Chevron Bliss!!

How HOT is the chevron zigzag design right now???  I might be a little late on this bandwagon...but I LOVE the look :)  3rd Ave Shore typically is ocean inspired, but I think this fits right in with the "coastal" look.  In-fact these are going up in the shop this week!   Our pack of chevron zig-zag stripes is 36 FEET long!!  You can mix and match colors too.  Enjoy:)

Aloha.....Sam{antha}

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

43 Kihapai St. Kailua, HI 96734



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,
Sam Hardin

Kailua Classic....

Wow what a weekend!!!  Just dropping some behind the scene action at the shop.  

Yes 3rd Ave Shore does create handmade ocean inspired wall decals {and will ship to anywhere in the W O R L D}, but we also believe in working hard and playing harder!  :)  A while back my hubby Ted had a  {Tequila Sunrise Series} Hobie  Catamaran donated to him.   Well after some TLC, it was launched in Lanikai  this past weekend with the help of some great friends.  Teddy named it "Kailua Classic" and you can see why....

I created the name "Kailua Classic"  in our Ocean Blue Matte Vinyl  and partnered it with a fun vintage font.


Are you in need for some marina decals for your boat, catamaran, jet ski, paddle board, surf board??? Message the shop and I'll get started on them....they are too fun and really can make your vessel pop with a one of a kind design or just the name of your cruiser.  Enjoy the ride.

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 decalsSam  3rdaveshore.com

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,

What a surprise!

Aloha everyone! Typically Mondays can be a bit blah, but yesterday's Monday R.O.C.K.E.D! I ran into Kailua's Shore Break Shave Ice truck! It was exciting to see 3rd Ave Shore's decals in action!

A few months back I did some custom artwork (surf and wave decals) for this shave ice truck. Seeing this old postal mail carrier really put me to the test. I loved that I was working with a blank canvas, so I decided that a long wave starting from the back and ending in the front would be perfect! Added some rainbow wording..and ta dah! Here it is!



The idea behind the truck is to be somewhat of an ice cream truck, meaning it's mobile! Shore Break Shave Ice cruises around Kailua selling 25 Ono delicious flavors of shave ice. I had coconut and watermelon yesterday...YUM! Check out their great site (you can even rent it for parties!).
Shorebreak Shave Ice.  A warm mahalo to Dave and Brook for bringing me on board with this fun project, may your business be blessed!

Are you interested in custom decals for your car or business vehicle? I can help! Just shoot me an e.mail at SamHardin@yahoo.com 3rdaveshore.com
