Facelift/Makeover Party

We had a lil’ shindig at Seaside Sisters on Tybee Island today. Three years ago, Seaside Susan opened the shop in just one storefront of the Sundance Shopping Center on Highway 80. Over the next few years, the business grew, and so did her ambition to make it the best little shop on the island. Today was the big reveal. She pulled out all the stops–hired a makeup artist to give makeovers–I got one! Magazine stylist Liz Demos–whose work has been published in many national magazines–like Southern Living and Better Homes and Gardens, gave a demonstration of how to make gorgeous table settings with what you have on hand, and yours truly had a “junk from my trunk” show. I also read a couple selections from SUMMER RENTAL. As we say here in the South, a good time was had by all. A fan from Canada even dropped by with her beautiful black and chocolate labs–they are search and rescue dogs who do border patrol and anti-terrorist work on our border. You just never know who’s gonna turn up on Tybee. If you missed the party today–don’t worry! This is Tybee, the party just keeps goin’ and goin’…
