NOTE: DUE TO FRIDAY’S RAINY WEATHER, Sassy’s trunk show has been moved to Saturday & Sunday, November 2nd & 3rd.
Connie Snellgrove, aka ‘Sassy, is back again for her ever-popular 2-day Trunk Show on November 1st and 2nd. The Blue Giraffe is incredibly proud to exclusively represent Sassy Jewels on 30A!
Sassy is a local artist with a heart as beautiful as her creations. Her use of nature’s colors … a sparkle of sun on azure waters, sunsets, delicate flowers, silver sea life, sea oats, sand and driftwood … give a natural and real life to her unique jewelry designs.
Inspired by the beauty of our beaches and faith in God’s grace, Connie has created the most exquisite coastal jewelry on 30A! Each piece is personally designed and handcrafted using sterling silver and other metals mixed with precious gemstones such as aquamarine, coral, freshwater pearls, sea glass, and Keshi pearls.
We’re expecting perfect fall weather November 1st & 2nd. Please join us at our gallery and see all the new designs in Connie’s beautiful collection! Saturday & Sunday, November 2nd & 3rd from 10:00 – 5:00.

Have you ever been fascinated by a work of art and wondered … “How did they do that? I wish I could do that!” Have you ever looked out across Western Lake or one of the beaches along 30A and thought … “Gosh, I wish I could paint that scene!” If so, it’s never too late to learn where to start.
Local 30A artist, Aaron Sutton has developed a very simple method to help you enjoy painting and take out most of the guesswork. Once you have spent one afternoon with Aaron, you will not only return home with your very own original painting, but also a “recipe” that you can use to enjoy creating artwork for years.
“Once I discovered this method for myself, I truly began to enjoy painting. It removed stress and allowed me to be creative with the paint.”
Aaron, who is both red/green and blue/violet colorblind, believes that anyone can enjoy painting with his simple method. Even with severe colorblindness, using this technique, Aaron can paint just about anything you put in front of him.
Contact the gallery today to sign up for the next painting adventure with Aaron. You don’t need to bring anything but a positive attitude, water and sunscreen! Most of the classes will be Thursday afternoons from 2:00 – 5:00. Cost is $200 per person, paid in full at time of sign-up. For more details and to sign-up, call The Blue Giraffe at 850.231.5112.
