treat, or cold ice cream, when you're on Amelia Island. 

And as I am already dreaming about and pondering my next visit, maybe I'll be checking out the fudge shop next time? Hmmm.

But for now, here's wishing everyone some abundant sunshine - and no actual real life hurricanes sent your way. I do wish you the love for the beauty around you, laughter, and spice of life that maybe this hat can represent when I wear it... As we keep exploring and venturing out into this beautiful world - together.

Love you,
Christine

Hey There Fellow Dreamers!!

Shaved Ice was totally calling my name yesterday. 

Thanks for coming along with me on a fabulous weekend day trip to Amelia Island, Florida!

Our first stop of the day was to take the Auto Ferry across the St. Johns River. Or should I say, our first stop was Dunkin Donuts. And after we crossed the St. Johns, we sat along the riverbank with our iced coffees, watching all the boats coming and going - inland to the City of Jacksonville, or out to sea.

Then we did some island hopping, in an area of the Florida coast also known as the North Florida Keys. Our final destination of the day was the beautiful and dreamy Amelia Island.

We decided upon visiting a state park for the afternoon. Admission to Fort Clinch State Park costs $6.00 per vehicle for the day, and it was worth every penny. The drive into the 1,400 acre park alone is magnificent, with Live Oaks draping the street from overhead, and people riding bikes, cycling past us in either direction.

Once we reached the beach, however, the Florida heat took over, my dear friends. And it really knocked me for a loop. Although I took every precaution I could think of to be prepared, the intense, straight overhead sun nearly did me in for the day. And it’s only April.

I do think the humid and sizzling days are almost here to stay for the upcoming summer, and it will only get hotter from here on out in the Sunshine State. So let this serve as a friendly reminder… If you’re going to be heading to the beach in the coming days and months ahead, always remember to hydrate ahead of time, bring water, and use sunscreen. Even more so, wear protective clothing to protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays. 

And then, all that’s left to do is to appreciate all the beauty surrounding you. And end the day with a shaved ice in a color-changing cup, of course.

See you in the next one… somewhere under the hot sun.

Love you,
Christine

133) The Marina At Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida -LIVE- Edge of this Historic Downtown

Picture

I’ve been in love with the beautiful and picturesque Amelia Island since my very first visit years ago. In this video I show you the very edge of downtown which is called Fernandina Beach. Specifically, I found myself on the literal edge of the water. We had just kept walking and the pathway kept leading us down the stairs so I kind of and sort of just found myself standing upon the edge of this dock. I do tend to just wind up in certain places by happenstance. As I stood there, looking out at the beauty, I realized I had to go LIVE right then and there. I hope you enjoy the scenery, the water, the reflections, the boats, the fluffy pooch I got to say hello to, the flags blowing in the wind, and the golden afternoon sunshine.

Definitely check out the town of Fernandina Beach next time you are on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. Well worth a visit, for a day, an overnight, or for much longer too - there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, book shops, and tourist shops abound - Florida’s oldest bar included. But mostly, enjoy the scenery, the beauty of nature, all around you.

Filmed LIVE on Sunday, October 15, 2023 in Fernandina Beach, Florida.

#24) In Real Life ~ My First Visit To A Southern Living Idea House

Picture
I’ve dreamed of visiting a Southern Living Idea House for probably as long as I’ve known of the idea itself. Fascinated with their magazine, I always read the Idea House stories, soaked in the advertisements inviting the public to come see, and desperately wanted to attend a tour. And then, this year the Southern Living Idea House was literally right next door to me! How could I not go?
Picture
I snagged up tickets in practically the same breath I found out about the events location. I live in on San Pablo Island, and just a few island hops north of me sits Amelia Island. Crane Island is a very small island within Amelia island… Have you ever been to such a place? An island within an island? I have fortunately, many times, and it never gets old.

Hop onto an island… and then hop onto yet another island… that is housed within the confines of and accessed by that larger island. Fascinating, right? Crane Island is its own island on Amelia Island.

To me, Amelia Island’s natural barriers seem like true southern low country. The tides practically touched the exterior of the home we toured, and all the surrounding properties on the quaint island. Breathtaking live oaks surround the islands exterior and draping over the roads leading there, along with nature at its best anywhere you look once upon Crane Island. Crane is a mere tiny little place, located right next door to the Amelia Island Airport. It’s somewhat off the beaten path, and with lots of round-abouts, difficult to find, without GPS.

