The Best of Both Worlds
Posted by Sigrid Olsen on May 06, 2011 4 Comments
Now that we have moved ourselves south to Sarasota Florida, summer isn't such a precious commodity as it has been in past years. We have lived all these past few months in balmy weather, basked in the sun, walked outdoors every morning and enjoyed sunsets late into the evening on this far western "East Coast" location. I have noticed that the little ember of energy that begins to die inside me every January never lost it's spark this year. I have kept the flame burning and the work flowing. Creatively, entrepreneurially, it has been a good move.
But it is time to head home again. Summer is on its way to Gloucester and we need to be there for it's debut. We thought long and hard about trying to keep both locations open for the summer, but finally realized that one or both would suffer without us. So, next Saturday May 14th at 5 pm we will close our doors in SRQ for a few months while we take our focus back to Rocky Neck. We have upgrades to do here in Florida...(tackling the ever-challenging maintenance of the leaf-green floor for one thing.) And this year, since opening this southern location was a spur-of-the-moment decision, we have only enough merchandise to stock one shop at a time...so we will pack it up and head north just in time for Memorial Day in New England.
I hope to see some of our kindred spirits in both locations as we all try to follow the sun. Join us as we enjoy the best of both worlds.
—Sigrid and Curtis

Sarasota misses you both!
We were lucky to have this new and very creative addition to the gallery (and retail) scene here. Sigrid ~ we love your energy ~ and Curtis you are a subtle force also making it all happen seamlessly. Hurry back!!

I am from Fl and so glad you let us southern souls be enriched with all your beautiful works. Like the others I have greatly missed your clothing line. I wear my Sigrid clothes down here year round. Best thing about Florida is we get to wear bright fun colors all year!!

So happy to have found you. I miss the bright, happy Sigrid Olsen clothing displays in my favorite department stores here in Norhtern Virginia. I would love to see them back again and be able to buy and wear them again.
