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!

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}

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,

Sam

The Voice

The Hubster and I are notorious for enjoying our evenings rather simple. Our evenings begin with taking Gus down to stroll Kailua beach, followed by the grill being  fired up for some good eats and then cruisin' together till we can't keep our eyelids open. Well we were totally posted to The Voice last night, what kept our attention was the amazing talented contestants!!  It was incredible.  To say the least it inspired this post.

We all have a voice!  We are able to voice it in what we buy as consumers, treat others, dress, listen too, put forth, give, receive....etc.  If there is any "ah-ha" moment lesson that I live by it would be this:


All people want from us, is our best.  All that means is to be attentive, genuine and respectful. It's better to be interested then interesting.

Anyway the wind blows, is cool with me

Hope this itty bitty post inspires the voice in you to be your MOST authentic self.

Remember...you are a bright and SUPA shiny star.

Have a great 4th of July weekend:)

mahalo,
