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!

What a fabulous giveaway.
1. Please enter me in this fantastice giveaway, I think if I won I would go crazy with the linens but I do love the carpet bag too.
2. I am posting your giveaway on my blog right now!
I have followed Sara for such a long time-her talent is so inspiring, but I identified so much with her personal struggles, and being an adoptive mom myself, rejoiced when they were able to adopt their precious baby boy. Choosing what to spend such a generous amount on would be soo difficult-blessings and continuing success to you both!
Oh my goodness! what a special giveaway! I have been reading Sarahs blog for a few years now and am so excited about them bringing Finn into their family!
I would loooove the carpet bag and the gardeners wire wall thingie! and then I would love to shop some more! Thanks for the opportunity!

Have enjoyed wishing when visiting Sadie Olive site. Just love the clean freshness it brings. Love the linens, but I could go crazy if winning the giveaway!!! Thanks for the opportunity.
What an incredibly giveaway, and gracious interview! If I won the giveaway, I would get a lot of linens (new kitchen towels would be amazing) and some of the gorgeous wire baskets. Thanks, Maria and Sara!
Wow!!!! What an incredible giveaway....I love the vintage French sign, the vintage wicker basket, linens,....and the list goes on!
What lovely photos Sara has taken and what a generous giveaway. I would definitely go to her Etsy shop and look at the linens--lots of linens! Also, any ironstone she might have at the time. Thanks for the chance!

Oh, my goodness--this is the most amazing give away! We moved into a new house in a new state just a few months ago, and this would help in making it our Home. From the kitchen to the bedroom and bath and everywhere in between we could add beautiful touches to our decor...
i would probably spend the $$ on her vintage etsy shop items.
I have long admired Sadie Olive's blog designs. As I could really use the makeover my fingers are tightly crossed with hope and prayer. :)

Hugs,

Maria, what a beautiful artist Sadie is. Thank you for sharing her life and work with us. I would love to have my blog designed by her,if I win! Ciao Rita
I will be using the 600 in her shop since I live so far away! What an amazing woman!
I can't believe how long ago Sara started her shop. It seems like yesterday. I've always loved her style. I think I might use the winnings to redesign my blog which I desperately want to do, but I don't have the extra money to pay someone or the knowledge to do myself!
I announce gladly to this marvellous giveaway !!I like runner and grain sack .
Thanks you
You two are on the top of my favorites list. I love your style and grace. Keep up the beautiful work you two!
I would love to use the $600 gift certificate in helping my new business in some way. Maybe a little treat for myself from the shop too!
ericka.allin@gmail.com
What a wonderful giveaway, Maria! Were I to win this amazing gift certificate, I would most certainly go to work carefully picking a choosing the perfect home accents to warm up my home. SadieOlive.com certainly has plenty of wonderful options which would be perfect for helping me to build a home out of my new house!
Keep up the great work, love your style and blog!
Oh, this is tough.. I've always loved Sara's store.. but, I would probably venture toward website design as I have an online shop and appreciate the subtleness of Sara's design.
I would love to win! I would use it to redesign my blog!
Good Morning! I own a small business as well and if I were selected as the winner, I would use Sara's design skills/services. I already have a website that I love, but I think she might be able to help me with a postcard or an ad!
Thx so much,

Wow! What a fantastic giveaway! I've been a fan of Sadie Olive's blog for many years. I would probably utilize her blog design service for a makeover and maybe some home decor items from her shop. I love her style! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
What a magnificent shop and what a wonderful giveaway! Although the choice is beyond fabulous, If forced to narrow it down, I would have to indulge in some of the beautiful linens. The grain sacks are simply breathtaking - I love their rusticity.
Thanks for a great interview and a wonderfully generous giveaway,

Love Sadie Olive! Blog and shop so beautiful!
Great giveaway!
I've always loved Sara's style since I found her blog. I would use the gc in her shop for vintage treasures. The linens especially are lovely. ;)
I shared it on Pinterest as well. :)
I would start with the owl paperweights and then the vintage gold leaf earrings. You have a beautiful shop, lovely story, and God Bless your wonderful family!
I've been a follower of the Sadie Olive store for years! I've even ordered a few things. I think I might take the plunge and have Sarah do some website work for me.
Thanks Maria for hosting this great giveaway!!!
I think I would use it to amp up my blog. I feel like I am getting a bit stale right now and a blog face lift would be perfect. However, she does have a lot of great things in her shop so it might be a toss up! You never know...

