my first love is and always will be seaside
however my latest crush
is rosemary beach
gorgeous rosemary beach
with a completely different vibe than seaside
where seaside is casual and picket fences
rosemary is sophisticated and serene
seaside is charming and colorful
rosemary is subtle and neutral
the community is just a few miles down from seaside
so we frequented there several times this summer
took little bit & her rockin jcrew dress and jeweled headband
for a little photo shoot early one morning
while 3 teenage sisters slept in
the little town of rosemary is also the home of my favorite store
in the whole wide world
with their luxurious line of skin care & bath products
scrumptious soaps
divine candles
i'm completely convinced Heaven has the same amazing aroma
crystal chandeliers
lovely music
& call me a weirdo, but honestly their restroom is gorgeous too!
& of course the apple
fell right beside the tree
caroline loves pish posh patchouli's almost as much as i do
good bye rosemary beach
until next year...
adorable photos, Paige! She is a doll and that dress is perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo shoot! I also love her dress!

ReplyDeleteYeah, so I'm going to need that dress!! Does it come in big girl sizes?!?!? Off to check it out. Looks like y'all had a great time. It makes me so excited for my beach trip next month! Too bad I won't be close to Patchoulis. That looks like a place I would love!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is absolutely adorable. Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Rosemary Beach and I also love Seaside. One year, we rented a house along the beach right in the middle of the two towns. It was heavenly and was my favorite place to vacation.
Seaside is so adorable with all the cottages and little shopping area that is very family friendly. We loved hanging out there. Rosemary Beach is exactly how you described it. I loved shopping and dining and day dreaming in Rosemary Beach.
Um...yeah! That is a seriously rockin' dress. Wonderful photos as always!!
ReplyDeleteShe is soooo cute! I love all the beaches there...from Destin down to Seaside!! soooo pretty! Hoping Ash & I get to come to the CL Fair in Atlanta...:)
ReplyDeleteOk, the dress is blue, then it's brown. How did you do that.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to look for a place in Florida and I will certainly check out Seaside and Rosemary Beach.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I read your story and have tears in my eyes. I am speechless. I am sorry for the pain you've experienced, thankful for the growth, grateful that God's Word has become so real, blessed that your Maker has seen you through and continues to bless you despite the storms you have gone through.

ReplyDeletePaige! I don't think there is anything I wouldn't like about those little towns. These pics of cmk are sooo cute. How do you ever decide which ones to display in your home! You're not so bad yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteshe is starting to look more and more grown up!! that store looks fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I love Seaside too, you know that, but that whole stretch of 30A
ReplyDeletewas amazing, going from little town to little town, each with their own personality and style! I want to be able to spend time in each one! Rosemary was beautiful, I have many photos from inside my car!!! I will have to take my time next time and stop into this gorgeous store, looks like it is right up my alley!!!!
And the dress, love it!!!!! She is such a cutie pie and a good sport at the same time!!!

ReplyDeleteMan what a doll!!!! She has a unique look and she also looks kind of like Lucy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious girl! I one had a home in Seagrove and spent many wonderful times there. Have you also seen Alyce(sp?) Beach further east up 30A from Rosemary Beach. Pure white architecture everywhere. *swoon*
