Seeing Double
Twins are just fun, right? Loved seeing these beautiful ladies at the pizza place this week. Marieanne {right} and her husband are the town architects of Alys Beach responsible for all of the gorgeousness that is Alys, including the Caliza Pool. Sister Marina is an architect as well, currently serving as Director of Town Planning with Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. This family is oozing with talent. Their younger sister thrilled us by serving our pizza at her rehearsal dinner a couple of years ago at Alys. {P.S. Love the hat, Marieanne!}

Step into our...attic!
Want to make some extra cash? I was thrilled to learn about Ava's Attic owned by precious local Courtney Hood. They've been consigning furniture for some time and now they've added clothing and accessories. Courtney is one of those people you meet and instantly like. When I walked in this week, she and her mom greeted me with big smiles. It was great to see people shopping in their boutique full of new and gently used clothing.
Across the parking lot is their furniture showroom which boasted a farmhouse table that made me weak in the knees among other awesome finds like a large copper pot and tons of antique chairs. Ava's Attic is located in the Miramar Plaza in Destin {same shopping center as Tuesday Morning}. For the scoop on even bigger discounts they're offering right now, check out their Facebook page.

Locals in need
We wanted to make you aware of some local opportunities to give. At a time when most of us are struggling in some aspect, there is always a little reminder that we are more blessed than we might realize.
Heartworks Kids - This organization, headed by local Lauren Romano, is an "Acts of Kindness" non profit group that encourages children to give and receive from the heart. Parents are involved in the giving process, but the ideas and enthusiasm are generated by their children. Created in response to the kindness that was shown to families after 9/11, Heartworks helps by raising funds, clothing, food and other items for locals in need. Their upcoming "FUN-Raiser" is a pancake breakfast at Point Washington United Methodist Church on Saturday, February 13 from 8:00-11:00 a.m. You can enjoy a stack of hotcakes, sausage and juice for a $5 donation. Volunteers are also needed for this event. You can buy tickets on locals night at Pizza by the Sea Thursday, 2/4 and 2/11. To find out more or to join Heartworks, email infohwkids@gmail.com or visit their website.
Muscogee Nation of Florida- Located in Bruce {about 30 minutes from the beach}, this group represents approximately 500 households which includes 75+ at-risk children. This tribe is very poor and in desperate need of assistance. They are proud and willing to work, but many have lost their jobs recently and can't afford gas to travel to the beach to find day labor. The result is children whose only meal is a free lunch at school. Many of the families are now in danger of losing the power to their homes as they do not have the means to pay their electrical bills. Local Kate Johnson of Beach to Bayou is teaming up with Keith Flippo of Premier Property Group to raise money, food and supplies for these families. The list of items that are needed is below. If you wish to donate supplies or money, please drop off your items by Friday, January 29 to the Premier Property Group office in Seacrest or WaterColor. You can also make a donation by sending a check to: Ann Tucker, Muscogee Nation of Florida, 278 Church Road, Bruce, FL 32455. Please note on your check that it is for the Emergency Relief Fund.
ITEMS NEEDED:
Chicken & Dumplings
Beef Stew
Spaghetti Sauce
Tuna Fish
Fruit {applesauce and peaches}
Fruit Juice
