3rd Ave Shore Grand Opening Bash

Hi friends & fam :) Just wanted to say thanks for all the support and love you've shared with Ted & I on our adventures in business & the handmade life that we so cherish. Can't help but smile when we look back at the days in the Kalama house garage where we had our first cutter (from craigslist!) plugged into an extension cord from the house!! I would be designing in one corner and Ted would be restoring a piece of furniture that he'd scored from the side of the road in the other corner! Ha! It's been a good & blessed ride for the both of us. Please come join us in our first grand opening in Kailua. The 3rd Ave Shore shop will serve as a place where both of our passions meet: Handmade SURFace Graphics & Custom Reclaimed Wood Furniture...among other things you didn't know you needed :) Sorry for the rant, we're just a bit excited....much love & aloha to you!

I heart Olive: Kailua boutiquing

 Mahalo Olive for supporting 3rd Ave Shore & Handmade.

  A real treat to be apart of this project.

 

One of my girlfriends told me about Olive a couple years ago, a new boutique in the Kailua neighborhood. Of course I immediately hopped in my car to check it out. This boutique is a one-stop-shop for any occasion! Need a hostess gift? check.  Need a last minute birthday gift? no prob.  Want to reward yourself for that promotion you just got? This is the place! It’s magnificent. The owner Ali  recently connected with 3rd Ave Shore to use one of our tree decals to tie in a handmade swing that would hang inside the shop.  So creative on their part!!  Check the pics out or better yet go say hello to Olive.Enjoy :)

I fell in love with these letter press styled note cards. I’d say if you don’t live in/near Kailua that Olive is worth the drive

3rd Ave Shore is so bliss-ed (is that even a word??) to be apart of the Oahu business community!  If you have an idea that we can help you on....don't be shy, just ask!

Aloha,

Retro & Restoration Inspired Living

{bigchill.com}  UNREAL!!

 Aloha Friday!  Lots of exciting things going on in the  3rd Ave Shore world :)  So I must spill the beans.....Ted and I have been house hunting (*literally hunting!) the past 6 months for the perfect place to start our true (non-rental kind) roots in Hawaii. Well we are now due to close on our first property next month!  We could not be more excited about the property.  It sits on a  good amount of land, pretty original condition (which we love!!), with lovely views of the Waikiki sunsets from our back yard. We are so grateful to have found this home and to be able to call it ours.  Here is some of my inspiration on keeping it retro/vintage.  I must say that we are both not a huge fans of pink, so envision the pink accents in lime or burnt orange.  Oh the joys of decorating in my mind...LOL
Picture to come!!  I'll be sure to post the renovations too (good 'ole sweat equity).

Mahalo for supporting 3rd Ave Shore & handmade,

Jaw Dropper....

Aloha!! Hope the weekend is treating you great :) I just had to share the latest and most exciting news around the shop.  As you may know, 3rd Ave Shore was born out of my love for the ocean and goal to put my designs  into affordable wall decals for anybody by the shore or in a big city! Along the way there has been some rad press events and shows for the shop....but NOTHING....NOTHING like what I received yesterday in the mail.  The copy of the Honolulu Aruco Travel Book (geared for the chic traveler in all of us...but for the Japanese vistors!) arrived yesterday.  When I opened it to pg. 69 my jaw dropped.  Literally dropped! They had placed 3rd Ave Shore's page right next to Heather Brown!  I am quite possibly the biggest fan of hers and admire her style to no belief!  She is amazing and also is inspired by Hawaii and the wonderful surf up at North Shore. Just thought I'd share, I think I'll pick my jaw up now and enjoy the moment :)

Dreams do come true,  Sam

Kailua Business Store Fronts

Aloha Friday!  I apologize for the interruption in blog use lately.  I looked at the calendar and was like...November???  Really??? 

Well I'm sure most of can relate to how fast this year has gone by, and a mighty fine one at that!  Wanted  to keep you updated on the fun projects  3rd Ave Shore has done around the island.

Lanikai Bath & Body was so nice to have me come in and re-vamp their store sections. Immediately entering Lanikai Bath & Body you feel so fresh with the smell of local aroma's in the air.  They carry a wonderful variety of all natural body butters, tropical lotions, handmade soaps, and many other island favorites (even have a doggie section!).  Pretty much 3rd Ave Shore put wall words around the store to help the customers get to know their way around better.  The front windows (which are so nice and huge!!) I added their trademark naupaka flower to the front 

 windows and split it down the middle so it was showcased in a larger way. 

 Global Village  is located in the heart of Kailua. It is host (or I should say hostess...because it's family owned and operated by a mother & her 2 daughters)   to some great local finds from Hawaii.  They have a jewelry making section in the back, plenty of fun threads, trinkets,  bags and much more!  It is a wonderful place for shopping and you'll be sure to find clothing for women, men and keiki, as well as a huge selection of must-have accessories and gifts.  

3rd Ave Shore was  lucky enough to design the front window decals and inspirations wall words around the dressing room area.It was fun to design and great to service such a fun local shop!

Stay posted for our next projects!  Soon to come..Nohea Galleries.

Are you interested in having 3rd Ave Shore design store front signage for your windows?  Well I'd love to help spruce your identity :)  Feel free to contact me here @ 3rd Ave Shore

Mahalo Lanikai Bath & Body and Global Village,
