FINALLY!

I meant to get to this all-important first post oh, about forever ago, but life happens, kids need you, work beckons and the blog gets put on the back burner.  So, finally, I'm just making the commitment to sit down and begin writing.  
ANYWAY.....
For those of you who don't know me, I am first a mom and a wife, but I have this secret life...the life of a designer of all things Seaside.  You see, I own this little company aptly named Seaside Designs .  I design and make home accessories, ocean-inspired stationery, home fragrance products, jewelry and textiles.  I sell to stores around the country and some not in the country. I LOVE being my own boss, creating things that I love and getting to be home for my kids when they get home from school.  I live way out on Cape Cod (hence the beach bum) and I work from my little seaside studio close to home.  I am a one-gal show with the exception of my fabulous mom who is my right-hand-gal when I need her.  Right now I am in the midst of creating my new lines for 2008.  Almost March, I know...totally behind the 8-ball, but this is how I work...frantically playing catch-up at all times.  Life would be totally boring if I got everything done when it's supposed to be done.   I'll be posting some little peeks soon!

My other life is being my husbands right-hand-gal at our family restaurant and fish market.  Every spring around Memorial Day Weekend through every fall around Columbus Day Weekend, we are elbows deep in yummy coastal cuisine.  It's a typical clam-shack, but we have some award winning recipes that keep 'em coming back year after year.  If you are in Provincetown, Massachusetts during the summer months, stop by and have a lobster roll and an ice-cream cone...the best in town!
This is our famous Wall 'O Buoys.  You cannot go into a gallery on Cape Cod without seeing a photo or painting of it.  We've had commercials filmed in front of it, Jeep did an advertising spread with it in the background, there's even a Hallmark card out there somewhere with it!  This is just a small portion of the wall, but practically our entire building is covered...makes it easy to tell people where we're located though!