We booked our tickets through the Eventbrite App - two tickets at $22.00 each, plus fees. It was worth every penny. Of course I took the hubby along - myself, going purely for the interior design and decorating features, and my husband, always interested in the architectural features of a home.

Back in Illinois, and prior to our move down south, we used to live in a home that was dated from 1840. A very old home by my standards, residing in a small strip of a national historic district… and always something wrong with it. So while I called it my very own Green Gables, it was also very much my very own version of The Money Pit. When we moved and sold our Green Gables, I was sick and tired of old. I just wanted new.
Picture
I also think that’s why I love the Southern Living Idea House. The whole concept of the Idea House is to showcase and put right out on display, both for tours and in print, the newest of the new ideas out there in architecture and design, appliances, and decor. My roughly 170 year old home in Illinois had definitely taken its toll on me, and us both, and I’m not interested any more in learning how in the strange and backward ways the pipes were set up, or how I couldn't renovate the bathroom into exactly what I wanted because my head already was hitting the roof while standing in the shower - and I wasn’t about to move the roof. That old house was a dream home, an ideal home, for a tiny bit of time. And once all the money kept leaving our wallets and then some just to keep it standing, the gray hairs it gave me were no longer worth it to me. I was glad to say goodbye to our old house, even though we did truly love it, with all its quirks.

And now we live in a small, but very new, apartment. New everything. New pipes. New walls. New electrical sockets. A cable hook up...Sigh... It’s nothing luxurious by any means, but it new might as well be luxury to my brains expectations, based on my brains past experiences.

So going from old house, to small apartments, it was great for my eyes to then feast on yet another way of life… how the other half lives… Ha. The Southern Living Idea House we toured this weekend is for sale… Yes, it’s for sale for a mere $4,300,000.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
And with over 4,500 square feet of living space, and a half acre of property, right on the coast, I could never even begin to imagine the life of the future owner. How does anyone afford such a place?... That was sometimes the only question my brain could think and process while touring the massive home. I can’t even fathom how much money a person has to earn to purchase this life, or earn to maintain that said life??? But while I can’t grasp the financial implications of such a property, and nor do I even want to - I can grasp all the design. All the decor. Better yet… All the Christmas decor!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Honestly, that’s really all I was interested in - about the home itself. It was decorated BEAUTIFULLY!!! I can’t emphasize that enough! So tasteful, so modern, but classic at the same time. Nothing - not one thing in the entire home - screamed at me that it was going to be out of style any time soon.

I think that's why I love classic design. It’s classic because it stands the test of time. Some of my favorite pieces of wooden furniture I own in my own home are the oldest ones. The ones with history. The classic ones that match anywhere. I loved the feeling and vibe given off by all the furniture and design throughout the entire Idea House. I love how warm and inviting and cozy it all was. This Idea House had all of that. All of that and then some.

And the holiday decor was the added touch that made the entire home quite special indeed. It was heavenly to tour. I couldn’t help but think my mom would LOVE this outing if she was down here in Florida with me. Just come on down for the weekend and go with me? I thought.

Mom is the one who got me utterly and completely hooked on all things magazine. And while I’ve tried to change and adapt with the times to read digitally if at all possible, there’s just something not the same as holding a paper copy of a magazine to read. Flip through, and glance at all the pictures.
Picture
Picture
Reading a paper book or magazine to my is literally like that scene in Full House (the original, not the re-make), when little Michelle Tanner hears the ice cream truck driving past the house.
Picture
She screams, “Ice cream man,” on repeat.
Picture
She takes her piggy bank.

She shakes it. And shakes it.

She screams for money from her piggy bank. “Give me back my money, YOU PIG!”
Picture
She yells at her bank, shaking it still. But the bank is ceramic, and she doesn’t yet know how to release her funds from his belly. In the meantime, the ice cream truck is heard driving away and they miss him entirely. Her older sister DJ tells that they have ice cream in the freezer… just go eat THAT ice cream.
Picture
But it’s not the same,” says Michelle.
Picture
It’s not the same. It's definitely not the same thing as going to get ice cream, out of a truck, on the street, in front of your home. The action can’t be replicated. It’s not the act of eating said ice cream, it’s where the ice cream is coming from before it enters your mouth.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Michelle Tanner understood that much as a very small child. She knew how she wanted to spend her funds from her piggy bank. It was the experience that Michelle really wanted, not necessarily just the ice cream.
Picture
And sometimes digitally reading something is not the same as reading it in print… on paper.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Flipping the pages at your leisure.
Picture
Bookmarking your spot… and closing the cover.

