Retailer of the week

Welcome to another installment of Retailer of the Week.  This week, it's one of our fantastic online affiliates, Cottage and Bungalow.  

Many of you may reccogonize the name as they advertise in great magazines like Coastal Living and Cape Cod Life.  Owner, Pamela Hawthorne, has an eye for quality, beautiful, coastal-inspired goods.  She hand selects products ranging from jewelry to furniture to deck out your self or your beach house.  Her newest site is Cliff and Canyon, features high quality high country home style goods from textiles, rugs and furniture to lighting and accessories.  

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in and head on over to Cottage and Bungalow for some amazing coastal style of your own.

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!
