Wow, what a week!

Hello, my friends.  I am so glad to be able to write!  After a weekend full of computer crashes and total system re-installment, and I so happy to be able to get online.  Funny how much people like myself feel just a little lost when the schedule is compromised.

Enough about that, I'm happy to say that thanks to all my friends, and fans/ followers, we have officially decided to close BeachBumBeauties, and combine all our vintage, jewelry, and other handmade goodies into the one shop.  SeaShellsbySeaShore will now be our one and only, mega store.  We won't hold anything back.  Whether you're looking for Custom Beach Prints, Sea Inspired Home Decor, Loose Shells, Mermaid Hair/ Jewelry Items, Handmade Paper goods, Vintage- it'll all be in one place- easier for you, easier for me!
Thank you all that added comments to facebook, twitter, and personally by email.

With the Holidays right around the corner- we are busy!  We have our first Fall Art Event here locally
this Sunday, Nov. 6th. If you're in the area- I would LOVE to meet you.  I'll be out at Billish (as locals call- Gypsey) Park, near the Padre Island Home Owners Association from 11-4pm.  I have been wanting to participate in this event for a year now- it's super casual, and the kids can play on the playground while the adults shop!  From there, you can take a trip down to the National SeaShore, and enjoy the true natural beauty at it's best!
My second event this year will fall on Sat, Dec. 3rd from 11-4pm located again, on the island at SeaShore Middle Academy on SPID.  I participated in this event last year, and had a fabulous time.  It was actually my very first show, which was held a little earlier in the year last year.  I believe the school is pumping up this year's activities with musical and theatrical events, as well as food vendors- and more art and small business booths.  This is one of the schools bigger Fund Raiser, and a portion of sales go directly to this amazing school.  I have two children still attending the small island charter school.  All the children at this school have amazing opportunities to excel.  Both my daughter's have earned numerous academic awards in state and National Events like the National Science Bowl because of the dedication of the staff, and parents.  I hope if you're nearby, you'll stop by the event to support this school.  Charter Schools receive 33% of funding that a regular Public School does, although the standards and level of commitment shown by many of these types of schools is astonishing.

Heads up also with some special discounts in the shops I am offering too!
