Local Artistry Cocoa Beach Florida

Well, I just got back from a week’s vacation in Florida. 

 I had a wonderful time sightseeing and visiting with family 
(I have a brother that has wintered near Lake Okeechobee 
for many years). 

"This was my first time to see the Atlantic Ocean!"

Village Beach House located in Historic Cocoa Village, FL

While touring the historic Cocoa Village I came upon this very bright and happy shop filled with wonderful handcrafted objects from local artists.  The owner was warm and friendly and when I asked if I could take photos to share on my blog he was happy to oblige.  There was so much to see.   Here are a few photos of some unique items.   The owners of the shop are Jon & Shelly and you can find them at http://villagebeachhouse.com

I recommend their shop as a must-see 
if you are ever near 

Cocoa Beach, Florida

Water Bottle Holders.
What a great idea for using old jeans.  

These would make wonderful gifts.

These purses were so unique with their belts, doilies, buttons and beads.  I love the gathered straps too.

Notice the picture frame, just right of the purses.  

Pretty cool, don't you think?

These wind chimes were made of dyed oyster shells and driftwood.

They are so beautiful and they have a 

very soothing serene sound to them.

I fell in love with these adorable dolls.  

How cute would they be for a baby shower gift?

This painted fish put a smile on my face.  Very Florida!

 A great chair for relaxing by the pool or lake. 
I hope you enjoyed touring this little shop with me. 
 Cocoa Village is a very delightful area full of quaint shops, beautifully restored buildings, bright happy colors all mixed with palm trees and flower boxes flowing over with blooms and blossoms.  It's a place to stroll along and just breath in the atmosphere. 

 (all photos were taking by me, except the one of me, that was taken by Gladys Dale, my sister-in-law).
