I will also be giving away a 600.00 gift certificate to Sadie Olive...
The winner will be allowed to use the gift certificate on design services or it can be used in Sara's shop....
Giveaway details will be at the bottom of the post.
Sara designed my shop website as well as my blog....
I can't tell you how happy I was with how everything turned out, I love Sara's work and highly recommend Sara's design services....
Sara truly is an inspiration to me in so many ways, that is why I am so excited to share her inspiring interview with all of you today... I hope you enjoy the interview and don't forget to sign up for the 600.00 Sadie Olive gift certificate giveaway if you wish to do so.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what inspired you to start your design business, Sadie Olive.
I was always inspired by the small boutiques my mom and I used to frequent to buy home décor and knick knacks while growing up. I often dreamt of owning my own shop and imagined how much fun it would be to purchase inventory and stage the products that I sold. One weekend in 2007 I was reading a magazine about women entrepreneurs and I was literally compelled to jump up and make a go of it. I decided an online shop was the easiest way to start, so I filled for a business license, registered a domain name and the rest is history. It was supposed to start as a part time venture, while I worked full time in the mortgage industry, but a few short months after I started the business, I was laid off from my underwriting job. I was devestated thinking I had to give up on my dream, but after I was unable to secure another full time job, I started offering design work to my blog readers. Much to my surprise and delight, several of them hired me to help with their own blogs and soon I had fairly steady stream of clients coming my way.

I love the name Sadie Olive, is their a story behind the name of your business?
Sadie Olive is the name Josh and I picked for a future daughter while we were struggling with infertility. When I started my business, I was terribly depressed, and the business was a perfect distraction from all of that heartache. I thought it was fitting that I use the name for my new venture.
.jpg)
Sara and Josh recently adopted a beautiful baby boy named Finn.
What type of design work do you specialize in?
(You can read more about Sara's blog designs here)
.jpg)
On an average how long does it take to have a website built such as an online shop?
About a week. Most of my clients with online shops use a ready made site from Pappashop.com, the website and shaping cart are already built in and ready to use when I start my "design" process. So my job is to style the site and create a look that reflects the business and the owners message and personality. All of my designs are custom made for each client.
I will send a series of questions over along with instructions for signing up for their website. I usually ask for color preferences, font choices, and design notes on anything specific they might want. Then I will use those notes to create a first draft and let them critique the design. And once I received their comments, I will use those notes to make revisions until we get the site just right.
I have some retail products that I stock in my main shop on sadieolive.com. I mostly sell linens, small home décor and some paper goods.
It's just a small collection of items that I hand pick to keep in stock. Our Etsy shop focuses on vintage home décor and accessories.
.jpg)
You also have an etsy shop, what are the benefits to selling on etsy and what are the benefits to selling on your own website?
My main shop is really just new items, while the Etsy shop is all vintage. (Although some of the linens that we sell, do appear on both sites, as they are made from vintage fabric). I find Etsy is great for selling vintage. I love that there are always people on Etsy searching for vintage items, so I am able to reach some of those people just by being a seller there. Of course, with Etsy you do pay fees for each transaction, and with your own website you do not. However, the amount of money you can spend just trying to drive traffic to your own website is far more than any fees you pay to Etsy. With your own website, you can obviously customize much more than you can on Etsy. Like the size of your images, the layout, the categories, and more.
.jpg)
How do you keep from getting burned out creatively with all that you?
I get burned out ALL the time. But I try to switch my focus from one job to another when I get too burnt out. For example, I will focus on my photography or my vintage shop when I am tired of design work, and vice versa.
.jpg)
.jpg)
Do you have a favorite place you like to go to for inspiration?
Etsy is a big source of inspiration for me, as are blogs and magazines. I find inspiration all over really, other websites, at Anthropology, from a business card or a photograph. It doesn't take much to get my creative juices flowing.
Thank you Sara for taking the time out of your busy day to do the interview!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 548 Newer› Newest»I would use the gift certificate to stock up on new linens for my home! Thanks for the opportunity!
What a fantastic giveaway. There is so much to choose from that it would be so hard to narrow it down. But my common sense tells me that I desperately need to overhaul my blog so that I can get it up and running. And perhaps throw in a few hemp towels.
I would love to get some french grain sack towels and even though old ice cream scoop. But i want everything in her shop and would be honoured if i won because i would love displaying all the beautiful pieces she is selling = )

Wow! I would love love love to use the giveaway for a blog design. I've began my home/event styling business last year and really feel like this is what I'm missing. I've wanted to contact her for service, but with a limited budget, haven't been able to yet, what a blessing this would be!
I am getting ready to take my business online with a website. I would absolutely use the giveaway to help me reach my goal!

