If you compare March 2013 to March of 2012, it went up 24%. Bottom line is that we are going in the right direction and the market has been noticeably more vibrant.

There are instances in our lives when it seems that destiny shines on us; the day I set out to visit Sassy Cakes, a gourmet cupcake shop in downtown Naples and interview its proprietor, Bayah Harrison, was one of those instances. Recently, The Wall Street Journal ran a story by journalists Emily Maltby and Sarah E.

A Perspective On Value
It’s the winter in Naples 1932 when a lone plane descends for a safe landing at the end of Fifth Avenue near the beach. “Lucky” Lindy and wife Ann have stopped by to pick up supplies for their Sanibel retreat from the few businesses that existed at Four Corners and maybe drop in to Club 41.

The scents of the variety of food fills the air, as small children with painted faces happily work around a table to produce their own works of art; some like the sounds of live music. Others find the many talented artists at the event or took on the adventure of riding a dragon boat.
Now celebrating its 6th year, the Hodges University Diversity Festival is made possible by many groups and individuals, such as Walmart, American Cancer Society, Azteca America, NAACP and other business org…
Following Footsteps features oil paintings from three generations of plein air painters. Artists have always gathered together in their studios, in cafés or other places to share ideas, discuss projects, help and learn from each other. The give and take of sharing often grows into life-long friendships with artists influencing and encouraging each other. Family members also encourage other members of their family to study and pursue art, but rarely do we see three generations of successful …
