You’re here…now what? First,
let me start by introducing ourselves; you’ll notice that none of us are named
Kate…let alone ALL of us…to be dubbed the Traveling Kates. We are three awesome
friends that came together in friendship and collaboration; a blending of
businesses and talents, personalities and interests, who thought “Wouldn’t it
be nice if….” The rest, as they say, is history.
If you’ve scrolled back to the
beginning of where our blogging began, at the start of this year then you know
where we began and how we got to this point. (If not yet…you may want to go
back and see what we’ve been up to so far…go ahead, we’ll wait.)
My name is Gidget and I have
the perspective of Alice in Wonderland; I believe anything is possible, I never
look at something (or someone) as being done and not having another chapter in
them if given the chance, and I absolutely love bold colors, flamingos, plaid
as my neutral and cheetah is considered a staple in my tiny house. Yes…I am one
of THOSE people that lives simply in my 200sq feet and love it. I have five
degrees but the skillsets I use aren’t from anything I learned in a class 20
(or even 30) years ago; it’s just my crazy imagination and a different way of
looking at things. I am married to an aerospace engineer that can build
anything I dream up…and trust me, it comes in VERY handy. I am the one of the
three of us that has this affliction with vintage campers and interior design
so blogs you see about the transformations of our Kates will be from me, but
the design ideas aren’t always my own now that I have two others to bounce
ideas off of. My brand is called Curvy Kate by G and I also dabble in Wedding
Kate; wedding planning and dress design, along with props and backdrops for
events and weddings.
Now, for the Kates. The
Traveling Kates are actually two vintage campers that we are in the process of
renovating to become traveling boutiques. Glamour Kate is the smallest at 10ft
and she will be our beauty and wine bar. Imagine a rolling makeup studio that
can also host wine parties. AND, when she isn’t making women more fabulous and
giddy, she will be Reagan’s personal Love Crazy Kate; transformed into a tiny
little one woman shop for all things leather flower extraordinaire.
But that’s just the first Kate.
The second of our Traveling
Kates is Kate’s Closet; a 24ft rolling boutique that is like the best of walk
in closets…but on wheels. She will boast awesome lighting and hanging space for
clothing and THE most fabulous jeans you’ve ever worn. There will be sunnies
and hats and a brand new curvy collection. We will even have candles and a home
collection with great giftables for the taking. BUT, the best part about the
Traveling Kates, is that THEY come to YOU. Remember the days when our moms…or
even we, hosted Tupperware parties? Real life social events where we could get
together with our friends face to face and enjoy the company of others while
shopping for great things for our friends and families. The Traveling Kates
will host socials where you simply book an event and your very own traveling
boutique rolls to your front step. That definitely takes it up a notch from
Tupperware parties or even the single woman trunk shows, don’t ya think? I
promise you that there is nothing like it in the Tulsa area…and even in
Oklahoma. This is more than the occasional vintage camper that you see stuffed
full of arts and crafts at a craft faire; this is a boutique in EVERY sense of
the word that just happens to be on wheels and comes to you. Most boutiques
close at 6p and are closed on Sundays and Mondays; making it difficult to stop
by on the way home from work or after church. If you host a social of your own,
you get to host on available dates in the evening or in afternoons. Maybe we
could even roll up to an office parking lot and offer shopping on your lunch
break for friends and coworkers; the options are endless.
You’re welcome.