I cried when I saw this give-away on your site! It couldn't have come at a better time. I am trying to start my own blog, deweyavenue, using WordPress. I am seriously frustrated with designing a header and the overall look of the site. The free templates seemed fine at first, but I am finding I need some help. I also want to add my own shop and/or an Etsy link. Oh, how I could use your help! Thanks for such a wonderful opportunity!
Great interview! I've been contemplating starting a business online. Sara's services would be a godsend....
I would love to buy some new linens! Betsy.s.groves @ gmail.com
If I were lucky enough to win this, I would stock up on the french blue linens.....heaven.
Love Sadie Olive! Her work is amazing, and so is Dreamy Whites!!! I'd definitely have Sara design my website. xoxo
Wow, i have been following sadie olive for some time- i love that blog!
the GC? well, i am redoing my little girl's room right now. i would def stock it with lovely sadie olive items. i would also order some gifts also.

The shops are beautiful and I really did spend some thoughtful time on what I would do if shopping in these sites. Then it hit me! My best friend just had a terrible loss and I would choose something really beautiful for her to let her know how much I care.
i want to win! i love anything white, linen, and wire so i would have no problem spending $600 here.=)
What a lovely interview and a very generous giveaway!
I would peruse her etsy shop and store to my heart's content, and take my time to make a purchase from all the lovely selections!
This giveaway would give me the chance to decorate the new house my boyfriend and I just bought! It is actually not new at all (over 100 years old!) and I am dying for some french or european linens to use around my house! This giveaway would help me turn our house into a home.
Great taste! Great look! Would that I could even get close to it. French linens... or the blue cupboard... from the shop sure would speed up the process.
Wow...what a great interview! I have admired Sara since I first opened my Etsy shop. And I adore the name Sadie Olive.
I know just how I would use the gift certificate! I would have her do my blog and shop design!! That would be amazing! I also love the design she did for you, Maria. It is so you!
I am off to share some of the other ways!
Thanks for such a great opportunity, Maria and Sara!!
Blessings,
Becky
Hi,
what a fabulous Giveaway. If I were to win, I buy some shabby things for my bedroom or little Gardenhouse.
Greetings

Hi,
I am a homeschool Mom to five. I have an Etsy shop: www.designsbytahra.etsy.com
and I live in Orlando, Florida. If I were to win this 600.00, I would think of opening my own cartel for my jewelry selling. I am not sure how much it would cost to set this up but I am willing to look into it.

Wowzers! What a generous giveaway indeed!! Sara is absolutely amazing, and everything she does is impeccable. I have adored her for quite some time. She is a perfect example of following your dream and doing something that makes you happy everyday :) Love that.
I wouldnt even know where to begin with all that $ - there are so many amazing things that she carries....it would be a blast having so much Sadie Olive in my home though ;) Thanks girls!!

I love the Dreamy Whites blog and store. I've often wondered about the development of such a beautiful site. We homeschool and my children love to antique with me. We have been talking about doing a blog and store with our uniquely Southern finds. If we won this giveaway we would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to make our dream a reality!
What a lovely and generous giveaway! I would love to get Sara's opinion and creativity to work for my photography site that needs updating and of course, anything in her Etsy shop would find a welcome place in my home.
I've followed Sara's blog for many years and this is an awesome giveaway! If I win, I'll use it to go for design services for my new shop!
I also shared the giveaway on Facebook!
I love the carpet bag and the grain sack runners, and so much more!

