My Happy Place

Soooo, I'm back from the honeymoon, but before I get into all of that jazz.... I have to share some pics and thoughts on the space I created in our spare bedroom for the SEA in my life. Yes, that's right, I've made a little happy place for work and display for the biz. I turned a corner of the room into a mini office and shirt display. Ashley and Sarah have also created a "happy place" at their residences as well and will hopefully add their pics very soon to share with everyone!

My desk right by the window for lots of pretty natural light!!!

Close up of the desk. It has my cute little yellow lamp, some great magazines (for inspiration) with my business cards and the tags on top. Over to the left is an old shutter that I've turned into a clip board of some sort. I have pics of things I love and other happies clipped on. Underneath the shutter board are the pretty thank yous and of course my chic mac in center (only works if plugged in, so the powercord is a must!)

This is an old piece of wood Ben and I found in B.R. when trying to find something for over our bed that we could afford! We now have a new piece of wood (surprising, I think not!) over our bed that my mom got us, so this one gets to become my display piece for the office. I have our two shirts pinned up along with my beautiful handmade belts that I've created (definitely my most prized pieces yet!) I am going to keep pinning different pieces on this board as I make them to show people and to keep organized!


This is the shirt display area I have created with an old pretty sheet I had as well as the big ugly plastic boxes holding all of my crafting supplies. I would say this is a much better look than those hideous boxes. If only Nash had an IKEA and I could really get into some organizing! Rumor is we're getting one, so in the future that problem will be solved.

Close up of the display of shirts with an "example" of what buying something from us would look like!

So like I said, this is our packaging materials Sarah picked out! Do you LoVe?!? I LOVE! We're using an assortment of natural and bluesie-greensie coloring to create our SEA sister look! Materials include: Natural, turquise, and blue tissue paper, turquise and natural raffia string, blue and white colored wrapped together twine, and the brown bags. I'm thinking we should make a cool stamp to put each bag!! Also shown my business card attached and the tags we made for all the shirts and gifts. The tags have our "catch" phrase on them... " Refreshing Southern Style" as well as a little blurb about us on the back that reads, "The Sea sisters are all about living with spirit and style. We're three sisters combining our talents to bring fresh, one of a kind designs to your home and life." Sarah also got us hooked up with thank you cards with our logo on them to include in all of our gifts and packages and of course to send to all of our lovelies that have been so supportive to us (That means YOU reading this!!)

the life of a SEA sister

Here’s a little update on what’s been going on in the life of the SEA sisters…

SO…I know we’ve been MIA for a little while but don’t worry we’re still kicking! Turns out starting your own business, while working full time & trying to have some sort of social life (I mean we are in our 20s people) isn’t always easy.. BUT it’s SO worth it!

E finally got to go on her belated honeymoon with her new hubby Ben to California this week! So while she’s been away sipping wine on the west coast, S and I have been holding down the fort in the Deep South.
 
One of our 1st Orders!

I’ve been busy making TONS of oyster charm bracelets & necklaces & shipping out orders. We still get excited every time we get a new order! Help the Louisiana seafood workers affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill and get a really cute classic piece of jewelry – sounds like a win-win to me!

We also sent a 2nd order of SEA sister shirts to The Savvy Seahorse in Rosemary Beach, FL! If you’re down that way for Labor Day weekend stop in and pick one up! Other than that we are working on a few amazing custom projects for our fall brides. As always we will keep you posted as more things come our way….

Have a great weekend friends!