And then looking at the beautiful cover as the magazine sits and takes a rest break on your coffee table or ottoman. Or putting the hard bound book back on the book shelf after finishing it. To keep the book after reading, add it to your book collection, and gaze upon it and dream of what adventures it holds inside its pages.

Paper is just not the same as digital, even though the content itself can be the same. Reading a paper magazine is the act of eating ice cream out of a truck - not just eating straight from your freezer.

And all my many years of reading about homes and their decor and their paint colors and swatches to match, while flipping the pages, in magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Better Homes & Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Day, Martha Stewart Living, Coastal Living, and Southern Living - studying home layouts, and countless before and after images - all of that does not compare one bit to seeing one of those described and written about and photographed homes - in person.

It was a simple outing. About just over an hour from home. $22.00 per person. But it was a dream. Realized.

Pulling up to the Idea House, walking in, and opening the door to be wowed by the visualization, was a real dream - come true.

The home was stunning. It did truly WOW me. Visually, the exterior was very natural, and seemed to camouflage into its surroundings. In fact, we walked out onto the slip to view the home from afar, and while the trees covered most of the homes vantage point from that angle all the way out on the water, I knew the home was right there, mostly nestled in and blended into its natural surroundings.

Living in Florida for a few years now, I couldn’t help but notice right away how high the water already was, and how very close to the home the water was sitting. If a hurricane came through, I do fear for the Idea House in that situation. New or not. Quality construction, or not. Newest building codes and hurricane proof windows, etc. etc. notwithstanding. I’ve now lived through a few hurricanes in the south, and that’s more than I ever want to. And all the building codes and 200 mile per hour wind proof this or that, doesn’t really matter to me - once one is bearing down on us. It’s a feeling of doom and gloom, either way, so I honestly didn’t care about how strong the house was, and therefore, didn't pay much attention to those features of the home… I only knew if a hurricane was heading its way, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near its location, baby steps from already high and some choppy waters that day.

But regardless of the homes strength and quality construction, it was a fabulous set up. The home has a lot of stairs, so it’s definitely not for someone who doesn’t like a lot of exercise while hanging out at home. We entered through the foyer stepping directly into the great room - the main living room of the home. To the left is the master bedroom, residing on the same main level. With wrap-around patios and porches all facing the water... Every direction there was water - there was an outdoor porch for viewing and contemplation.

To the right is the kitchen and dining room as well as a massive beast of a laundry room. The laundry facility was so big, to me, it might as well be laundry for a large-scale hotel operation. Almost unimaginable to me, but at the same time, I loved every inch of that room. I do a LOT of laundry, and I actually think that room may have been my favorite part of the Idea House.
Picture
Picture
There are two set of stairs to second floor sleeping and more living areas - each set of stairs and second story does not connect to the other set of stairs or second level in any way. This leaves two very separate living and sleeping areas from each other. We were told it was set that way so one of the upper areas could be utilized as an in-law living arrangement, complete with its own bathroom, and slightly separated from the remainder of the home.

All of it, the entire home, was quite a set up. Not for me though, ha - much too big. Much too much to keep clean. Just the act of vacuuming all the sets of stairs would probably take me half a day. But of course, someone who can afford all that, can probably afford to hire a housekeeper to keep all of that very clean for them... I heard many people commenting while touring the home. Laugh out loud… I can’t even imagine such a life living in this enormous house.

And while my brain and imagination do have major difficulties visualizing and understanding the cost that goes into this home, its purchase, and its deep maintenance costs living directly next to salty waters and salty air, my brain very much aimed right into the decor.

I really enjoy seeing how a home is decorated, if merely to take some of those ideas, put them into puzzle pieces in the back of my brain, close that lid on that puzzle, and keep them ready for a rainy day. Pinterest in my brain. I’ll then take those ideas out of my brain closet and see how I can work something unique into my own decor. At some later date and well into the future, something will spark a memory, and two puzzle pieces will fit together into a fabulous project for me to complete on my own.

I loved all the holly/berry for the holidays mixed in with their everyday decor. And I was definitely inspired to find some holly of my own. I’m assuming I can find some quite inexpensively, as I have in the past, and make my own small swags for Christmas time to enjoy.

I was inspired by the wallpaper that was hand-etched into backsplashes and as a main accent wall feature. What a neat and modern twist to the old and very messy wallpapers of the past.

