Four years ago, I walked into an Ace Hardware at the direction of my phlebotomist who worked across the street. My fabulous phlebotomist asked me where I was going ”looking so fine at 1 pm.” I told him I dressed up every day and he told me I needed to go across the street. I thought he was crazy, but I didn’t have to be anywhere for an hour and I was curious. Little did I know that the Ace hardware store was half huge gift shop with the complete Vera Bradley line, Pandora, Waxing Poetic, Kendra Scott, and a brand of accessories I’d never heard of called Spartina 449.
There was a black and white tote with a hot pink lining I had to have, as well as an orange key fob. I noticed all of the pieces in the line had a little mermaid on them and thought it was cute. Later, I gave them a Goog and discovered Spartina 449 was a company based in coastal South Carolina and the name was from the grass that grows there and the address of the founder’s cottage. Now how cute is that?
Fast fast forward to last year, and I had to get a key off of my key chain. I wouldn’t be able to get it off and it was cut as a last resort in getting the key off. I’ve made due with one I didn’t like, but started looking for a new one. Of course I went back to Spartina 449. They didn’t disappoint. Bees are my favorite, so it had to be this.
