I love receiving a handwritten note.  Even in this age of social media and texting (which I fully embrace), there is still nothing like receiving a note on beautiful paper.  Sheryl Sashin, tastemaker and owner of ARABESQUE OF NAPLES, is the consummate purveyor of exquisite paper — invitations, stationery, announcements, menus, programs, note cards, place cards, gift cards — with which to delight your friends.  Sheryl draws upon her 30 years of experience to guide you through an event from save-the-date to thank you notes, or can simply help you customize stationery.

Her latest line that I LOVE is this colorful engraved stationery by Alexa Pulitzer.  You can customize each part of it from color and design to fold-over or notecard.  You can even turn them into an announcement or holiday card.

Visit Sheryl or call to order them over the phone.  And TELL HER SCOUT SENT YOU!

A global trend has caught fire that offers outdoor enthusiasts an upgrade on rest and recreation. It’s called glamping, a new word for a new kind of travel, defined as glamorous camping. When you’re glamping, there’s no tent to pitch, no sleeping bag to unroll, no fire to build. Whether in a tent, airstream, hut, villa or treehouse, glamping is a way to experience the great outdoors without sacrificing luxury.

This summer head to one of MAD TRAVEL, INC.’S favorite destinations – The Resort at Paws Up.

The Resort at Paws Up is Montana’s premier luxury ranch resort situated on a sprawling 37,000-acre working cattle ranch in central, western Montana. What differentiates it from other Montana resorts is their commitment to giving you the most intimate, unfiltered connection with the natural beauty of Montana, while providing the most luxurious comfort possible.

The Resort at Paws Up is where families and couples make lasting memories. They call it The Last Best Place^TM. You’ll just call it unforgettable!

Anyone not from Florida would consider all seasons beach season here.  But for the locals THIS is beach season … the big crowds are elsewhere, the water is warm and we have a more time to enjoy it.  Here are a few of my favorite beach inspirations and local must-haves …

TICKLED PINK OF NAPLES has the cutest flip-flops and totes for the beach, or just lunch near the water.

Attract the sun’s rays … I love these rings because the links move making them flexible.  SHANNON GREEN COLLECTION