Oooh what a great giveaway! I would definitely use the giftcard to spruce up my blog. I also love the wire nesting basket from her store. Lets face it, I would love anything from her store. It would be so hard to pick just a few things!
sammie.lambie@ymail.com
Sara's blog is one of the very first blogs I fell in love with. Her eye for vintage design and her home is amazing. It would be hard to decide which I would choose to spend my $600on. I am just getting ready to start an etsy shop up so maybe buying some of her goodies from one of her shops might be a better choice for now.
Thanks Maria for a great interview with her!
Hi Maria,
I just added your giveaway to my blog sidebar.
Sincerely,
Melinda
Wow what an awesome giveaway. There are so many lovely things I have my eye on like that square ticket display or the grain sacks. I know I would have no problem finding something I would love. Her shop is filled with wonderful things.
Danielle
Hi, What a blessing, thank you, and If I was picked, I would feel blessed to be able to select items from her Antiquity etsy store, such as the vintage wicker basket, or and carved angel floor board. It would be fun to add some vintage items to my home.
Thanks again

Gorgeous feature and shop!! I would use the money to make my parent's house nicer. It sounds corny, but as my mom has a chronic illness, all attention goes to that, and not to the state of their home. It would be lovely to be able to make their home feel a little nicer.
Congratulations on their adoption of little Finn. I love that name.
I would, if I was so lucky, have her help me redesign my blog and I would love to hae a couple items from her vintage shop.
What an amazing giveaway! I would love to go on a little shoppping spree! How decadent!
Love this giveaway! I have been following both of your blogs for awhile now. My parents just built their dream house & would love to give them the prize to help them design & decorate the inside!

Hi,
I had Sara design my blog. I would probably use the 600.00 to any additions or changes that might be needed to tweak it. Maybe changing the colors or header, something like that. Sara is a joy to work with and very fast with her work and any changes you need done. She really understands the look I was going for.
I would highly recommend her.
I have also pinned this to pinterest
I enjoyed the interview! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I think I'd use it in her shop, or to help customize my blog. Or, at least a new blog button!

I LOVE Sara's style and shop... have for years. :)
If I were to win this amazing giveaway, I would shop for items to brighten up our cottage!
Thanks, Maria!
Sara designed my blog and I also love visiting her blog and your lovely blog also. I'd love to win and go shopping at Sara's shop!
I love the Sadie Olive blog and have been following it for a couple of years now.
I love Sara's design work on different websites I have seen so I would use the $600 for a site design if I won!

If I won this giveaway, I would go crazy in her shop!!! She has soooo many beautiful things!!!
If I were to win the 600.00 from Sadie Olive, I would use it to buy some beautiful things to redo my bedroom. I love her style-details-warm relaxing creations. I would love to make by bedroom a place to get away from the rest of the world, a place to settle in and dream.
Thank you for your wonderful blog-I love looking at all of your pictures, ideas and thought. Much appreciated.

Oh my i love this! What a wonderful giveaway.
I would definitely do a design. That would be a great start for me to get blogging!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Love,
Maïsha
If I won the gift certificate I would use it for a blog design as I have been thinking of starting a blog and have always admired the design and feel of yours. I will post on my facebook page now!

Just shared n Facebook! Now I hope to win so I have help in setting up my very own blog!
I posted about the giveaway on my blog!
Thanks,

Would love to win to get our website up and running with some flair!
It would be hard to decide between having her help me with a website, an Etsy or just make purchases. All are things I would definitely like to do. Hope I get a chance to make that decision!!
I would like to use it for the carpetbag and a table runner, but I would probably do the "mom-thing" and give to my daughter to have a website designed. cdsmith322 at aol dot com
Wow! What a giveaway! I'd get the golden wire photo holder and the nesting wire baskets, for starters! Then I think I'd need to start a blog so I could use her design services!
Grain sack anything! Thanks for the great giveaway.
This is a wonderful and timely giveaway. I'm just getting ready to start my own online shop and I'd love to be able to have Sara design my site, and that's what I'd do if I'd win.
I shared the giveaway on my Facebook page. Thanks for the extra chance to win.
