HOLY SHRIMP & GRITS… the Sisterhood is Turning THREE!

Mammo on Wheels Wins the Hearts of Tybee Sisters

The wheels on this bus went round and round and much more than that! Today marked “Mammo Day” for the Tybee Tatas and other lucky and SMART women on Tybee. Free mammograms were offered all day on the island with enough mammories to last a lifetime! The St. Joe’s/Candler Hospital Mobile Mammo Unit pulled onto Tybee Island at 9 AM and was literally busting at the seams with brave girls all day!

MANY thanks to the angelic trio of ladies from St. Joe’s…techs Vernita Parker and Kim Jones and leader, Julie Schwartz. We laughed, we cried, we told stories of friends and family who had been down the road of breast cancer…it was a wonderful day of babes and boobs!

Thanks again to all of our Sisters, the Tybee Tatas and all of our friends at St. Joe’s/Candler Hospital! There’s MORE support in the Seaside Sisterhood than your favorite bra… we LIFT, but never separate!

After the 4th, the Sisters need a FIFTH!

Glory be, what a weekend! The island was just swarming with sun-seeking, fun-having, stars n’ bars wearing  crowds! Tybee put her best foot forward with great weather, a spectacular fireworks show and a whole lot of activities for anyone visiting on the island.

The shop was all a buzz as well! Throngs showed up to browse, shop and park their fannies in our fabulous new solid pine Adirondack rocking chairs. Heck, some folks stayed in those dang chairs so long, we were afraid  we were gonna have to serve them dinner!

First up, the cute little chapel from the Miley Cyrus movie, “The Last Song” was moved down the beach to its new home, right across the street from Seaside Sisters. The entire chapel was dismantled, like a ginormous puzzle, and trucked down the highway to its new home on the marsh, where it will serve as a wedding venue. Boy howdy, what a parking job that was to get that big ol thing backed into the new lot on the marsh! Thank the Lawd, the Sisters weren’t behind the wheel on that one!

Fan Mail…From some Flounder!

We came into the shop Friday morning to find some lovely fan mail posted on our door! We were, of course, just tickled pink to see that y’all loved us enough to leave us notes! We left them up all weekend, because we were just proud as pralines! Come to find that the fan was none other than Sister Sallie’s granddaughter, Ansley! Well bless your heart Ansley…we appreciate the kudos! And if any of you Sisters wants to send us some fan mail, we will be more than delighted to post it on our blog!!!! We just LOVE our Sisters!

Walking Matilda

This furry customer just charmed the flip flops off of everyone in the store! She came in not once, but twice with her Momma, and we fell in love with her both times! Little Matilda was wandering the store while her owner shopped, and played with the Sisters and all of our customers…she is now our honorary Shop Dog! So Matilda, when you come back to town, come on in and see us…we’ll put your furry fabulousness to work!!!! What a face!!!!!

Les Fabulous Femme Fatales

This week was a doozie for gorgeous gals shopping in our little coastal decor haven!  Girls in all sizes and ages came in and made our days at the store even more fun and filled with fabulosity!

These little Georgia Peaches just lit up the store! Upon entering the shop with Daddy in tow, these two divas went straight for the glittery stuff…straight to the table of Sister Sallie’s big bling rings. When asked about their names, I was given their true names and then their most-prized pseudonyms. The little one on the right had chosen “Jewel” as her new nom de plume…her sister had a few choices in mind…either “Hannah Montana”or “Fancy Nancy”. You girls rock!!!!!

Our next gaggle of gorgeous gals were on Tybee for a girl’s weekend to celebrate health and sisterhood! This triad spent eons of time shopping our little shore house and knew they’d be stopping in many times during their week-long stay on Tybee.  Two of these s girls just  couldn’t leave us without the customary funny hat/Dame Edna photo opp! We love you ladies…welcome to the Sisterhood!

The Big Ass Attic Sale was BIG, BIG, BIG!

