We are Melina and Denise, two best friends in Canada who work well together and started a business. Denise is from Moncton, New Brusnwick, has an English degree, mad jewelry skills and a laugh that can be heard for miles. Melina is from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia and went to art school (painting), loves to sew and has a penchant for dancing and singing badly in public.
How did you decide on your shop name?
The name comes from both of us. Moody is the name of Melina’s grandpa, who was very moody, but oddly supportive of the sewing. Sanguine shows Densie’s love of words, it means both bloody and peaceful.
Why did you start your business?
It was only a matter of time before it occurred to us to work together. We have similar tastes, not the same, but totally the same page.
Do you have anything new you plan on adding to your store?
We are always thinking of what is next. There will be more hair accessories, Melina is working on new bags of her own design, and Denise is whipping up some fun spring/summer-y things as we speak.
What is your favorite thing about being a seller?
Being kitty moms, we love working from home. As we both have part-time jobs, we can work anytime we want. Which is good as we are both night owls.
Do you have a blog, twitter, or facebook page?
You can find our blog at http://moodyandsanguine.blogspot.com/, and our twitter page is at http://twitter.com/ and we have a Facebook fan page too, http://www.facebook.com/moodyandsanguine?ref=sgm .
What inspires you to make the items in your shop?
Melina says she loves making her new clutches, and they are soooooo cute. Denise thinks that anything that has a more medieval or renaissance quality about them.If you check it out and leave me a link to your favorite item you may have 3 Extra Entries into any of my giveaways!