Oh my goodness. I would easily find 600 worth of stuff to buy from her shop. Her style is my style. One of each please!!!!!!
Gorgeous, indeed! Not only is her shop beautiful, but her design of your site is beautiful as well.
One problem: It makes me feel I need to go back the the drawing board with my own!
Wonderful giveaway...If I won...I would have a great time choosing from from the beautiful Sadie Olive shop...love the linen!
Wow, what a hard decision, but I think I would use the money to add some charm to my home via SadieOlive.com and Sara's great eye for vintage pieces.
Wonderful interview, and lovely photos!
How would I spend the $600.00? Can we do a partial Etsy shop and partial design service? Because I'd want to snap up those blue stripe linen towels for my kitchen first and foremost! ;)
Thank you for such an amazing giveaway!!

Hi Maria, i enjoyed your interview; it's always interesting to learn something about the people whose shops one frequents. Sara is very talented and has a beautiful family as well. Thanks for the chance to win the awesome giveaway. If I won, I would immediately go for the Carpet bag, the french bakery sign and as many grain sacks as I could afford. I especially like the caramel one that she has.

Great giveaway!! I would it for my website that needs help!
There are so many things I love about this story. I am so inspired by Sara's story. Starting a business is hard work. I am going throughout that process right now. Working on building my audience. Engaging my customers. I also connected with the adoption and infertility piece. I too have been through this and so I can relate in a way you can't unless you have been through it. I have 4 adopted children. The joy and heart ache are unique.

Sara is so talented, i love her style! i would definitely have her revamp my shops! thank you Maria, hope all is well with you! susan
Hi, What a great story. I would purchase items at Sadie Olive if I won.
What would I do, you ask? Well, as a recent college graduate who has just transplanted himself to NYC, I have always dreamed of creating my space that consists of the french farmhouse aesthetic. NYC is indeed an exciting place, but it is sometimes difficult to find the peace amongst fast-paced and constantly crazy atmosphere. As a recent grad, funds unfortunately are on the minimal side, so this gift certificate would allow me to begin creating my place of peace, and get me on my way to start my collection of french antiques. Please know that this gift certificate would mean the world to me - I long to fill my space with comforting, inviting, and peaceful fabrics, textiles, and housewares. Thanks!
Oh I would love, love to win this giveaway! I am looking forward to starting my very own online store soon... or maybe a little spruce-up on my blog! Either way, I know Sara could help me with her amazing talent!
Oh what an awesome giveaway!! I am a big grain sack fan but would probably opt for the website design!
What a lovely website! If I won the giveaway, I would want to have Sara design a blog for me. I also see a few vintage items in the Etsy shop that would suit my Steampunk-inspired apartment.
I love Sadie Olive, and I would love to use the money in on some vintage goodies. What fun!
I love all the linens, i.e., towels, apron, runner, etc. There's just so much great stuff in her shop!
Pinch myself to ensure I am not dreaming then buy linen items to wear as a bid, to mop up all my drool. :)
What a wonderful giveaway!!!
I would absolutely shop till I dropped at her Etsy Shop....love her vintage items.
Alice N.
Beautiful interview and very precious photo of your family Sarah Ducket. Your shops are absolutely great! Wishing you the best in your life. I would use the certificate to shop for my sister and myself as we both have upcoming birthdays and we enjoy vintage shopping together, it has been a true blessing to have her company in our adventures.
I would use it for a website design. :) Thanks for the giveaway.
First of all--my heart is so happy that she has Finn.
I have read her blog for quite a while now....
I would love her design services for a new web shop.
I enjoy peeking at all of her things she gathers for her shops & her last story in Souvenir featuring industrial things was fantastic.
{& your baking was so pretty too, Maria!}
What a fun giveaway!

The Charm, the delight, the pause in the moment of time in which to shop. Awesome Giveaway, oh where to start if the winner? Nesting wire baskets, Grain Sacks; the possibilies are endless ~ oh, but what a gift to "start shopping and sharing"!

What a generous giveaway! I have been thinking about starting a shop, so I might use the $600 toward that. On the other hand, I'm quite tempted by many of her shop items, including but not limited to.....the big ben clock, the fancy little butter dish, the rosette charm necklace, and the spring twig jewelry holder. Basically if I was to win I would be ecstatic!!
What a wonderful giveaway! I love all that Sara does, especially her sharing of little Finn with us. I too, am an adoptive Mom whose little boy grew up to be an adult sweetheart... and I wish the same for her!
Two lovely blogs! I discovered both of you through... Artful Blogging and would be thrilled to win something from the shop as well as some blog design service.
It would fun to shop for many items. I love any of the linens. Thanks for the generous chance!

