Wildfire Jewellery and Gifts

If you are looking for the perfect gift for a special someone this Valentine’s Day then you don’t have to look further than our very own beaches here on the Island. Wildfire Jewellery and Gifts based out of Souris has beautiful sea glass necklaces and earrings in enough colours, shapes and sizes to suite every person. Pricing depends on the size of the pendant and the rarity of the colour.

Our favorite part? If there is no pendant in the size or colour that you would prefer you can simply email the shop with exactly what you are looking for and they will contact you when a piece of glass is found that meets your specifications. Remember, patience is a virtue and it will be well worth the wait to have that perfect necklace that you will cherish for years.

The Lebedevs go seal watching

The Lebedevs ended their summer 2012 with a boat tour with Peakes Wharf Boat Tours! They headed out at 2:30 and sailed to Governor’s Island and saw a family of seals swimming. It was a gorgeous day, a great way to end the summer for the kids.

Fortunately for us grown-ups, we still have lots to do this fall. We wish all children heading back to school a safe and rewarding school year!

And you can always book next year’s summer vacation with us! :)