I loved the furniture and its placement throughout. Complete feng shui to my brain. Rooms set up to flow together, but defined and separate as well.

I absolutely adored the gingerbread house little accents acting as place settings on the dining room table. I’ve already put that idea directly into the back of my brain for a future project.

I loved basically everything about the home, really. I must say the only real thing I didn’t like about the concept, was of how much such a home and lifestyle would cost someone. That cost is really the only thing that I couldn’t shove into my brain, and wouldn’t want to, and definitely wouldn’t want to take home with me. But I adored everything else about the home.

PROS AND CONS ~~ OF THE EXPERIENCE ITSELF

While everything and them some I mentioned above was a pro, and the cost alone is the big and obvious con to me, I wanted to detail for you some features of the experience itself, in case you want to put the Southern Living Idea House tour onto your to-do list for a future outing, or even ahead to a future years Idea House. You’ll have some details on what to expect about the day itself.

And since any time I’m doing pro and cons I’m a fan of ending on a positive note if at all possible, I’m going to start here with my cons, and I’ll end with my pros:

CONS ~

***NON-TRANSFERRABLE - AND NO REFUNDS***
Rain or shine, your ticket is good only for the day purchased. Non-transferable, if you can’t come that day, there is no transfer or refund available. And earlier this week we had sort of a minor emergency in our household, so we both thought we were going to be out of luck and not get to go to the Idea House on our ticketed date - and we were definitely saddened by that. But alas, God answered my countless prayers this week to end our emergency, and the situation did end up working itself out, all was right in our world, and we could attend this weekend as originally planned. Just know, if you purchase tickets - no transfers - and no refunds.

***NOTE THE STAIRS - AND LACK OF RESTROOMS AVAILABLE FOR THE TOURING PUBLIC***
While I previously stated the cost didn’t break the bank, and I justified the cost in my mind… also in my mind, when someone pays $22.00 per person for something, I basically expected and assumed they would have a restroom available. And I was definitely not the only one under that assumption. Countless times I heard people asking where the restroom was. We traveled by auto ferry across the river, and hopped from island to island, drove over an hour in the car, onto Amelia Island and then onto the smaller Crane Island for this outing. And I’m sure others came from afar as well. I have an extremely healthy lifestyle now, and drink a lot of water, on the regular. When you pay for something like this, they really need to have a bathroom available to the public. And if there wasn’t going to be one, they should have mentioned it in the ticket specifications. I do read the fine print. It wasn’t there.

There were also a lot of older people at the event and I could tell the stairs were a challenge for them. If you’re going, plan for lack of restrooms and lots and lots of stairs. I’m not afraid to ask, so myself and many others had to line up and use the ‘unavailable’ and formal bow-tied toilet during the outing. So expect lack of facilities, or going where you technically aren't supposed to be going. With a whopping 5.5 bathrooms in the house, and charging what they do to get all the way out onto the sparsely populated island upon island, plus the lack of public facilities on Crane Island itself, they really need to have a facility available for the touring public. Note - I did share these opinions in my feedback survey they asked me to complete.

PROS ~

***COST***
At $22.00 per person, I do consider the cost reasonable. I easily could have seen them charging roughly $40.00 per person, and getting away with it, before it became an unreasonably expensive outing for what you are paying for. And $22.00 is not cheap by any means, but at that price, I was able to really have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, share that experience with my hubby, soak in all of this beauty, and not break the bank too much.

***AVAILABILITY***
The Southern Living Idea House is open and available to the public for a few months. Basically autumn through about mid-December. There are still tickets available, and many date options to choose from as well. The last available ticket purchase date on Eventbrite is for December 15th, 2019. If you are in the area, or this is something you are very interested in attending, I highly recommend going online now and buying you tickets… only a few weeks left! Plus, they were taking cash at the door, for anybody who just stumbled upon the place, or operates in last-minute mode. And cash at the door, I’m assuming, will alleviate the small fees charged by Eventbrite for booking, as well.

***HOLIDAY DECORATIONS***
While the Idea House has been open for a few months, earlier this week there was another Grand Opening of the home - in its new holiday attire. The Idea House being decorated for Christmas in the South intrigued me immensely. As soon as I knew there was to be decor for the upcoming holidays, I knew I wanted to book my ticket for after that second grand opening so we could see the home decorated. And it was definitely worth it.

And while none of the frosted, sprinkled, and decorated sugar cookies put out on display throughout the home were for us to eat (yes, they did make a point of telling us that much) the event itself can’t help but get someone in the holiday spirit. Plus, I really can’t wait much longer now in anticipation of baking my own Christmas cookies.

