Mesh's 2nd Birthday Party!

Summer Update

Hi guys! Life at Mesh has been pretty hectic lately, but we've got lots of great things coming up that we think you all will be very excited about.

As most of you know, our 2nd birthday is coming up this August, and just like last year we plan on celebrating with a big party and SALE for all of our great customers. We will have all the details by next week.

Also, Jenny and I are proud to announce our new jewelry line, Say It, which is finally on the shelves at Mesh. All pieces are 100% sterling silver and hand stamped. They can be customized for any occasion and the best part is that they start at around $25. I've included some pictures below.

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Hey guys and gals!

This week at Mesh we have started our countdown to Valentine's Day. Do you know what you'll be getting your significant other this year? If no, you're in luck. We have lots of great gift ideas at even better prices.


In honor of Valentine's Day, all jewelry is on sale. We have all different styles to fit all different tastes. This necklace and bracelet below are from Studio M Jewelry by Sylvia McAllister. All of her pieces are hand hammered sterling silver and some include semi-precious stones.


Also we have a great selection of gorgeous, vintage lingerie and hair accessories from Say Ooh. This is for the girl who wants something more than a nighty from Victoria's Secret. This is lingerie with personality, and women will definitely appreciate that!

And ladies, if you're looking for something for the man in your life, we just might have something for you too! We have wonderful handmade soaps with some manly scents including our famous "beer soap." Also, we have a great line of hand painted silk ties.

I'll update tomorrow with some more jewelry and a couple more gift ideas, but this should be enough to get started. Hope to see you all soon!

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Melissa Marsch-Walblay sells her beautiful silk pieces in our store. For the month of October she is donating 35% of her sales to a Domestic Violence shelter in Bowling Green, KY. Here is what she has to say...


October is Domestic Violence Awareness...

Domestic violence should not happen to anybody. My goal is to help inform or aid in the awareness of abused women. This is an area that is too often overlooked, dismissed, or too difficult to comprehend. Domestic violence can happen in any home, lifestyle, or education level.

I am dedicating 35% of my sales this month, to a local shelter for abused women. Facilities such as these are needed to give shelter, legal advice, and information to any abused woman. With the aid of the advocates they provide, many women find the strength to continue the battle. This is a system that focuses on the victim and her family. Confidentiality and safety are their top priority. Too many women would not make it through the battle if it were not for the support, encouragement and belief these workers give.

Please help me continue to support our local shelters. For more information of Marsch Inspiration, visit www.melissamarschwalblay.com. For more information on Domestic Violence and what we can do to help, visit www.domesticviolence.org.

Blessing,

Melissa Marsch-Walblay


You can check out many of Melissa's pieces in our store. Right now we features tops, tunics, wraps, scarves and ties. All of the pieces are 100% silk and hand painted. Each piece is completely unique.

Fall For The Arts

Hey guys! There is a great art event coming up at Vanderbilt this weekend and we wanted to let you know about it. One of our artists, Audry Deal, will be there selling lots of great pieces like the one above. Here is a little info about it...


“Fall for the Arts” is an interactive trans-artistic exploration of print, paint, sound, shape, motion, taste, and perception. Taking place in tents across the outdoor spaces of The Commons and Peabody lawns, and Cohen Gallery, "Fall For the Arts" is an expansive experience open to everyone.

The event, to be held on Oct. 9th from 4:00 to 8:00pm, will feature student dance and music performances, an art exhibition, art demonstrations, interactive art opportunities, literary readings, a "poetry car" and fabulous food. The newly-renovated Cohen Hall which houses Vanderbilt’s Fine Art Gallery will be open for tours showcasing a wide range of work--from ancient red-ware Greek pottery, to archaic Chinese funerary art, to a selection of contemporary works of art. In addition, original student films will be presented throughout the evening in the Cohen building.


Hope you guys can check it out! We also features lots of Audry's handmade goods in the store. She makes lots of vases, plates, coasters, soap dishes (goes perfectly with our lovely paos soap), flower pots, beanies, and scarves. She is just a woman of many talents and we're so glad to have her as a part of Mesh!

Also, I wanted to include a soap update. For those of you who don't know, Jenny and I make our own soap, called Paos. (Yes, that is "soap" spelled backwards. Clever.) We made our holiday scent this weekend. I'm not telling what it is until I can post pictures but I'll give you a hint. It smells like something straight out of your kitchen. Yummy. Pics to follow soon.

Art Life by Juli Schumann

New hanging plaques we are carrying in the store! They are part of a line called Art Life by Juli Schumann. These cute little plaques measure 4" x 4" and have lots of cute sayings. Plus, they're only $12.

You can check out more of our pottery here.

Also, you may have noticed that recently we've been mentioning lots of items under $20. As we get closer to the holiday season we are going to be featuring lots of gifts under $20. All of our artists and friends are on board and working super hard to bring lots of fun, new gift ideas to the store. So check back soon for more updates.
