Seeing Old Ladies in Their Underwear
MP3August 17, 2014
This week we are lucky to speak to Sally Ann, a clothing and accessories designer who crafts everything from recycled materials. You can find her blog, designs and tutorials or check out her shop at shopsallyann.com. She has a rad mobile boutique named Shelby that she takes out to markets around Florida — and hopefully across the country in the future.
Every Saturday Sally & Shelby take a trip to the Riverside Arts Market in Jacksonville Florida.
Sally joined us to chat despite being on vacation in Pensacola!
Chris & Sally discuss the confusion of time zones, Canada and their home town, Muskegon.
Paul & Sally humor old man Chris and talk about the weather. Michigan had a lot of snow this year which reminds Sally of stories she heard about the Great Blizzard of ‘78.
Canadian Chris & Floridian Sally agree that there is nothing like Lake Michigan.
Sally has sold her designs to over 20 countries and 30 of the states through her etsy store front.
A typical week for Sally: sewing all week, sell at the market and whatever doesn’t sell she puts on the etsy page.
Our guest also hopes to inspire and help others recycle clothing. She offers tutorials and gives away sewing machines that have been donated to her.
Recently Sally competed in OneSpark, a crowdfunding festival. You can see her entry page here.
Paul and Sally bond over smoke monster infested, multi-dimensional desert islands.
Shelby, the mobile boutique, just had a birthday! You can also see the transformation of the Shasta Compact on Sally Ann’s blog.
Our guest drops a few mobile boutique blogs on us, Clueless Girl, Honeybean, Coast to Coast Vintage and Oh So Lovely from Winnipeg.
Chris spotted a mobile boutique at the Edmonton Art Walk.
Moral of today’s story? Paul & Sally say, sustain your business and grow your life.
