Scarves, Souvenirs and Sunsets!

Do the colours of the elements in "Nature" influence your choices when you are shopping?

The other day on a quick shopping trip ... the colours in this scarf caught my eye just as the muted, shimmering shades of blues & taupes in the "Sunset", the soft whites of the Ocean waves and the beige sandy beach.

When I wear this scarf it will remind me of our time spent in Panama City Beach and our nightly views of the beautiful sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico... a great souvenir with a useful purpose!

What influences and inspires your choices ... whether it is something for you to wear personally or changing the decor in your home? 

A Road Trip

#Panhandle#Panama City Beach #Florida#RumRunnersUSA#Bruce#PoncedeLeon#Alabama#GulfofMexico

Escaping Southwestern Ontario's winter took us on a long road trip travelling southwest thru the USA to the Florida Panhandle.

Our travels took us a different route and thru several areas of the U.S.A that were new to us.

Even a tiny village named "Bruce" ... that is our family name ...( located about a half hour from Panama City Beach )

 ... which had it had it's own Cafe and General Store. 

After two and a half days on the road ... We arrived at our intended destination to cloudy skies.

We located our condo on the Front Beach Road, we were too early for checkin so we oriented ourselves with the immediate area.

We enjoyed some light fare and refreshments at Rum Runners (at Pier Park more about this in another post)  before doing a quick grocery pickup and checking in to the condo.

The views from our condo ...

                  

A new place to discover ... 

I think we will find enough to keep us busy even if it is just long walks along the beach on the soft white sand.
