Featured Seller: SarahHolsapple


Who are you?
Nice Shirt Kid, Sarah Holsapple

Where are you located?

Durham

What do you create?
T-shirts and onesies for kids and babies.


What is your favorite place to visit in the Triangle?
I love taking the kids to Duke Gardens. When I'm feeling a bit frazzled it's nice to get out there and let the 4 year old run and get some of his energy out while the baby naps in the stroller and I get a chance to relax and enjoy the sights and smells and sounds of the gardens. The boy loves to feed corn to the ducks but the baby is a bit scared of them.

What inspires you?
My kids do. I started making tees for my son because I couldn't find anything cool and different for him to wear. Once I had the baby I started designing things for her too.

Where do you create?
There is a little tiny weird space in our bedroom that has a closet full of shelves and enough room for a desk and a chair. I found one of those old metal school teacher type desks by the side of the road when we first moved here and spray painted it yellow. I spread things out our bed to dry so I have to print in the morning so that they are dry by bedtime.

What are your goals?
I want to raise happy, healthy and honest children and sell some shirts along the way.

What do you do when you are not creating?
Take care of the baby, take care of the 4 year old. Take care of the house. Run. Play.

  6. Your stuff is great! Hopefully soon we'll have a little one and I'll know where to look for cute clothes.

    The smile on your little boy's face is priceless.
