(Yayyyyy! I can finally tell you!)
Hello friends! Today I'm happy to expose the underground project I've been working on with my twin sister, Heidi, for almost a year now. We've kept our side biz pretty hush hush as we needed to place our accessory products in the hands of the right buyers/showrooms, magazines and influentials before we exposed our idea to the web world.
Our accessory company is called True Birds. We've been calling each other 'bird' for many years and thought the name fitting! We had a big vision of a business idea and limited time with newlywedness, work endeavors, moves and the sort but after lots of passion, designing, fabric districting, midnight sewing, marketing, graphicking, photoshooting,web-site-ing (I just made up a slew of 'ing' words!)and the like we have come out just in time for the last of the Christmas shopping! Yahoo!
We've struck some luck with a great buzz about the product. We're in numerous boutiques from Beverly Hills to the N.Y.C., have had some celebrity requests for True Birds from the likes of Mamma Mia's star, Amanda Siegfried as well as the writer of JUNO, Diablo Cody. We also just recently had a request for a meeting with the hair accessory buyer from Henri Bendel which will be held next month. We've been so blessed and we love how it is all naturally taking flight!
So, we want to spread a little Christmas Cheer! We're offering a 40% off coupon for all orders until December 31, 2008. This coupon is for our family and friends and their family and friends so feel free to share it!
If you want to get an additional 10% off to get a total of 50% off your entire order its easy! All you have to do is post something about True Birds on your blog and/or facebook, send us a link of your post to truebirds@gmail.com and we'll immediately send you your 50% off coupon for your entire order as well as our much appreciation and email smile :).
fyi: All of our accessories are almost up! For the next couple of days the only items you can purchase through the website are the adult 'soft bands' and 'baby bands' because the others aren't linked for sale yet. If you would like to order others that don't have the link to buy online you can email us your order and phone number and we can do a paypal order via phone. Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many thanks go to our so supportive husbands for letting us run with our dream, be our biggest fans, let us leave glitter, feathers, sequins and needles--ouch!--everywhere and also for backing us up financially in the state of the economy. Our sister Sandy has also been a true inspiration as one of our photographers, idea bouncers and super big fan. She's been with us all the way and so have her daughters, our darling nieces, who actually inspired us to create our Baby Birds line so younger heads of hair could have hip headwear too. Our sweet Mom and Dad and mother-in-law's have been so kind, supportive and interested, thank you! As well as our Grandparents and cousin Em. We also couldn't have looked profesh and all without the talents of Mariah and Nina, our two dedicated, talented and super rad photographers and our many willing friends that were able to model. Thank you ALL!
By the way, Heather and I don't enjoy 'modeling' our own products on the website but you do what you gotta do to cut costs! No offense taken if you get sick of seeing our faces dawn the products, we get sick of seeing our faces on there too!
I'm excited to finally share this with you!
Happy Holidays!
