St Augustine Archives : Pretty is

Starting at H. W. Davis, we began perusing through the shops on the iconic St George Street in ‘Old Town’ St Augustine.

This shop is filled with clothing and shoes, and features Brighton, Joseph Ribkoff, and Vera Bradley items. The window display always showcases something I’d love to have. If I’m lucky, I’ll get it for my birthday (hint).

Fresh Produce is a shop that does not offer fruit and veg, but you can find fun clothes and accessories for women and children, including this cute little bracelet that was only $15

Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry Co. offers a variety of items that have been handcrafted by artisans from around the world. In addition to clothing and jewelry, there are items for the home like these confetti glasses that are on my wish list

And I found this adorable ‘Lydia-sized’ dress

The Red Pineapple Boutique houses clothing, jewelry, and a variety of entertaining items.

You’ll find direction for your life in this little shop

April Fool’s Day is here… a day that conjures images of a court jester or some goofball with a woopee cushion. Whether you’ve been the victim of an April Fool’s Day Jokester or you prefer to hide in the house till it’s over, you’re likely to witness some bit of foolishness in honor of the day.

There is no question that I won’t be hiding in the house today… it is a beautiful Saturday. The high today is 77 and slightly breezy. LB and I have decided to spend the weekend in St Augustine… one of our go-to places that is always bustling with tourists. From home it is only a 30 minute drive, it is an easy day trip if you’re looking to get away.

In addition to the shops, there are other sites such as the oldest schoolhouse

restaurants

and street entertainers, like this guy dressed as a fortune-teller ‘juggling’ a crystal ball

Spending the day in St Augustine means ending the day at the San Sebastian Winery. The Cellar Upstairs is a favorite place for Saturday night as there is always great entertainment and excellent food. I love the wedge salad and order it every time.
