Pet Personalities & Football Weekends, Perfectly Beaded
Frill Seekers Gifts and Personalized Fabulous Finds
The end of summer may feel early for holiday shopping, but personalized gifts require a little extra time—and Frill Seekers Gifts has a memorable option for the pet lovers on your list.
The Beaded Pet Coin Purse transforms a favorite pet photo into a hand-beaded keepsake. Dogs, cats, horses and even bearded dragons have been featured! Mother-daughter co-founders Heidi and Peyton LoCicero and their team help customers select the bag and bead colors, add the pet’s name in contrasting hues and create a custom accessory designed to spark conversation.
Choose from coin purses, wristlets or clutch handbags. For football weekends, shop clear stadium bags, beaded purse straps, game-day coin purses customized with a name and school colors, and football-themed entertaining pieces.
Because personalized and hand-beaded creations take time—game-day coin purses require approximately three to four weeks. So, order now. Free gift wrapping is available in-store.
Mon.–Fri., 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sat., 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

The Perfect Place for Your Next Chapter Might Be Closer Than You Think
Be On The Coast™ Real Estate Group
Brian K. Locicero, REALTOR® | BeOnTheCoast.com
Those of us who live here already know what makes Destin and the Emerald Coast special. The question isn’t always whether to move to the coast—it may be how to make coastal living fit your next stage of life.
Perhaps you’re ready to downsize, move closer to family, find a neighborhood that better suits your lifestyle or purchase an investment property. You may even be searching for a nearby home for parents who are ready to retire where the rest of the family already lives.
The qualities locals enjoy every day also make this area appealing for the long term: a mild climate that encourages outdoor living, access to local physicians and regional hospitals, convenient airports for visiting family, and year-round community events and activities. Florida also has no state income tax on Social Security benefits, pensions or 401(k) income.
Whether your next move takes you across town, into a neighboring community or simply closer to the lifestyle you want, Brian Locicero can help you find the property and neighborhood that feel like the right fit.
