Stuart Life

Ask homebuyers what the ideal location is for purchasing a property and they will likely focus in on the view—ocean, river, mountain, park, garden, cityscape. However, the ideal location must account for much more, as it can have many implications for quality of life and a home’s future value.

As you venture into the pristine Treasure Coast waters, prepare yourself for the catch. It will happen—but only first with one of the most crucial components: the bait.

I realized that I had a love for antique jewelry when I was probably, I want to say, 8 or 9 years old. There was an antique jeweler in Maine, her name was Mrs. Ivers, she had cotton blue candy hair, and she was an old-school Mainer. She was an antique collector/dealer and she gave me my first piece of jewelry, which was a wedding band, weirdly enough.
