Retailer of the Week

The "Retailer of the Week" will be a weekly feature about one of my retailers that currently carries Seaside Designs products.  Each week through the end of the summer,  I will showcase a different store and let you know a little bit about them.

This week, it's Beach Grass in Kennebunkport, Maine:

Beach Grass is located at 28 Dock Square in beautiful Kennebunkport, Maine.  Proprietor Glenna Turner has been carrying Seaside Designs products for a few years now and is one of my favorite retailers to work with.  She sells a ton of our Seaside Potpourri...thanks Glenna!  From her website:  "At Beach Grass you’ll find home décor and accents inspired by the coast to create your own beach house style of living".  

If you're in the Kennebunkport area, please stop by and see Glenna....you'll be glad you did!

So, this is what we've really been up to all winter...Please read my husband's new blog to see all the news.  To all our family and friends:  thanks for the support and help to this point, and we hope to see you all there this summer enjoying a Mojito at the bar or a lobster on the patio!

Thank you...

It was so wonderful seeing and meeting so many wonderful retailers, press and creative people during the Boston Gift Show this past weekend.  I appreciate all the kind words and business you gave to me, and I look forward to working with you all continually in the future.  If you are in need of our catalog, please contact me at:  rebecca@seaside-designs.com and I will email you a copy right away! In the meantime...back to work!

Exciting things are on their way...

Were are busy little bees over here in the Seaside Designs Studio!  We are gearing up for the upcoming Boston Gift Show, March 28, 29, 30 & 31 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in beautiful Boston, Massachusetts.  If you are a current retailer of our products or a retailer who is interested, please stop by our beautiful sea-inspired booth #1019 in the Made in New England Section.  And if you can't make it?  No worries, just email us and we'll send you a copy (or an e-copy) of our new 2009 catalog including our full lines of fabulous, locally-made, hand-made products with great prices including:

sea-inspired home accents

seaside home fragrance & soap

coastal cards & seaside stationery

We hope to see you there!

Things going on....

Sorry for my lapse in posting...March has officially come in like a Lion!  I hope that the month continues to roar like one...no lambs around here!

I have been gearing up for a couple huge events during this month.  The first on is next Saturday, the 7th.  I am honored to have been invited to participate in A Wedding Affair at Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, Massachusetts.  The event, produced by the boutique magazine, Well Wed, is guaranteed to be the most beautiful, up-scale wedding event on the Cape all year.  The magazine puts on these signature destination wedding events in beautiful locations like the Cape, the Hampton's, The Finger Lakes Region and Vermont.   Quoted from their website: "The Wedding Affair will introduce you to the products, people & places that create some of the country's most talked about events".

I have been super busy creating all of my new sea-inspired favors and jewelry for this event.  If you are a bride interested in attending, you must purchase tickets in advance and they only sell a limited amount.  Please go to their website for more information about attending.

I'll also be debuting this line as well as all of my other new coastal creations at the upcoming Boston Gift Show, March 28, 28, 30 & 31 at the Boston Convention and Exposition Center.  I'm so excited to show everything that I have been working on to all of the wonderful shop owners in New England.  If you are a retailer attending the show, Seaside Designs will be in booth number 1019 in the Made in new England section.  Don't worry...I'm sending out postcards to all of my past and present retailers with all the info as an extra reminder...I hope to see you there!  

In the meantime, I hope that your March, whether it be a lion or a lamb, is wonderful!

Coastal Living

So, I just wandered over to the Coastal Living website and my Beach Sand Letters are on the home page!  Last year, the decorator for their idea house contacted one of my online affiliates, Coastal Gifts, asking for a set of the letters to decorate the idea house that would be in the magazine last October.  I thought that was the end of my 15 minutes until I popped over to their site today and saw them on the home page!  Click here to see them....they are over there on the left, on the window sill in the laundry room shot.  Who knows how long they will be there, but it certainly made my day!  If you would like a set of your very own, head on over to Coastal Gifts...it's a great site with many other cool coastal gifts.  

Have a great day!

I just put some new cards in the shop for Valentines

 Day...or as I like to call it, ValenTIDES Day!

Go check 'em out in the shop!