Yes, there’s definitely something a bit extra special during the holidays, anywhere you go. And the holiday decor was in each and every room of the house, including the food pantry - which was stocked with peppermints, cookies, and Santa tins. You just can’t miss the holiday spirit when something is decked out in its finest of apparel.
Picture
All in all, it was one fabulous outing. It was a 100% Michelle Tanner eating ice cream directly out of the ice cream truck type of outing for me. One that I’m thrilled I was in the vicinity and location to attend for the first time in my life. I probably wouldn’t do it again though - as I’d probably spend my next $22.00 per person on something completely different altogether. But it was worth it - it was worth the travel and the cost to attend. I do very much highly recommend going if the opportunity presents itself. And if you can’t make it to this years event, watch and read Southern Living Magazine in anticipation for their 2020 location.

Yes, It’s definitely good to eat ice cream directly from an ice cream truck once in a while. After all, not all ice cream is created equal.

I now challenge y’all to get out there and do something similar - whether it’s something small like a delicious ice cream cone from an ice cream shop you don’t normally frequent, or something as big as seeing an IDEA House, or bigger - but either way, get out there and do something that your eyes have only ever seen in print, only gazed upon while flipping through the pages of a book or magazine. Get out there and feast your eyes on something beautiful - in real life. ~

#22) ~ Saturday On San Pablo Island ~

Picture
Within “The Beaches” area, as it's commonly known to both locals and tourists alike, reside the small towns of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach - and the town I now call my home - Jacksonville Beach. These three communities, along with a few more small towns, make up the modest coastal barrier island, that is both officially and unofficially, known as San Pablo Island.
Picture
San Pablo Island is located just off the eastern coast of Florida, and nestled next to the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The name of the island itself here is not known to most people… they tend to simply call home - The Beaches. And there’s yet even one other mysterious nickname given to our island home appropriately classifying it as ‘No-Name Island’ - very much reminding me of the funky, quirky, and strange and sometimes hilarious, names of some of the famous Key islands to our south.

But San Pablo Island has a rich and dated history going back hundreds of years, and even much, much longer. A vibrant Native American history lives and breathes here, and the Timucuan Indians lived here in the 1500’s, when a French explorer came upon the area. We now have the Timucuan Reserve named after them.

And while there’s a small and extremely old, weathered and worn, and really just a completely dilapidated sign welcoming you as much as you drive through our town - ‘You Are Now At San Pablo Beach’ it reads, (named after the San Pablo River)... I can only imagine how old that sign really is. And as the sign is so very old and worn, it seems to just camouflage itself to the natural grasses surrounding it. Many pass by daily not even seeing it.

We also locally have San Pablo Road, just off the Island and paralleling the intracoastal, and we have Pablo Avenue, right here at the beach.

A lot goes into a name… when you consider branding, logo, tourism, marketing, publicity, hotels and restaurants and newspapers and any press; history, town pride, changing times and culture, refrigerator magnets, tee-shirts, trinkets and treasures for visitors to take home, etc. Some years ago there was a push and really quite a major effort to help rebrand our area to more “officially” be called San Pablo Island. Hotels and the tourism industry in general liked the idea and I believe they still do. A name helps classify a location and familiarize those traversing to or through. A name slightly broad and confusing as “The Beaches” - plural - is not very brand-worthy it seems, except to those who already know the area and/or reside here.

And as those things tend to do, the effort and move to name-change seemed to stall, and fall apart in meetings and such. As many of those such changes and requests for changes tend to die out... Thus, today, we are still known as “The Beaches” to most, and confusion reigns for the tourism industry here.

In comparison, Amelia Island, located just to the north of us, is known as that - ‘Amelia Island.’ They seem to know their history, are ok with picking a name and staying with it, and they honor it well.

Princess Amelia, daughter of George II of Great Britain, is for whom the Island is named. But Amelia Island has a very rich and fascinating history as well, and they seem to be slightly more proud of it and they do a great job in educating the public of that history.

You absolutely cannot visit Amelia Island without learning upon arrival of the history of the eight flags. Signs will tell you as much and show you as much upon entry to the island. With my father being a huge history buff, I remember thinking at the time of learning about the eight flags that he would find it fascinating.

