ITZ~ITZ A HEART by (me!) sandra, tvgp
-so-
i am VERY EXCITED about our new neighbors.. directly next door to amelia's
beautiful family opening a very cool, very original, custom design & artist-collaborative t-shirt shop
they've had a successful online, e-commerce business for over a year, and so are now opening their first brick n' mortar store
you've gotta check it out: http://www.thrivingink.com
and, as you probably know by now, any empty canvas gets my immediate attention, and the very second i learned that they collaborate with artists for t-shirt designs, my imagination went into a mary j blige dance number
the very first and quite mandatory t-shirt idea, of course! is:
eat, write & exercise. i'll be wearing one for my upcoming readings.
and then.. most definitely want to create a line of itz~itz designs! the picture here shows my very rough draft idea for itz~itz a heart
i plan to pretty this idea up some.. and am also working on a few other itz~itz shapes/designs
like: "itz~itz a beautiful fish!" (among a long list of others).
anyway.. how cool is that? at thriving ink, they take artist's designs, include them in a data base for customers to choose from
so customer can pick n' choose: " i want that design, in this color, on that style/color t-shirt"
and royalty is paid to the artist. "I LOVE IT!!" -creative fires lit and flaming.
PLUS i love that you can order both individual custom t's OR order in bulk.. or awkward numbers in between
write now, their storefront windows are covered with paper while the inside is being magically (magically, as in several people doing lots of hard work) transformed into a new artsy -warehouse-ish feeling/looking state of the art custom t-shirt shop. my understanding is that it will have brick, wood, steel -all the materials/colors that mysteriously attract artists and inspire creativity
and in addition to t-shirts.. jeans & other attire
can't wait to see!
a prayer and blessing for our new neighbor's.. "great success wished for you! at thriving ink"

LOVE IT!! i saw this great new store yesterday when michael and i were having lunch. i walked over to check out the store, and to look at their flyers that are posted on the windows, etc.
i love the way that things are paving their way for you. i feel it...i see it...i believe it. things are really falling into place. one fortunate happening at a time. overnight successes are overrated. sure, it would be nice...but, you are unique...so, naturally, you will do things a little different than the rest....savor the success.... experience every step...completely. this way you can blog about it along the way.
i feel it....i see it....i believe it!
much love to you!! sue-sue
ps: little known secret...i am your biggest "ITZ~ITZ" fan by a mile!
sue~sue: thank you!! you'll have to come by again once they have it all re-done/re-painted for their grand opening
april 3rd
i get to peek over every now and then and see the re-do in process
it is looking SO very hot! -in a very cool/creative/artsy kind of way
and BIG THANK YOU for your love and support.. for encouraging/believing in me
for seeing hope... for remembering/appreciating itz~itz
IT HELPS!!
you are a treasure! God's gift!
GREAT seeing you & christine today
love, ~s.
We love you, Sandra, Thanks for the great blog. We cannot wait to shake things up in downtown, and to help out artists from all over!

"to thriving businesses! thriving artists! and thriving ink!"
