We are gearing up for market and that means cRaZy hours, lots of boxes, and even more tees!!! We have been working hard for the past few months to create something fresh and fun for our Summer line. We have some of our favorite tees yet! Lots of bright colors, elaborate graphics and just overall fresh, new, tees! We are really excited to get to share them with you after market. We also have a new upcycle t-shirt dress with a little 80's vibe to it, which is one of the many newest trends on the market! Who could forget our new pearl snaps that we will also be debuting at market made with vintage belt straps and tribal trims!!! I.........CAN'T........WAIT!!! We will be set-up over at F!nds Cash & Carry in Market Hall in Dallas!
The hardest thing for us at Market is trying to figure out what the best seller is going to be. Just when you think you have it figured out your entire reasoning goes out the window when the one you thought was gonna be great flops and the other one that was a shoo in flies out! It's just the nature of the business and can be very stressful when investing alot of time and money into a product in the hopes that it's going to sell.
With that being said we shall see!!! Fingers Crossed it's the best one yet!

Flea Market Madness!
As I walked through the fields of junk in Canton this month I saw lots of goods just waiting to be picked and revamped into something fabulous. It made me wonder why I am so drawn to the mounds of worn, dinged up, beaten up goods that are surrounding me? I then realized I love the rush of finding a piece of junk and repurposing it into something fabulous that can be used now. I'm able to use my creative juices to transform it into something spectacular! If only I had endless hours to spend creating all of the ideas I have in my head! I do love seeing other peoples art of recrafting as well! Like these below:
I love the repurposed tanks and car parts to put together this upcycled, steel frame!
or these old springs repurposed into bar stools! Can you say cOoL!!!
Take your old suitcases and revamp them into a little chair such as this one.
The possibilities are endless!!! Just put a little thought into what you are looking at and think what else could I use this for? There is always at least one other purpose for it and your job as a salvager is to figure out what that purpose is and how it can suit you!
So dig deep and find some good stuff and until next time keep on shopping!
XOXO,
Megan

Mama's Day
Well Ladies,
I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day! I know I sure did! We had a large family luncheon at my mothers home in honor of all of the wonderful ladies in our lives! It was a beautiful setting of bright spring flowers, lemon pitchers full of lemonade, bohemian embroidered patio furniture and most importantly our beautiful family. We kicked back watched the kiddos swim, we all got to caught up, laughed, and enjoyed the gorgeous weather and company! Times like that remind me of how truly lucky and close of a family we are. In case you didn't know we are all family owned and operated. My aunt, Laura, runs the office. My uncle, Ross, prints tees. My Nonnie (grandmother),Connie (A bit of a tongue twister I know :)), prices all of our goods. My claimed sister, Shannon, crystals all of the tees. Our traveling show family consist of Shelly and Kim who most of you have met! And last but not least me and mom! Even though we all work together day in and out I always find it interested how we still have stuff to talk about! You know how with some people you are conversing and then find yourself running out of things to discuss and it's kind like you keep asking questions just to make conversation? That NEVER happens with us! We ALWAYS have something to talk about, laugh about, sometimes even gripe about LOL, but needless to say there is always that unspoken bond between us all. For those of you who wonder do we ever get on each others nerves? OF COURSE!!! We are not always happy, we have our break downs, and most of all our dis-agreements! There was a time when we were in a huge growth spurt in our business and the stress was just too much and I quit to get a REAL job which was good for me at the time. I went into land-man work (oil leasing) was based out of Ft. Worth which meant I was away from my family a good bit, my mom and I were not on the best of terms but she went on with out me and I went on with out her. Once that gig was up I was able to build a home and mom and I reconciled and picked right up where we left off. I needed to grow up some and find my place in this world without the help of my family and to prove not only to myself but to my family that I can do it on my own. During that process I matured and was able to get a better perspective of what reality was and not take everything so personal in our business. Now looking back I think that was Gods way of making this work and creating balance for everyone involved. I am not kidding when I say that during this growing spell my moms house was engulfed in painted shoes, there were racks in our living room and dining room of shoes, we crystalled camo in the kitchen, the office was in the guest bedroom. It was nuts! My mom would work like 20 hrs a day. I am not exaggerating she would have to stay up till the wee hours in the morning to converse with China because of the time zones. Research, Research and did I mention, Research for new products. While that was one of the hardest times it makes us appreciate now and how far we have come and we are all still a team and that's what makes us who we are and defines our company and how we conduct business! We are all anxious for the next stage and look forward to what God's big plan is! I just want other people to realize this business does not come easy, free, or without lots of sacrifices! We have missed lots, had to juggle even more and have had to put a lot on the line but it has all been worth it! Some have no idea what all goes into it and how much you have to eat, sleep and breath your business to make it what it is! Call it a drive, determination, or just plain will but you gotta have it succeed!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and stay tuned for some BREAKING news on Wednesday!
Until then,
XOXO
