Message in a Bottle

Most of us are aware that our surroundings can greatly affect how we feel.

Yet, a fresh blanket of white snow can bring a sense of peace and serenity. And we know the company we keep has an affect on us. Negative people can bring us down and discourage us, while positive, happy people make it easier to feel positive about ourselves. So it makes sense that even...

Greater vision? Sounds pretty serious.....but not really. We just decided that shopping online should be fun, like a friends day out, poking around town visiting fun little shops. (As we've mentioned before.) Shopping in general can be enjoyable. Unfortunately, it can also be a drag.

As we are still loading products and arranging our store I was thinking....what would be an interesting blog post? Well....I think you will like the story of Vertigris. Who's Vertigris? She is the beautifully rendered hippocampus who graces the center of our Seahorse Mansion logo. We knew we wanted a very striking logo, a design people would be drawn to and come to love. It needed to relate to the sea and the lake but not entirely. Like our store we wanted it to stand out as something unique and even a bit mysterious. After tossing around a heap of...
