Julia Reilly blew into Tybee last weekend with her mom Nancy. She took over the island! Such fun seeing everything thru the eyes of a little child who’s only 21 months old. Her pure joy of the ocean, the beach, the big girl chair she got to sit on and of course the dogs. She adored Danny and Max and spent every possible minute with them. Crawling all over them, riding them like they were horses , best of all, “reading” books to them! Enjoy these pictures and hurry back Julia! Tybee misses you already!!!

Tybee is such a melting pot of talent. No one just does one thing and usually they do several things and do it very well! Marsha Henson is one such person. She paints, she runs a business, she plans international events, she travels! Best of all, you can be the recipient of several of her talents.
  • Her Art! In her on words…”The natural landscape and all elements therein have always drawn me like a magnet. I am equally amazed by a vast panorama or a one inch square of wilderness. The driving force behind my painting is combining different pieces of a landscape such as trees or flowers in a way that expresses my impression of them. This sometimes leads to a painting being similar to what I am observing or sometimes it looks more like my impression.
    The variations in habitat on the Georgia coast, particularly the islands, offer a fresh and always changing perspective and I get my best inspiration from simply looking out my back door…”
  • Her Business! Marsha and her best friend , partner and favorite guy Ronnie co-own and operate Sea Kayak Georgia. This wonderful kayak center is the Tybee headquarters for gear, trips, tours, instruction and even a place to stay ( The Outdoor Inn is right next door). Ronnie himself is multi talented and photographs the coast, water, wildlife.
  • World Events! Sea Kayak Georgia sponsors each year here on Tybee the Georgia Skills Symposium and British Canoe Union Week. You can learn from some of the best in the world skills from every level- you don’t have to be a pro to attend! The events kick off this weekend.

 

Marsha’s Art is currently on exhibit at Irene Sullivan’s Art Gallery in Downtown Tybee http://www.irenesullivangallery.com/ You can learn all about Sea Kayak Georgia and this upcoming week’s events on http://www.seakayakgeorgia.com/ Marsha and Ronnie are always available to answer questions and share their knowledge about the waters and this island they love so much.

From Canned Ham to La Petite Crevette

One of our favorite artists, Pam Martin, has done it again. Pam was here on Tybee this spring when Sisters on the Fly ( http://www.sistersonthefly.com/) were here for their regional spring conference with their 50 plus vintage trailers and decided she had to have one of her own. Pam is very single minded and darn if she didn’t accomplish her goal!! She found a vintage trailer in the South Georgia countryside and has turned this into a Pam Martin Orginal. A piece of art that travels no less! La Petite Crevette ( The Little Shrimp) went from being stuck in the 1960’s in the middle of a field to becoming bright and cheerful and full of fun and ready to be the life of the party no matter where she goes!
These pictures only slightly do her justice, but you can see her live and in person ( along with Pam who has to drive her here ) on Saturday Oct 18th from 10AM- 4PM at SeaSide Sisters Coastal Cottage Shop. We’re celebrating our shop’s 1st year Anniversary in great style and Pam and her “shrimp” will be the centerpiece of the party. Pam is bringing with her an entire trailer full of her art for the home, for holiday gifts, for yourself! Some pieces just created for the fall, some art no one else has seen yet and some of her old favorites. Be sure to come by and visit! www.seasidesisterstybee.com

Wow. You just never know what interesting person you’re going to talk to next! Late this summer, I took a reservation for one of our homes and I happened to notice her website on her email http://www.themusicfile.com/ When I asked Kayne about her business, it was just fascinating! She showcases all sorts of music, both music you know and music you have no clue about. She even offers a song of the day to make life easy for everyone.

Here’s the link and the music she posted on her site in honor of her Tybee long weekend stay with us. Enjoy and visit her site often.

As she quotes on her site : “Without music life would be a mistake.”-Nietzsche

During Daughter Katie ‘s visit, she practised one of her hobbies- cooking! The summer time is her traveling time and while she visits friends and family, her car is a traveling apartment as she moves from place to place with her cooking equipment, spices, whatever she needs to create cooking masterpieces. While she was here, we had Penny and Douglas for dinner and she made a great dish from a super website for finding receipes- really a social network that anyone can join and share , discover and even organize receipes! http://www.bigoven.com/ 

 

 

She made shrimp cakes with wild Georgia shrimp fresh off the boat docks. We all raved about how incredible these were! Enjoy the pictures and the receipe!
