slow retail

A little info for you: we have had zero success selling online. We do have an Etsy shop that houses our rag rugs and garlands, but we're lost amongst the millions of other sellers on that site. Therefore we don't put much effort into online sales.
So... we're taking a stand and getting old-fashioned on your arse ;-) We take orders over the phone, via email, and our FB page. Just get in touch and tell us what you are interested in. If we have it, great. If we have to make it, that's also great. We're calling this Slow Retail.... we look forward to making something for you.
Thank you,
the management :-)

 

 

happy mother's day from m.o.m

xo -bethany + tere

the countdown begins...

hi! the countdown is on.. pie day is only 6 days away, how are you coming along with your pie recipe?
this morning we sat down and wrote out our to-do list for this week; some fun things (buy flowers) others not so fun (clean the shop floor).
here's something fun: check out the post social today, it's all sweet and gooey and has m.o.m written all over it! thanks post social gals for getting us to step out a bit. (we love, love, love the font they used for the title -it's perfect, check it out)

oakland: bella vita

hi!
just a quick stop to let you know we've been fortunate to get another boutique carrying our ties! and just in time for easter.
if you live in oakland, please visit bella vita in the rockridge district -the ties should be there this saturday.

have a great weekend!
mom and i are heading up to culver city right now for the cream event. we'll let you know what it was like. my pre-judging thinks it's going to be hipster overload, but i'm going with an open mind. funny, we're going for business reasons (new idea's brewing) but i'm engaged! duh, gonna look at all the groovy stuff.

start your ovens: Pie Day #4 is right around the corner!

okay everyone, start pulling out those pie recipes and get to testing. our 4th annual pie day will be here before you know it!
it's always been a fun day, filled with sweet and savory pies (obvs), a little hopscotch and coloring, making new frineds and seeing old friends.
at m.o.m we of course prefer homemade to store bought, but no pie will be refused. if need be, go talk to your best friend marie about baking a pie for you.
pie day happens rain or shine - so far we've lucked out and had lovely weather every year.
hope to see you march 11th - it'll be sweet!

3 years in the making

we've been handing out rulers with our business name and website printed on them for years (that's a photo of the ruler at the top of the blog). it's always been a fun (and handy!) thing to give away. it was suggested to us, years ago, that we make the ruler our shop sign. well, here we are 3 years later with a sign that i just finished painting today!
i wonder how long it will take us to get it on the building?

new stuff

hi. how's the year going for you so far?
for us, so far so good.
we've added two new links to the right hand sidebar: photography and recipes. these links will open new pages that will be dedicated to their titles. we've been posting recipes for a while now, but i've never had a dedicated section for photography; this is my first time really putting it out there... be kind, i'm self-conscious.
we are just starting to add to the new pages, so keep checking in for more recipes and photo's.
hope the rest of your week is great!

so have you checked out the other new-ish links on the sidebar? let's see, there is: shop DECOR, 42nd Prop House, Antoinette jewelry shop, the official m.o.m website, and the official m.o.m on-line shop. sheesh, we're a freakin' conglomorate! go, go forth and click away!

hello december. good riddance to november!

well november seriously sucked. glad it's over.
there are various reasons for that statement, i won't bore you with the nitty-gritty details. let's just say that business decisions make our brains hurt. we'd rather play with fabric or take a picture. :-)

playing with fabric and taking pictures is what we do best. here's a little looksie at what we've been up to...

dot necklace: hand cut circles, black ties. modern and groovy. can also be worn by mom (i've practically lived in one for the past few weeks)

have you seen our sweater? it's really cute, in a cool-nerdy sort of way. exactly how we like things.
chain sweater: trim on each sweater is always slightly different. good for girls and boys.

rosebud belt: hand cut fabric, off-white cotton tape ties around back. it can also be worn as a headband -be crazy, no rules.

rosebud collar: we love, love, love our collar. a gorgeous handmade twist on a classic. as with our other accessories, it fits women also.

all of these accessories are in our shop in encinitas and available online. limited quantities.
