Erase Deodorant Marks Forever!

TRAVEL GOODS MAGAZINE touted the Gal Pal Deodorant Remover pad as a "must have accessory to go!"

The Tales by the Sea staff couldn't agree more. For moms-on-the-go...it is a PAIN to throw on your little black dress and discover white deodorant marks on the sides of your hot little number. Ekkkkk. You were already running late and now you will BE late for sure.

Don't panic. Just pull out one of our pads and rub the marks with the grain of the fabric. Magically, this little pad has removed the white marks and you are no longer a "hot mess!"

This is a must have item for every stylish woman or man. Available in travel packs or 2 pad packs. Very affordable, very necessary.

FaBOOBlous Tata Story!

The first week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been really rewarding at Tales by the Sea. Not only have we convinced/bribed several women to get mammograms, sold lots of SAVE the TaTas products, but we even taught our first "snowbird" what "tatas" were. Yes, indeed, that does equal rewarding.

You see, this little old snow bird (for those of you who do not live in the south...a snowbird is a person who flocks from the colder northern climates to the south for the warm winters)came in and was starring at the Tatas hat pictured above. He just didn't get it. Finally, he approached the counter and confidently asked, "just was is a "tot-tas" and why do you people in Florida think it needs saving?"

I sweetly replied that the correct pronunciation was "ta-ta's" and that all women during the month of October should get a mammogram, hint, hint. The poor old bird just didn't get it. He said in a thick, New York accent, "lady, that's nice 'n all, but I still want to know what is a tot-tot?"

Seeing that I was getting no where with him, a nice tennis lady who was shopping nearby stepped in, placed her hands in the appropriate spot on her chest and said, "look mister, these are tatas and you better buy the darn hat!" At which point he turned around embarrassed and purchased 2 hats and a t-shirt. (We gave the tennis lady her hat free for the hilarious demonstration!)

As they say on Grey's Anatomy...seriously, please do a self exam and get a regular mammogram AND show your "support of for the girls" by purchasing a Save the Tata item! You will be faBOOBlous!

Think Pink Totebag

Happy October yall! Today feels like fall and today marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please, please go get a mammogram if you are at risk. (ok, there I said it, errrr, hold on for a minute, I need to go make my appointment, too!)

Our featured item today is the Think Pink Tote bag in yummy mocha brown and bubblegum pink. This bag is perfect to take on an overnight trip, to the pool or beach or to school or work. Roomy inside for lots of items and a convenient outside pocket to store your cell phone and keys.

We suggest monogramming it in a bubblegum pink thread. If you know of a person battling breast cancer...treat them to this bag. It would be a nice item to pack books or magazines in to take to their chemo treatments.

*SPECIAL* Order on our website before 10-17-08 and get the monogram F*R*E*E!

Breast Cancer Awarenesss Month starts in 1 day!

Save the TaTas!
Do your part to help "the girls!" Breast cancer awareness month kicks off in just 1 day and the Tales by the Sea team is so excited.

Show your "support" by wearing one of our SAVE THE TaTas t-shirts, hat or carry one of our cute Save the Tatas tote bags. A portion of the sale of each of the items goes directly to Breast Cancer Research. We also have Principessa water bottles that support breast cancer funding and Lady Primrose Tryst Kiss pink items that will help fund a cure.

This cause is very close to the Tales by the Sea family's heart. Our founders, Heidi and Brian LoCicero pledged to make a difference when Brian's mother was diagnosed with this disease. After watching her courageous battle, (that she is still fighting,) they decided that every little bit helps. After searching the marketplace for unique items that support the cause, they added several best sellers to the shop.

If you've been touched by breast cancer, please know that we are behind you. If there is something the shop can do to help please email us. If you participate in a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research, we'd be happy to donate an auction prize. Simply email us the event sheet and info.

Together we will make a difference.

Powder Room Towels

Visit any cultured home in the deep South and I guarantee that you will find lovely embossed monogrammed towels on the powder room counter. In fact, I'll even bet you!

We've decided that it was high time to run a special on one of our best sellers: the 3 ply super soft towels pictured above. There are so many ways you can use these. After all, don't you get irritated after a social gathering when you go into the powder room and notice that your beautiful linen hand towels were used to wipe some one's sticky little hands. Ekkkkk, I hate it.

With this set of powder room towels, you can still hang up your antique linens for "appearance sake," but you will lay the paper towels on the counter for the general visiting public to use. I dare say this has to be more sanitary any way, right?

These are cost effective, too. Order while on sale, a set 50 for just $24.99 OR order a set of 100 for only $32.99! The acrylic holder for the towels is sold for $18.00. We highly recommend this item. Ecru or white. Personalizing included!

Best "Time of the Month" Items! Period!

These are the best "time of the month" accessories...period! At our home, we call "that time," Aunt Sally. That way my daughter and I can discuss the topic without the boys in the area catching on. It sounds something like this:

Miss P: Mom, Aunt Sally is coming visit next week!

Me: What day is she coming?

Miss P: Well, I am guessing mid-week.

Me: Do we have everything for her visit? Should I go to the store and buy her any treats?

Miss P: Yes, get her a bunch!

At which point a few months ago, my husband, Mr. B, looks at me with a serious face and asks, "where does your Aunt Sally stay when she comes to the beach? How come I've never met her, but Miss P seems to know her well!"

Then my son, Big A, replies, "dad, not only do the girls visit with her once a month..but, I've heard them saying they are going to buy her lots of treats!"
Miss P and I both leave the room in fits of hysterical laughter.

This Period Pack contain an informative book about periods, a tampon tote and pad holder. The pad holder and tampon totes can also be purchased separately. A must for your Aunt Sally's next visit.

Imagine this fabulous fragrance by Lollia

Imagine just saying a name because you like how it sounds as it rolls off your tongue. That's how I feel about the brand, LOLLIA. I just love saying it. LOLLIA. It reminds me of lollipops, love, and beautiful Rome.

I would guess...or IMAGINE...as the case may be that Margot, the Lollia designer must be inspired to name her products as she takes in their flavors. Our latest and greatest is:

Lollia Imagine Eau de Parfum. It is a floral fragrance impression of the most beautiful day imaginable. Flowering Willow & Lotus float in, then flutter away leaving a trace of Orchid on their wings. Breezy Rice Flower and warm Coconut Milk mix with dew drop notes of Mandarin & Jasmine petals. Something to imagine, right?

The bubble bath, candles and shea butter lotion are something you will WANT. Order now at http://www.talesbythesea.com
