How to Live on an Island
by Sandra Gingras 6 X 6 Full-Color Hardcover 55 Pages Item # IOP55 -- $ 12.95
With charming illustrations and common-sense, spiritual wisdom, this endearing book gently encourages us to live life on simpler terms - as if on "islandtime" whether your island is real or imaginary. It's a refreshing gift book, perfect for the coffee table, be it in your living room on the mainland or aboard your sailing boat! How to Live on an Island gives us an opportunity to reflect on the most important things - ourselves, our environment and our relationships with others in this world! Its philosophy will enchant you.
"I think that there's no truer place than an island. Whether it's a sandbar or a bubble-up or volcanic rock or a jut of tropical coral, an island stands only by some whim of fate, given a chancy foothold among the chaos. When I go to an island, I know that I'm in that state of grace in which anything can happen."

How to Live at the Beach
by Sandra Gingras 6 X 6 Full-Color Hardcover 56 Pages Item # IOP56 -- $ 12.95
What is it about the beach that makes it so alluring? Why is it the place we run away to when we can, dream about when we can't, and long for when we are far removed from it? It's all about simplicity, serenity and appreciation. Through this book, we can discover and rediscover - that allure! How to Live at the Beach is a gift book that is a true gift to read, enjoy and ponder. It reminds us of the importnat things we too often forget when we become swept away with the tide of our too-busy, too-hectic lives. Like living on islandtime, or the beach itself, it offers us renewal. Each page contrasts the differences between life at the beach and the complicated, heavily structured everyday lives that most of us have. Once again, Islandtimes offers you another form of tropical escapism at its best...
"We want to elongate the days, distill the memories, make them last. At the same time, we know that the beauty is in the evanescence... Every wave comes in, then retreats. Every day promises, then turns its back and slips away. Every joy has a little tease in it, a give and a take, and leaves a wake of longing."
