Gift Show

Normally this time of year I am gearing up and exhibiting at the Boston Gift Show.  It is a local, wholesale gift show where I display my goods for regional buyers to look at and order for their stores for the upcoming busy season.  This year will be the first time in three that I will not be exhibiting.  I really love going to the show, being around creative people and talking to all my fantastic retailers, but this year, due to some schedule conflicts, I cannot be there.  Here is a photo of last year's booth:

I scored a coveted corner booth (great visibility) and I really loved how it ended up looking.  

If there are any of my retailers out there reading this, don't worry that you can't find me there...I have not closed up shop!  You will be receiving a new catalog in the mail very soon and I will even come and visit you if you would like to see samples in person!  I have all kinds of new goodies this year....LOTS of new cards and paper goods, new beachy jewelry, fun new soaps and home fragrance products, and of course, all the best sellers from season's past like my famous, original Sea Glass Soaps and Seaside Potpourri.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Back to reality...

Tanned, refreshed, relaxed and ready to tackle the busy time ahead! Our trip to Florida was great...the kids had fun, the adults had fun...couldn't be better!  

Now, back to reality....

Spring here on the Cape is crazy...all the local businesses are gearing up for the summer season, painting, refurbishing, updating, stocking and making plans.  I too am in that mode, creating the new products and updating and printing my new catalog and filling some wholesale orders too. Like this batch of our famous Sea Glass Soaps...off to a sunny, warm, tropical locale:

This basket is awaiting some labels but they will look like this when they are done:

Our Sea Glass Soaps are one of those products that people just love and keep coming back for more.  We've been making these since the early beginnings of Seaside Designs in 1999, and they have just gotten better over the years.  You have to see and smell these in person...they really look like little pieces of sea glass.  They smell super-fantastic too....like the seaside.  Check out the shop if you would like some for yourself....or look on our website for a store near you.
