The Snappy Turtle and The Lillytini Cocktail

August 13th, 2009

This is a perfect cocktail to enjoy while savoring the last weeks of Summer….Slip on a cute Lilly Pulitzer dress and some comfy Jack Roger Sandals and let the fun begin…. Snappy Turtle, Harvey’s on First and The Love Shack are all owned by the same woman and are located in Delray Beach Florida. They are the the sweetest little boutique shops filled with happiness and treasures. The Snappy Turtle was established 28 years ago by Carol Harvey.I have been shopping at these charming boutiques for 23 years, since I first met my husband. It is so much fun to go in with my children (they have a children’s section)

Here is the lovely owner, Carol and her little baby.

I’m really liking the Gypsy Rose rug. They have household items, clothing, beauty, men’s, children’s, garden, gifts and many one of a kind items that make perfect gifts.

A fun Mariposa ice cream bucket. This would make a great house warming gift, wedding present or a fun accessory for your own home.
Look at these colors!! by Roberta Roller Rabbit. Which one would you pick?? I would choose a blue shade to go with the sky and ocean.
Lots and Lots of Jack Rogers. I’m usually wearing mine at our condo in Florida. They are not fancy but comfortable and classic.

Perfect for a little girl…how sweet!! by Roberta Roller Rabbit, how great is that name!!

This tray just makes me smile. Look at the fun martini glass handles. I have a collection of trays, I may have to add this to that collection!

Protect your beautiful skin from the sun’s harsh rays with this over the top hat.

I just ordered these..Until recently I had no idea Jack Rogers came in a higher wedge. I’m 5’4″ and I love flats, but sometimes I like to be a little bit taller.

Remember the episode on Sex and the City when SJP had to take off her Manolo’s and she said how tiny she was…then they were stolen. Well these shoes will give you height and cost a small fraction of a pair of Manolo’s.

The Lillytini:
There are probably a dozen ways to make a Lillytini and mine is probably not one of them. It just came about one evening when my girlfriend came over and We were trying on a bunch of Lilly clothes. I happened to have some French Lorina sparkling lemonade and some ice cold Vodka. We quickly made these cocktails and named them Lillytini’s!!
Lillytini Cocktail:
Rub the rim of a ice cold martini glass with a lemon and dip into yellow colored sanding sugar
Ice Cold good quality vodka. a jigger or so…I think this is two shots, depends on what you like!!
top off with Sparkling Lemonade, I use Lorina and Enjoy
Tomorrow We are getting ready for Happy Hour.. YAY!!
Sending lots of Happy Thoughts Your Way

    Great Post! I love any and all things Lilly, but I've never been to Florida! I would have to pick the Hot Pink Jack Rogers (preferably with the higher wedge- 5'2") Funny, I pictured you much taller!
    Have a happy day!