Amelia Island is famously known as “The Isle of Eight Flags” and is the only location in all of the United States with such a unique history. It simply means that the island has had power transferred through eight different flags before finally obtaining its current and official status as part of these United States. The history of the eight flags is known and proud on the island. When I first found that piece of information out I was utterly fascinated. And standing in great contrast is the tiny old and worn sign welcoming you to San Pablo Beach, here on San Pablo Island. It’s a welcome sign that really seems to get no care or concern, but it does its job every day and welcomes you to our island.
Picture
Pablo Avenue lies just a few blocks from our worn and ancient welcome sign, and its therein that lies The Beaches Museum. A Museum that celebrates Culture, History, and Community. And while our dated welcome sign doesn’t have much appeal, the Beaches Museum does. The history of this area is not very well-known to most, and this museum does an absolutely fabulous job of educating the public on our heritage and historical facts thereof. This historical marker and living piece of history is also a place most people drive past every day, and may not even know if its existence. In fact, I’ve lived right here in town just alongside it and had never visited it formally. Well, bring an Art Fest into town and I’ll go anywhere.
Picture
Hurray! Another Art Fest. And on yet another absolutely gorgeous autumn day in the South. All the variety of arts and celebration thereof here is actually one of the reasons I fell in love with Jax Beach.

This past weekend, The Beaches Museum hosted the 6th Annual Beaches Art Fest. It was a must-do for me. And while I had just recently attended the Jax Beach Vintage Flea Market some weeks ago, I had eagerly awaited this event all year as well.

This fest to me, supersedes any other fest around. The art on display is full of passion and color and depth. Every booth has the artist directly on hand to talk with as well which I especially love. And now, after being to many of these events, I’m recognizing names of artists that continue to come back and sell there each year.
Picture
Picture
I really enjoy how merely slowing strolling from one covered outdoor exhibit to the next that the eye immediately catches the difference in an artist's passion. One may specialize or have a passion for florals, and one may enjoy painting the many unique sunrise and sunsets of the coastal region. One booth was composed of entirely Japanese floral paintings. An artist may have blown glass, and one of the final tents I arrived at had on display works of art made entirely from origami paper. There were necklaces all beautifully arranged with tiny and intricately folded colored papers, making flowers, squares, any shape you could imagine, all folded out on her display table. Everyone, who once they understood what they were looking at, was completely wowed by it. It was a definite surprise to see, as I had never seen anything like it in my life, and it is for those reasons I relish with joy attending these fests each time they come around.
Picture
Picture
And I must admit I regret extremely not purchasing one of her paper origami necklaces. I also failed to obtain her card, thus, not being able to look up where she will be next. She explained the necklace I had my eyes on was only $29.00 and comes with a beautiful chain as well. A chain of length that I could custom choose. I walked on by, to think about it, and instead purchased a ring that I absolutely adore, from La Soucique Studio, of the aforementioned Amelia Island. It was $35.00 and I was so very pleased with my purchase. I know I can’t buy everything, and I reminded myself that money doesn’t grow on trees, but I do really very much regret not purchasing one of the origami necklaces. I can only hope to see her again at a future arts event and make that my purchase for the day.
Picture
While slowly we strolled both up and down San Pablo Street taking in the fest in its entirety, we also walked on through the property and grounds of Beaches Museum. It’s set up as a small historic village, spanning the length of the blocks next to the fest.
Picture
And as I had never been previously, I thought it an ideal day to check it out since we were already present literally at its location. Supposedly the museum is open 10am-4pm every Saturday, with free admission. We were somewhat disappointed to find many locked buildings. All we could do was take a quick peek inside most of the historic sites through windows, while the main building remained open and available to use the restroom facilities for fest-goers. We very much enjoyed walking the grounds though, and it was a most perfect autumn day in Florida to witness the natural beauty surrounding the facilities. The museum is home to parties, weddings, art exhibitions, the annual famous Polar Express, and many other such fun events for both adults and children alike. It seems The Beaches Museum has something going on year-round. I just highly recommend calling ahead to verify if you’d like to see the actual inside of some of the buildings.
It was an altogether ideal day in the South for me. And afterward, we ate breakfast, for lunch, at Beach Diner in Atlantic Beach. Every time I’ve been there the owner comes over to say a sweet hello. A much older man, whom you can tell genuinely loves his customers, stopped to talk with us as we ate our delicious meal. As we were paying up at the cash register on the way out I could see him still going round from table to table, smiling with and high-fiving each person he met. A most lovely Saturday on my very own Island… San Pablo Island. It made me smile as we walked to our car. ~
