Starbucks, Pumpkin Spice & Seasalt & Honey |
If you follow them on Instagram {@seasalt_and_honey} then you are already familiar with their knitty creations--especially, their coffee cozies.
If you are a blogger, Instagramer, over all coffee/tea drinker you really need to invest in their one -of -a -kind designs. Not only will the sweet coffee cozies keep your hands warm, but your tumbler will become super stylish too!
The Yellow Spectacles was lucky enough to receive two cozies {a Tiffany bow & a fall pumpkin design} to do a little photo shoot & chat with the main knitter, Liz about her knitting biz.
TYS: Can you tell me about Seasalt & Honey?
Liz: Seasalt & Honey is an online women's boutique offering classic, relaxed, trendy and affordable clothing + accessories.
TYS: Do you personally crochet/knit all your orders? How do you keep up?
Liz: I
personally make each and every coffee cozie in my store! I also make a
majority of the boot cuffs, scarves and hats! In the online store I
clearly list which items are handmade.
TYS: What made you want to start this business?

TYS: What made you want to start this business?
Liz:When
I was 6 months pregnant my husband was going on his second deployment
with the USMC. He was gone for 8 months, missed the birth of our first
child and he didn't even get to meet her until she was 6 months old!
I knew that when he was gone I had to keep my mind and hands
busy...
So, I decided to start
crocheting a baby blanket, and then baby shoes, and more blankets.. and
so on. Eventually I realized how much I LOVED to create items and I
blended that with my love for business and BAM! Seasalt & Honey was
born! It's been a long, but very enjoyable journey.
" I never stop creating and exploring new ideas. I find that I will randomly be inspired and I immediately want to start creating it! "-Liz
TYS: Have you faced any challenges and have you been able to over come them?
Liz: One challenge is not having enough space for all my materials! Eventually I should have a workshop...fingers crossed
TYS:What is your most popular item to date?
Liz: My Glitter Bow coffee cozies!
TYS: How do you keep things fresh?
Liz: I
am constantly coming up with new ideas! I never stop creating and
exploring new ideas. I find that I will randomly be inspired and I
immediately want to start creating it! I have so many notes with ideas
saved in my phone, computer, paper and sometimes my hands! haha!
TYS: Are you on Pinterest?
TYS: Are you on Pinterest?
Liz: Exploring new ideas and testing them out! I fail a lot of time, and succeed a lot too!
Liz: Oh yes! keep an eye out for some really fun coffee cozies!
We will for sure be on the lookout as stockings will be needing stuffed & cold hands will need to be warmed.
Thanks Liz!! |
I love cozy knits this time of year. Everything from toques to slippers and I'm in!
