Pull Up A Chair At Pinocchio’s; Nanny’s Summer Sale Is
On; Island Paws Has Your Dog Breed
Customers who already enjoy Pinocchio’s
Homemade Italian Ice Cream can now kick back and have ice cream or a cool drink
in comfort thanks to the new outdoor seating.
The owners have added brightly colored
Adirondack-style chairs and small tables to the covered deck, where earlier
this week the Wilson family from Dorsey, Illinois sampled their first taste
of the frozen dessert.
These chairs are comfortable,”
said 11-year-old Andrew.
His mother, Theresa Wilson, said
a friend who was on Sanibel two weeks ago told her Pinocchio’s was a must-visit
so they stopped during their bike ride for four ice creams.
Pinocchio’s and its sister store,
Gepetto’s Beach Foodies, are located at 362 Periwinkle Way on Sanibel’s east
end, phone 472-6566.
Show your love of the island by
sporting an I (HEART) Sanibel sticker on your vehicle. These decals are printed
in green to indicate that 70 percent of the island is conservation lands. When
you peel off the backing, underneath is information about Sanibel.
The stickers are available from
Bailey’s General Store, Jerry’s Foods, MacIntosh Books, Sanibel
Recreation Center, Suncatcher’s Dream and Tuttle’s Sea Horse
Shop.
Speaking of stickers, you can
also display your favorite dog breed on your vehicle. Choose from a huge selection
at Island Pawsthat proclaim, for example, My Cocker Spaniel (Loves) Sanibel
Island. Just about every popular dog breed is represented.
Also depicting dog breeds is a
collection of canvas totes. There are also large decorative signs – perhaps for
your deck, patio or bar – from the Top Dog Inn, where “beerhounds” of many stripes
are said to be welcome.
Island Paws may have a lot of
fun stuff, but the owners take proper nutrition very seriously and as a
customer, I know they research foods before they put them on the shelves. There
are many choices of cereal-free, organic foods for dogs and cats, many with
meats such as bison, venison, salmon and duck.
There is also a selection in the
freezer of raw foods, which are growing in popularity.
You’ll also find nutrition
supplements items such as glucosamine and chondroitin, which has worked wonders
on my 12-year-old dog’s creaky joints, and organic coconut oil for healing.
Instead of giving your dog drugs
for anxiety, try the Thunder Shirts that claim to help with fear of
noises, car rides, leash pulling and other issues.
Island Paws is in the Old House
Shops at 630, Tarpon Bay Road, Sanibel, phone 395-1464.
Nanny’s children’s boutique is
having its summer sale, offering 30 to 50 percent off this season’s
merchandise as the new fall collections start arriving. The
sale includes clothing, swimwear and shoes.
Hurry in, because owner Jan
Gabrielson is closing August 11 through September 7. And when
she returns, she has big plans for the old-style cottage
that houses the store.
I am turning one entire room
into a book room,” she said. “Also, I will have an infants’ boutique in the
back room.”
Meanwhile, there are lots of
cute children’s items in the store from ballet slippers to purses to T-shirts
and dresses, watches, sun hats and toddler’s swim shorts with built-in diaper.
