Fin First

We had the sweetest surprise last night at the Downtown Flavortown Myrtle Beach friends and family night….our very own merch corner👏🏽🥹 We had a blast with friends and were treated like VIP, from dinner to dessert to the arcade games. Cheers to a fun new hangout in our little beach town👏🏽

Call in sick and order yourself some Room Service, you deserve it✨Our friend’s new space is after my own picker, oddity, one of a kind and antique loving heart. Hands down the coolest new shop and it’s just what our little beach town needed. Congratulations to the dream duo Nichole Singleton and Emily Vannoy for knocking it out of the park with their new space. 🛎️

Happy 13th birthday to our CEO Fin!!!💥 We wanted to start Fin’s very FIRST birthday off with a bang, we wanted to give him a legacy of sorts and we wanted it to represent our boy through and through….so we launched a clothing brand in his name when he turned one. We came out of the gates real strong that day with 14 hand drawn designs (representing his birthday May 14th) and our locals showed up big time for us! Since that day, we’ve watched your kiddos grow up in our tees, they’ve gotten them dirty like we hoped they would and then they passed them on as a hand me downs. We’ve shipped worldwide and witnessed our duds in real time on total strangers across the states. We are beyond honored!!!! And here we are, TWELVE YEARS later from the day we launched, still slinging duds. Over a hundred+ hand drawn designs later we STILL love what we do. Still drawing and creating. Still stressing, folding, shipping and hopefully making you all proud. Still learning as we go. Still answering emails, painting murals and doing the dirty work behind the scenes. Every piece of our brand has our son’s name on it and we think that’s pretty sweet that you all STILL like what we do. 🤙🏽 Thank you all for riding shotgun with us for over a decade!!!!

….and cheers to our boy Fin, today and every other day we celebrate you and YOUR little brand that could🤘🏽

We were a lil busy doing all the mom things that we let our official Happy Mother’s Day post slip through the cracks. While I still had the sweet homemade breakfast and handmade cards, as small business owners we kept on trucking through the special day, and that’s totally ok. Thankfully my love language is acts of productivity 👊🏽 Mommas really don’t get days off, and if you did, that’s ok too. But around here we still have deadlines, emails, product to print, logos to draw and packages to ship. We try to make each day have moments of appreciation, no matter the holiday. 🌺

We see you out there still cranking through it mommas, and we applaud you always. To all the mommas out there, the up early mommas, the stay up late mommas, the single moms, stay at home moms, step moms, adopted moms and adopting moms, grandmoms, Mr. Moms, moms to animals, tired mommas, moms that sacrifice, moms that have lost and moms that are expecting, moms that have left us, moms making memories and snapping photos, moms worrying about the future, homeschooling mommas and first in line at pick up line mommas, special needs moms, moms down the street and moms across the country, struggling moms, strong moms, moms that second guess themselves and mommas that provide for their families, moms that thrive on chaos and moms that are zen, mommas that need a break and mommas that won’t take a break, mother-in-laws, moms that still make the bed every day and moms that have almost given up, small shop owner moms and corporate moms, mommas breaking generational curses, moms to strong-willed free birds that have met their match but live another day...here’s to you, take a bow and know that you are appreciated, you are amazing and you are beautiful. I hope every day feels like Mother’s Day but if not, I hope your coffee was made extra strong today and every other day. Cheers to you🌿

Just putting this out into the universe 💫✨

Cheers to avoiding that 9-5 so we can work 24-7 🍻 Happy Saturday friends!

A big thank you the Beachfront Kitchen & Bar for allowing the hubby to sling paint at your oceanfront restaurant and tiki bar🌺 🌿

Fun fact: almost 30 years ago the hubby and I lived in the teeniest motel right behind this spot. We had the sweetest lil peek-a-boo view of the ocean. Every morning before sunrise we’d walk over to the beach to set up a long line of perfectly organized chairs and umbrellas for the lifeguarding service the hubby worked for (for 17 years). After that solid workout, I’d continue my lil stroll down the beach to mix snow cones poolside all day long until it was time happy hour, free wings and $2 pizzas at B***o Loco☀️ Those were the days!

You know sweet summertime is on its way when the Conch Cafe opens for the season! ☀️🌿

We love designing for this crew!
