Shopping

The WaterColor Community Association will host the 9th Annual Art in the Park on Mar. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in WaterColor's Cerulean Park and Town Center.

Stellar weather is a tradition at Art in the Park and WaterColor provides a perfect setting for the one-day event during the most beautiful time of year. Artists display their works throughout one of South Walton's most beautiful landscapes filled with butterfly gardens, trees, walking paths and fountains. 

You and your four-legged friends are invited to come to the Shops of Grayton on March 1 and be a part of history. Dog Daze is a fundraiser for Alaqua Animal Refuge and for $50 you can have a professional artist help you add your pup's portrait to the "New Dogs of Grayton" wall of canine fame.

The holiday shopping season is upon us, and whether you're looking for a gift for your wife, girl friend, best friend, sister, or mother - shopping for "her" can be tricky. The place to go is Sirens at the Beach, a beautiful lingerie, loungewear, and sleepwear shop in Grayton Beach, stocked with great gifts for her.
 

Brett Martin, woodcrafter and owner of Made on 30A, grew up tinkering and building stuff in Georgia. He’s still building stuff, but on a much grander scale. The smell of fresh-cut wood permeates the air as Martin surveys his current workshop located on Hwy. 393 South. He speaks enthusiastically about his work and how he came to be here.

Having worked in the screen printing and embroidery business in Georgia for 20 years, he sold that business to move here with his family in 2007. The change in scenery necessitated a change in jobs.
