That Crystal Place

This weeks sponsor is That Crystal Place which is a locally owned shop in our very own downtown beach street right next door to Boho Society and the Cigar Shoppe.

They have everything you need when it comes to crystals, whether you just want some pieces for aesthetics alone, or to bring some new energy into your life. Next time you are out and about stop in and say hi!

And if you want to shop online, checkout a link to their shop by clicking here.

Also be sure to check them out on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates!

Top Sold Home

This weeks top sold home is a brand new home built in the Massey Ranch Air Park, so you can fly into your own home and park in your hangar. Pretty cool to have another community that is similar to the Spruce Creek Fly-In.

The home was sold in less than two months for $1.34M which is very quick considering the price. But what do you think about living in a fly-in community?

This is one of the favorite sections of the newsletter. Every week I receive pet photo submissions and have to pick a winner and it’s not easy. Send in your photos (by replying to this email) for a chance to have your pet featured next week!

This week we have Ammo the husky, who if you can’t tell likes sleeping with a certain kind of posture. He loves to sleep and kick his leg up to stay cool. If you have a husky does yours do this too?
