BAROQUE & THE WORLD = TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
tue. june 8, 2010

One of my favorite things in the world is the world:

 

There are so many places I'd love to go: Africa, Ireland, China, and everywhere in between! If I was independently wealthy, you'd find me gone for a month here and there, exploring off the beaten paths and nooks and crannies from land to land.

Some of you are even out there doing just that!

In fact, we get emails almost every day from someone, somewhere in the world, asking why we do not ship worldwide. Our response until now has been that you can order our bags from our partner, Adorama, who does ship internationally.

UNTIL NOW!!

If you live somewhere besides the US (and most people out there do!!), you can go to our new international website:

SHOOTSAC INTERNATIONAL!!!

And yes, you'll be able to participate in each and every sale we have, as well as have any item shipped to you anywhere for a flat rate of $35.

Hooray World!!

Which leads me to the next big news!! Until Sunday night, June 13, we have a SWEET SAUCE SALE going on! Check it out:

 

To play with us, if you're in the US, go to:

www.shootsac.com

and if you're anywhere else go to:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE!
mon. may 31, 2010

People who don't live in California think it's always sunny here. I was one of those people before I moved here. I dreamed of shooting beautiful June weddings outdoors on crispy, beautiful, blue-skied days.

Little did I know that they have something here called June Gloom. As in, the entire MONTH of June is enclosed in a dark, foggy gloom that hovers just above the horizon.

I refuse to admit this exists! Even if it does, it still doesn't take away what June does for me--it refreshes. It renews. And it's never gloomy ALL the time :)

So June Babies, chin up, no matter what the weather is where you are! You shine so bright that no cloud could compete with you anyway!

I was unable to find out many interesting facts about June, so instead, here are some interesting facts about life in general:

-The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45% when a person looks at something pleasing
-Dalmations are always born with no spots
-Bats always turn left when exiting a cave
-It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it
-The average person laughs 13 times per day
-If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, that person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died of wounds received in a battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of a natural cause

HALF BIRTHDAYS AND WHOLE BIRTHDAYS
thu. may 20, 2010

My sister-in-law, Cyndie loves to celebrate her half birthday. Half birthdays aren't significant to most people so more often than not, she celebrates hers by herself. I personally thing that the half-birthday is underrated--I mean, who wouldn't enjoy celebrating the six month anniversary of their birth?

Here at SHOOTSAC®, we enjoy all birthdays, we always send out a little something to the people on our birthday list, so even if nobody else remembered their birthday, at least we get some cred!

However (and this is really strange)--Every month I read our birthday list and post the names here, and realize...some of you are not on the list. I think to myself, "Well, maybe they don't HAVE a birthday". Because that's the only good reason for not being on the list, no? Which means that you probably don't have a half birthday either, and are simply floating from year to year never getting any older (actually that's not so bad now that I think about it).

Folks, here's what I'm trying to say with this post, which makes absolutely zero sense: GET ON OUR BIRTHDAY LIST. Really, we just want to send you presents. **GET ON THE BIRTHDAY LIST**

MAY BABIES!
tue. may 4, 2010

If I didn't love October so much, May would be my favorite month! FINALLY we're out of the dull, sludge of winter and in the throes of Spring! Flowers are blooming, it stays light out past 7:00, and the world is just a little brighter and shinier than usual.

This month, I thought I'd give you May babies some trivia about your birthday month! Here you go:

-May has five big events: Memorial Day, Mother's Day, Armed Forces Day, the Kentucky Derby, and today, CINCO DE MAYO!

-Emerald is your birthstone


 

-May is National Hamburger Month
 

And all of these people were born!

MOMS: THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!
mon. may 3, 2010

This has been kind of an interesting year in my life with so many of my close girlfriends having their first babies. Before the babies came (or were even starting to be planned), I think we all dreaded them coming a little bit because we knew that with their chubby cheeks and little giggles would also come the loss of a flexible schedule and last minute vacations. It's been amazing for me to see how my friends have changed from regular people that I knew so well into amazing mothers.

That isn't to say though, that things aren't different, because they are. Instead of hopping into the car to head to Santa Barbara for a weekend getaway, they schedule dates with their husbands regularly to make sure that they put one another first. Instead of buying every new item at Anthropologie, they hit up yard sales for a new Exersaucer or Pack n' Play. They constantly and consistently put others ahead of themselves for the good of their families.

This is why Mother's Day holds more of a place for me this year. Although I am not a Mother, motherhood is no longer something that I don't understand why anyone would ever do, because through my friends' starting their journey, I have been able to see how much joy their children bring to their lives. Even though I live far away from my mom, I am going to do my best to make sure that she feels appreciated that day (and hopefully lots of other days too!!)

If you haven't found a way to do that for any mom in your life (it doesn't ONLY have to be your mom), our Mother's Day Sale is STILL ON FOR ANOTHER 10 HOURS!! Until midnight PST tonight (Monday), you can find just another little way to show a mom you were thinking of her, and not spend a fortune.

Click the photo below to snag something pretty for her!

I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS...
wed. april 28, 2010

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but Mother's Day, the one day a year where it is absolutely mandatory that you honor your mother, is fast approaching.

(and by "fast approaching", I mean that you need to start thinking about this NOW!)

In my family, my brother and I enjoy competing for who is the favorite child. I'm pretty sure that if I showed up with a Shootsac® or a Hipslip® I would win, hands down. I mean, what better way to show that you were thinking ahead than to have one of our gorgeous don't-even-need-to-wrap-it boxes delivered to her ON TIME?!

You've gotta admit, that's a little better than grabbing the last card left on the shelf the morning of May 9th while you're on your way over to brunch (don't lie--we've all done it!)

This year, we're helping you out! Check it out below, and click the pretty flowers to be the favorite kid in your family, even if only for a moment!