Lord have mercy, you would have thunk we we were giving out stacks of twenties! Seaside Sisters, den of coastal decor, was just busting at the seams with guests, shoppers and admiring Mary Kay Andrews fans!

Mary Kay was tucked back in our Book Nook, just signing and chatting and causing quite the ruckus! Ladies were just all a-flutter as they stood in line to have her sign their books. Several of our guests came from pert-near half way across the good ole USA just to meet her! One woman even told us that it was Mary Kay Andrews that finally got her to reading books….ah, the power of the written word!

Not only were the books just flying out the door, but the Big Ass Attic Sale was quite successful as well. Mr. Mary Kay should be tickled pink to see all of the stuff that won’t be returning to his home! Mary Kay’s fabulous finds were gone before we knew it…furnishings, art, glassware…you name it…poof…gone!

But it’s never too late to buy Mary Kay’s junkin’ gems, because she has a permanent booth in Seaside Sisters. So stop in, grab yourself one of her hilarious books and take a gander at her collectibles.

Who’s Your Momma!!!

Our FAV Mother’s Day Web Posting…

11 Mother’s Day Gifts That Will Kill Your Sex Life (We’re Talking to You, Dad)
Posted by Suzanne Murray
on April 30, 2010 at 8:03 AM

Dear husbands, dads, and significant others,

This is just a friendly little reminder: Mother’s Day is coming up, and a nice, thoughtful gift would be greatly appreciated by the moms in your life. The key words here: Nice. Thoughtful. So unless your overworked, underpaid, sleep-deprived personal chef, cleaning woman, nanny, laundress, travel agent, personal assistant wife specifically requests one of the gifts on the list below, do not give it to her for Mother’s Day. Repeat: Do not give it to her for Mother’s Day. Unless, of course, you never want to have sex again. Ever.

Sincerely,

Moms everywhere

1. Exercise equipment or a gym membership. If you actually think this is a good idea, try this little test first. The next time your wife asks you if a certain article of clothing makes her look fat, say, “Yes.”

2. A puppy. Let’s see, she’ll have to walk it in the pouring rain at 2 a.m., feed it, potty-train it, and listen to it whine in the middle of the night. It’s just like giving her another kid.

3. A trip to Disneyland … with the kids, without you. For that matter, a fun day anywhere alone with the kids. Most moms get that every day — and we love it, we do, but on Mother’s Day? Not so much.

4. #1 Mom emblazoned anything — T-shirts, mugs, pencils, aprons, and the like. Tacky, tacky, tacky. She still has the one you gave her last year stashed in the “Yard Sale” pile in the garage.

5. A lawn mower, weed wacker (or anything else you secretly desire). She doesn’t want it — no matter how shiny it is or how much noise it makes. Put it on your Father’s Day wish list and step away from the chainsaw.

6. Plastic surgery — a tummy tuck, a boob job, Botox for those “awful wrinkles,” and the biggest no-no of all: Something that will make her va-jay-jay a little tighter. Don’t even go there.

7. A lovely Mother’s Day brunch for two — your wife and your mother. This isn’t the best day to test your “if only they’d spend some quality alone-time with each other, they’d really get along” theory. Chances are, your wife is getting all the quality time with your mom that she wants.

8. Clothes that don’t fit. And by “don’t fit,” we mean anything that’s too small. If you’re going to buy clothes, buy big. She’ll be perfectly happy to exchange something for a smaller size.

9. A vacuum cleaner or any other “helpful” household appliance. It’s a cliche, but some of you still don’t get it. It’s like your boss giving you work to take home on a weekend. If you think the house needs cleaning, clean it (now that’s a nice gift).

10. A porn movie. She doesn’t want to see it, and no, it wouldn’t be better if you threw in some lingerie. If you get her anything else on this list, though, you’ll need the porn — for yourself.

11. A scale. Have you learned nothing yet? Please see #1.

Remember, sex or no sex. The choice is yours. We know you’ll do the right thing.

Moms, do you have anything to add to the list?
