Why I Believe in 3rd Ave Shore

Being an entrepreneur you have to have  the courage to go out into the world and say "Hey I have this great service or product..and I think it would benefit the quality of your life!"  Well I am definitely not the pushy type..BUT I do believe in my company. That belief and passion drives my focus to building a better and better 3rd Ave Shore Line every day.

You see there was a time when I wanted to stop having work be the largest space in my life and  rather live an inspired  {a hi-5 everyday kinda life!!} life that had my career fit into my passions.  So I took notice to what were the things that brought me pure joy just by doing them. I found that I was subconsciously {back in 2009} doodling and designing surf, vintage, and old school beach designs in all my spare time. I wasn't sure where I was going to place my designs, weather it be clothing or giclee prints {that was my thoughts at the time.}  But knew that I was creating an authentic self career.

My world transformed.

I happened to stumble onto a wall decal website with my girlfriend Emily, and thought {I actually think I blurted it out} I can do that!!!!!  Wall decals were the perfect art form for my audience! It did strike me odd that as I researched more and more wall decal companies, that they were all competing for the same market AND had the SAME designs!!!  I knew in my heart that putting my designs into wall decals was the perfect venue to shipping them world wide and touching my fellow ocean lovers out there.  I have never looked back.

So in a nutshell as to why I believe in 3rd Ave Shore....well it's simple. I love what I do and I'm having a killer time creating ocean inspired decor for other peoples spaces. Do what you're proud of and hopefully make a positive change along the way. May YOU be blessed.

aloha,

Thank you for choosing handmade

A L O H A    

Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for supporting handmade {made in the U.S.A.}. Every time someone buys a handmade decal from 3rd Ave Shore, it allows myself to run a passion driven company and happily create swell & ocean inspired wall decals for your pad. Buying handmade is a conscious decision. In my personal life, I support handmade items that come from all over the world because it  supports the many talented people out there who are trying to get started with their business. I find the care and love taken in making everything I buy comes through when I get it. I feel a sense of extra worth and pleasure with each purchase knowing I have helped someone get one step closer to their dream. Supporting each other is after all the most rewarding gift we can give each other. 

Here is some insight from SuzyJack {contemporary Eco friendly paper}: Why should one buy handmade?  Because normally, buying handmade does not require fighting for a parking space, having your ears pierced by blaring holiday music, walking around in a daze under fluorescent lights, fighting to push a shopping cart with one bad wheel, or having a cashier you don't know ask for your phone number and zip code.
And one last thing......Because handmade items are what your Great Great Grandma used to buy.

Nicly put :)  Once again, a very warm mahalo (thank you in Hawaiian) for choosing 3rd Ave Shore's handmade wall decals.  Sam  3rdaveshore.com
