Welcome Home

Are you redoing a rental condo? Moving into a new home? Or simply in need of a fresh new look for a tired room in your home? Or how about that apartment you’re renting; does it need a few things that belong to you, so it looks like “your place”? Well, Cayman people, the most fabulous store has opened at Governor’s Square- “Welcome Home”. Walk in the door and you’ll swear you’re in San Fran, DC or Miami; the store is extremely chic and beautiful. The shocking surprise is the price of the merchandise:very, very reasonable. I had to actually look twice at some of the price tags because I could not believe my eyes. The Welcome Home concept is “High Style at Affordable Prices”. The good news is, the inventory changes constantly, and the store is already very popular, so you won’t be seeing the same things over and over again.  The art and decor items are purchased in very small quantities, so chances are you won’t be seeing something you purchased for your home in the home of someone else.  There will be elegant and stylish events like ‘Black Tie Christmas”, where the store will be decorated in Black, Silver and Red.

Chairs

The inventory is an appealing mixture of casual-chic and elegance. Lots gleaming polished aluminum candlesticks, unusual mirrors, picture frames, and no-tarnish serving pieces. There are lovely silk orchids and other silk plants. The furniture is beautiful: chairs and tables that fuse traditional style with contemporary finishes and upholstery. There are exceptionally pretty toss pillows, super gorgeous glass candle holders, and a trio of over-sized pillar candle holders in polished aluminum that you might want to rush in and buy soon, because I have my eye on them!

Decor

Welcome Home is the place to go for gifts. There are many small items that would make anyone feel better, so if someone needs a lift during this gloomy rainy season, pop over to Welcome Home and pick up a treasure to cheer them up. Anne Roberts or Susan Abbott might be around to help, these two helpful gals are the sisters who brought “Welcome Home” to Cayman. (Susan is the well known marketing & retail person who owns the boutique “Just Add Water” here in Cayman.”)

Silks

I am getting ready to put a condo on the market, and I’m going to box up all our outdated kick-knacks and sweep in with some chic Welcome Home accessories. So you’d better get in there before my big shopping spree!

Welcome Home   10:00 AM-6:00 PM Monday-Saturday

I purchased some of these sausages at the Market at the Grounds, the local farmer’s market held here in the Cayman Islands. I was thinking they would be a good alternative to the supermarket variety. I had no idea that my family would go completely WILD for these amazing, gourmet, perfectly seasoned masterpieces.

David comes from a long line of butchers in Ireland. He moved to the Cayman Islands six years ago where he met the love of his life, Miss Jackie, and the rest is history. David worked for The Cracked Conch, The Westin Casuarina, Mezza, and The Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman. He had owned a restaurant prior to living in Cayman, and he wanted to be the captain of his own ship again. His dream was to produce his own locally made sausages.

Today, his dreams have become a reality. Caribo Sausages is a well-known brand in the Cayman Islands, and the company supplies many of the top restaurants here. However, they have an extremely loyal following with local households…like mine! The flavors are a fusion of global, European, Caribbean, and distinctly Caymanian.

Caribo’s extensive sausage menu includes choices such as Seafood, Pork/Cranberry-Stilton, Jerk Chicken, Hot Italian, Chorizo, Beef & Cheddar, Bratwurst, British Bangers, Jerk Pork, Korma Curry Chicken, Cuban Style Sausage, Lamb Merguez, and Hickory Smoked Maple Ham Steaks, and many more. If you like, you can choose a 3 pound “Selection Pack” and sample to your heart’s content!

David tests, samples, and researches every new product extensively before introducing it. (I will post any updates if he is hiring any “tasters”!)

Caribo’s delivers, too! Just give them a call to order your tray for home, office or beach party deliveries. They freeze beautifully. Minimum order: 6 lbs. Otherwise, Call 324-1207, or 946-1999 or visit them at The Grounds Market Place at The Stacey Watler Agricultural Pavilion in Savannah (at the Farmer’s market) Saturday’s 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM. If you get the chance, introduce yourself to David & Jackie and talk to them about how they make their product. They are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and you’ll be amazed at the dedication they have to their product. And if they are giving out samples, by all means, get your hands on one! De-lish!

Humane Society

Are you a cat or dog lover? GOOD! There are two ways you can help the super-duper hard working folks at the Cayman Islands Humane Society this weekend, with two different events to show your support.

The first neat opportunity to show your support is a signature charity event held at The Lighthouse Restaurant in Breakers on Saturday, September 19th, from noon until 2:00 PM. It’s a special cooking class with celebrity Chef Remy, and there will be several VIP celebrity guests. Hint…his Excellency Governor Stuart Jack! Indeed!

