He’s a rugged island explorer proudly hauling giant driftwood trophies off the beach. Next, he’s executing “The Smolder” like a true main character. (The Tangled Angle): Move over, Flynn Rider… Ambrosius has perfected “The Smolder” winking his way straight into your heart. I caught both on camera and we haven’t stopped laughing! This adventure reminded me of this Acrylic Painting I created 3 years ago of our pup staring into our back field!


Leaving a little light where local history meets the shore. We tucked this hand-lettered “LOVE” jar at the base of the statue today to brighten the path for anyone passing by. It takes just a few seconds to spread a little joy!

There is something peaceful about starting the day by the water, especially when you are leaving a small token of light behind for someone else to find. Today, we brought one of our hand-painted “LOVE” jars filled with polished stones down to the beach, nestling it right where the sea breeze meets the coastal grass.
Tied off with vibrant yellow fabric and a white ribbon, it stands out like a little splash of sunshine against the water. The goal is simple: to give whoever stumbles across it a momentary reminder that they are seen, valued, and surrounded by beauty.
Keep your eyes open along the coast—you never know what little treasures are waiting to brighten your path!
