Retailer of the week

Located in a beautiful former house, the Potted Geranium in West Harwich, Massachusetts is our retailer of the week.  Stephanie, the owner at the Geranium, always stocks the most beautiful items for your home & body as well as great hostess gifts, children's items, Vera, candles, soaps, stationery...you name it, and they've got it.  The shop is set up in adjoining rooms so all the kids stuff is in one room, garden things in another, etc.  It's a great place and worth a visit if you're in the mid-Cape area.

Retailer of the Week

Back for another installment of Retailer of the Week.  This time, I'm in my neck of the woods out here on Cape Cod, and I'm featuring Wellfleet Marine, in my neighboring town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts.

My friend Jill runs the gift shop at Wellfleet Marine, but she wears many other hats as well because they have a fish market and boat rentals plus boat repair and dry dock there.  Jill's shop is really fantastic and she pays extreme attention to detail like the above photo which is one of her planters out in front of the store...she actually does stuff like that!  She also buys really great coastal inspired goodies for her shop....things you will not find everywhere.  She has a particular interest in mermaids and pirates.  It's my go-to shop when I need a kids birthday gift or a hostess gift...Jill always has the perfect thing.  Jill has not only been a retailer of mine for 4 years now but she has also become a friend.  

Go check out Wellfleet Marine...in fact, I'm bringing a delivery of new Seaside Designs goodies there this week!

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!

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!