The Lighthouse

Upon arrival, nibble on excellent Canapes and Prosecco before being seated for a full four course lunch with wine. Enjoy spectacular views of the beautiful Caribbean Sea, hobnob with celebrity chefs, guests, and good hearted animal lovers, all for the amazingly reasonable price of only CI $70.00! And every penny goes to the Humane Society. I have spent some time at this tremendous organization, and I can tell you that $70.00 goes a long way. The volunteers save lives each and every day. They take strays and unwanted animals, care for them and love them, and they become cherished pets for hundreds of Cayman families. Enjoy a grand day afternoon at The Lighthouse for a great cause!

Please call 345-947-2047, and say your reservation is for the Celebrity Cooking Class. A credit card will be required for a reservation. Space is limited for 36 people-first come, first serve, so call soon. Maybe you’ll be chatting up the Governor at lunch!

The second event is the fun and irresistible Yappy Hour! Held annually at Coconut Joes, the it’s a chance to get your car washed, or your dogs washed, or both! Bring in your dirty dogs and cars, and get ‘em cleaned up while you kick back with an ice cold drink at the bar. There are even special doggy cakes for your pooches.

As always, this is a free event, but DONATIONS ARE WELCOME! All proceeds benefit the Cayman Islands Humane Society.

Car Wash: 10:00 AM-1:00 PM

Dog Wash: 2:00 PM-5:00 PM

Even if you don’t have a doggy, join the fun.  Bring a few bucks for the donation, and have a few cold ones; there are drink specials all day!

Please pick one of these event and support the Humane Society this weekend. See ya at Yappy Hour! I’ll be there with with Beano, the Toy Fox Terrier and Tiffy, the Maltese, our two rescued doggies!

Eric Jerome Dickey

On Wednesday, August 26th, eleven time New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey launched the publicity tour for his latest novel, Resurrecting Midnight, at Books & Books. The exciting event was packed with over one hundred adoring fans, which was not hard to understand once Eric took his place at the podium at Hollywood Theatres, where the wildly popular author held his book discussion. The demand to hear Eric speak about his book was so overwhelming that a larger venue to be arranged to accommodate the crowds! Eric is warm, friendly and very entertaining as a public speaker and he interacted frequently with his mostly-female audience. Dickey began his discussion by asking the audience which of his 12 novels they would most like to hear an excerpt from. One enthusiastic fan jumped up from her seat to offer her treasured copy of the The Other Woman. After reading a lengthy romantic passage from The Other Woman (amid many deep sighs from the audience) Dickey briefly introduced Resurrecting Midnight. He began his very first public reading of the new novel, which was released the previous day. What an honor for the Cayman Islands that he chose us! We were all enthralled as Eric offered a sneak peak into the steamy new thriller featuring sexy international assassins, Gideon and Arizona. Dickey then answered as many questions as he could before heading over to Books & Books for the book signing. More than 100 excited fans lined up and waited for their chance to meet the popular author, get a photo, and get their books signed. I watched Eric as he met dozens of his fans and he obviously enjoys this interaction; this is what makes him “tick”.

The event is yet another success in Books & Books Visiting International Author Series, sponsored by Sunshine Suites and Ogiers.

Spray Tan

We all know the risks of the harsh tropical sun, so we slather ourselves in SPF 45 every time we hit the beach to protect our skin, right? Sometime the gals with fair complexions can feel a bit pasty and white…especially being around so many lovely bronze Caribbean beauties here in the Cayman Islands! There is a safe alternative to baking in the Cayman sun: “Flawless Airbrush Tanning”.  Beyond Basics Medical Day Spa & Sun in The Shade have teamed up to offer this super-fab service, who’s motto is ”Skip the wrinkles, keep the tan!” (Don’t you love it?) It’s perfectly safe for your skin: it’s dermatologist tested, oil & fragrance free, has a lovely and very natural bronze color, without a hint of orange or streaks, and it will give you a tan that lasts 7-10 days.

How perfect for weddings, special occasions, holidays, special dates, a photo shoot, or anything that requires being in a bikini in public! (A tan will make you look thinner and also highlight muscles-ask any bodybuilder). Who even needs a reason? Getting an airbrush tan will make you feel beautiful for a week to ten days!

There is even a Special Introductory Package to get you started:

6 Full body tanning sessions & 3 products free (Medical grade Exfoliation wash + bronzer for face & body) + 50% off a CelluLift Lotion