I've long been a fan of Sadie Olive and admire Sarah's great sense of style and design! If I won this amazingly generous give-away, I think I'd go on a shopping spree in both her shops – so much loveliness just waiting to find its way into my home :)
hello
I love your shop filled with beautiful things and I'd decorate my new house with these pretty things ..
a beautiful day to you
What a lovely interview. I would use it in the shop. So many lovely things to choose from I wouldn't know where to start. I think I have a need for some wire nesting baskets, and that lovely hen would make a darling gift for my friend who keeps chickens..
I love her design work, and that is without a doubt what I would use the winnings for if they were mine :)
I LOVE Sadie Olive- I'm decorating my son's nursery now - so I would use it for that!!!
How beautiful. Well, I would love to have Sara help me design a better blog that will attract more viewers and make some suggestions for me with a critical, but encouraging eye. :)
What a nice giveaway. I'd use it for professional services. She did a nice job when I hired her before.
Thanks for a chance to win such a generous gift! I would love to have some of the pretty linens and vintage items from the online shop. What a great variety of choices ,it is like trying to pick a flavor of ice cream!!!!rg
Design services! Although her shop might tempt me too :)
I love the linens, wooden bowls, and botanical prints. I just found your blog while searching for French farmhouse design. It will be fun to read your blog (and Sara's too!).
I would love to spend it at Sara's shop! I absolutely adore everything! :)

I would sooo love to win - and decorate my new bed room!!!!
If I were to win, I would go crazy on the Antiquity section of the shop and have a container shipped to France! I already bought from Sadie Olive and my vintage laundry basket is an item I really treasure. Wish me luck!

I love Sara's blog and her work. Without a doubt I would use this for her design services. Thanks for the opportunity!
I loved reading the interview. If I were to win, it would be a tough decision between shopping Sara's vintage wares in her etsy shop, or using her design skills. I love her style.

Oh would love to win this!! My blog needs an over haul.
I love Sara, her blog and her shop......I actually have a couple of treasures from the Sadie Olive Shop.....If I were lucky enough to win this amazing give a way....I would first have Sara help me start up a blog......with her fabulous design services and then would have a bit of fun shopping in her shop!

I would have no trouble finding something to spend with Sara. Her shop is awesome. I have an etsy shop and blog that could use a nice new design. Thank you for the opportunity.
I guess my first comment got eaten. It disappeared. What a dreamy giveaway. I love both your and Sadie Olive Blog. If I won I think I would use the money for some design help:)
Thanks for the chance!
I love Sara's style - I'd have no trouble at all finding something to love! In particular, any of the linens, the urns, or wire baskets... This is a wonderful giveaway! ::Jill
What an amazing giveaway!!! Sara designed my website and blog and I love it, but have lots of update ideas - what a treat to work with Sara again!!!
Wow, what a beautiful giveaway. Let's see, I am drooling over the market basket and the carpet bag. Also am digging the vintage linens. Count me in!
I would go a little crazy with her linens page, I would love to toss all my kitchen towels and replace them with a stack from her for starters! Carmen csjudge @ earthlink.net
I would use the money to buy some of the beautiful items in her store!
Love Sara's shop...I think if I were to win I would buy some of her vintage linens. Great giveaway!!! ~Deb~
What a lovely giveaway and what a beautiful interview! Thank you for hosting. If I win the giveaway, I would probably use the money in a combination of her design services (postcard design for sure) and then use some of it to buy items in her shop and Etsy shop. She has a fantastic eye! It'd be wonderful to win this one. XO Laura at theironstonenest@yahoo.com
Love the photos on this post! I'd probably use it a little everywhere ... some vintage, some new, some LINENS, and some design.... Love her style.
I love Sara's blog! It was one of the first that I discovered before I had a blog of my own. I would love to use her design services, but she has so many pretty things in her shop that I would love too...I just can't decide what I would choose :)
I would do a mini make over in my living room it's very primitive folk art and my tastes have changed. I would defiantly get some grain sacks I love your love seat with the red stripe pillows on it.
I would use it for the french linens! Beautiful!
