Gator Bites, Issue #049 - Photos, Pizza, and Soap! October 09, 2015 |
Hi Photos, Pizza, and Soap!Yay, our weather is heading down to degrees in the 80's! There's been a few breaks in the humidity and I've actually turned off the AC and opened the windows for a bit already. In this issue, I review several restaurants .... there are so many new ones opening up in Cape Coral! And, I built a page about my latest venture ..... For those of you who've been reading Gator Bites for awhile, you've seen me go from job to job in the last few years. It's been hard to transition from stay-at-home homeschooling mom to a member of the workforce here in SWFL. Low pay, distance, seasonality, crazy hours, age, and lack of experience are some of the issues I've faced. So, I've decided to resurrect a business I'd previously had in Connecticut with my deceased husband. We'd had a successful painted furniture business .... he built me gorgeous furniture out of old barn wood and I painted it. We did well with our furniture, which combined a shabby chic, distressed look with delicate hand-painted flowers. I'm doing something similar, but throwing in Florida-style touches for a coastal cottage, vintage look! I'm also going to sell my own hand-made beauty products. Keep reading ..... ....... but first, I finally revamped my Cape Coral Photos page and added more art photo pages: Captiva Photos
Coastal Island Creations is my new business ....... you'll find beautiful pieces of furniture using chalk paint or hand-rubbed techniques, glued on shells, and hand-painted flowers.
Lather up, scrub down, and butter yourself up with Florida-type ingredients such as coconut oil, mango butter, avocado butter, and sea salt. Beauty never looked and smelled so good ....... citrus, tropical florals, and sea breezy scents take you to the sun, sand, and surf. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I do!
Pizza Bella serves yummy pizza and Italian favorites out on Matlacha Island.
Nice Guys Pizza is a fun hipster bar and restaurant on Cape Coral Pkwy, serving pizza, sandwiches, wings, and unique beers.
Cork Soakers draws crowds young and old with really great food tapas-style, with wine bar and live music, at the old Twisted Conch.

Several of my Come-to-Cape-Coral readers have used him, and he's been able to find them homes too. Archer Airboat Tours offers airboat tours out of Matlacha. You haven't really been to Florida until you've gone airboating, it's so much fun! Bayview Bed and Breakfast is a delightful waterfront inn on the Cape Coral side of Matlacha. Relax, enjoy nature, go canoeing and kayaking, and check out area boutiques and galleries.
