Commercial Success

 Well, we finally did it, we just wrapped the first ever broadcast commercial for Ocean Heir.  This one minute ad will be running in hotel rooms and local access cable stations around the Cambria/Central Coast area.  We think it turned out pretty good, we have posted it on Ocean Heir's Facebook page, take a look, and tell us what you think!

Mother's Day, May 10, 2015

 

 Mother's Day, May 10, 2015, is just around the corner.  We're sure that Ocean Heir has everything you need to pick the perfect bouquet of gifts to please any Mom.  If you're feeling stuck, here are some great ideas:

 1. Cards

 Of course you have to start with a really great card, and we have the best selection.

2.  Accessories

 We have a great collection of accessories.  There are handbags in great shapes and fun colors, and our assortment of scarves ranges from gauzy whimsical prints to soft cozy knits. And hats?  We have hats that can protect Mom from the sun or shield her from the cold.

3. Jewelry

 Whether Mom likes bling, or prefers more subtle jewelry, Ocean Heir has something for every taste.  There are sweet beaded necklaces crocheted on silk cord, trendy wrap bracelets packed with crystals, and plenty of hot turquoise.  And if your Mom likes impact jewelry, don't forget about our collection of LaLou statement pieces.

4.  Small Treasures

If you're looking for that just right little thing to complete your Mother's day bouquet we have plenty a unique gifts to fit the bill. Consider one of our exquisite fragrances, or one of our candles, perhaps a sweet little framed stitchery will be just the thing.  We are here to help, you can always ask and Heiress.

5. Books

What about a great book?  We have a really great selection of all kinds.  Books on architecture, style, glamping, cooking, rock and roll, manners, recreation, and fortune-telling.  If Mom likes to read, you will find something at Ocean Heir.

Oh and there is so much more.  Come on by, see our new space, and let an Heiress help you find the perfect gift for your Mom (you probably owe her).

Pardon Our Dust

Before the wall came down

Gotta have a great hat, roofers at work

Some of you may have noticed the hubbub and construction around the Garden Shed. Ocean Heir is thrilled to be taking over part of the old Deer Run space.  And despite a little noise and a little chaos we have been, and will be open throughout the remodeling process.  (Fans of Deer Run, have no fear, Leslie has taken her gifts and her talent and joined Left Field Gallery in SLO).

converts to a bed, if required

We plan  to expand our selection of cards and books, install a lounge area (you can think of it as the Husband Comfort Station), and just generally give us all a little more elbow room. We think you are going to love it, we're not done yet and we already do! 

These guys did a great job on the new floor!

First, there was the construction shoring up and weather-proofing the space. That went on for several weeks, and parts of  were pretty ugly, dirty and noisy (thanks to the Garden Shed for the property improvements and our neighbors for their patience).  Walls went up, walls came down, concrete was poured (several times), new roof, and, in true Garden Shed tradition, we have a beautiful new mosaic floor transition between the old and new spaces.   

Cully:  Handyman, Magician, Fashion Consultant

Then, our good friend and unparalleled handyman extraordinaire, Cully, handled all the Ocean Heir improvements as deftly as a magician.  He's framed walls, run electrical, installed windows, hung doors, and built new fixtures, everything that needed doing he did.  If that wasn't enough he's been a design consultant, lighting technician, Heiress tamer (sometimes we get a little nervous), and fixed our computer. He knows the difference between a boat neck and a scoop, and he's kept us ahead of schedule.  Cully, if we haven't said it yet, THANK YOU!

The Heiresses have been cleaning, merchandising, and re-fluffing all corners of the store, and of course, the Heiress-in-Chief is personally overseeing every detail.  There are just a few more construction details to button up, but we are very, very close, and should be completely done before the end of April.   Things may have moved around a bit, but it is all still here and an Heiress is always available to help find your favorites.  So come on by and be among the first to check out the new and improved Ocean Heir!
