Sail to Sable is a stylish, women’s apparel line that was designed by Jennifer Stocker, who is the Associate Director of Creative Services at popular GQ Magazine. She was also the former Merchandising Manager for Lucky magazine.

The Sail to Sable collection was first introduced in 2012 and the inspiration behind the fashion brand was
Stocker’s early childhood when she grew up near the water in Darien, Connecticut.

It’s a perfect match of “chic meets prep.”  This beautiful clothing collection includes classic tunic dresses, light-weight cover ups, flirty party tunic dresses and fabulous maxi tunics.

With a love for warm weather, the Sail to Sable collection was inspired by stripes, salty water, coral, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, bright and bold fabrics. It just screams summer!

Jennifer Stocker combined her distinct fashionable yet classic style along with her industry background, to create a lifestyle brand that was stimulated by the elements that reminded her of all things summer.

The meaning behind naming her company Sail to Sable is a clever one. It represents the Easternmost (Sail Rock, Maine) and Southernmost (Cape Sable, Florida) towns on the Eastern Seaboard.

The entire Sail to Sable collection can be purchased at select boutiques around the U.S. and online ($188-$248 for adult tunics and $58 for children tunics).

This is an opportunity to own a truly unique collection. Thomas Black has put his personal tennis collection – TSB Tennis – up for sale.

Thomas has been collecting tennis memorabilia for over two decades and you’d be hard pressed to locate anyone with more sporting antique knowledge than he does.

This special tennis collection consists of 147 unique tennis racquets, and includes two Thomas Tate racquets. Additional tennis pieces include racquets with fishtails, fantails and bantails. This collection surely tells a story of the development of the tennis racquet through history.

Thomas’ love of collecting began in golf, where he built a substantial collection of memorabilia before it was sold on by Christie’s at Pebble Beach, USA. Next he focused on the sport of tennis and his private tennis collection is completely unique in every sense.

There’s no doubt that the incredible level of quality runs through all of the items. Each hand picked by a man of true knowledge, vision and with an exceptional eye for detail.

It’s definitely one of the most valuable collections anywhere in the world, both in historical and financial terms. I doubt it will ever be matched again due to fact a collection of this size is so rare and the disposable nature of today’s tennis racquets.

Thomas Black was quoted, “In today’s world it would be impossible to accumulate a collection with so much depth and interesting original pieces. It is certainly a complete anthology of tennis.”

The TSB Tennis collection is made of tennis related art, racquets, metal figures, bronzes, some silver items and tennis presses. A number of racquets alone are individually estimated at over £10,000.

It will just as rare to see the collection as less than 30 people will see the TSB Tennis and only one will be able to own the unique and personal story it tells.

The Thomas Black tennis collection has been valued at over £400,000 but, as one of the largest and oldest collections in the world and with the current disposable tennis culture, this collection is priceless for any savvy buyer.

Nobody has to tell us that we’re enduring some very troubling economics times. Instead of complaining, let’s buckle down and learn from what we’re experiencing.

These days, the importance of money is at an all time high. The economic crisis is hitting many of us very hard. So it’s very important that we are prepared for anything that it might bring along with it. Teaching our own children to appreciate money and the value of money is one important way to make the financial crisis a good family bonding experience.

You, of all people, should know how much a budget can make or break your household’s financial balance.

It’s really important for everyone to learn how to budget and not waste their money on useless stuff. By teaching your kids how to better appreciate money, then you are actually helping them become better citizens, better adults in the future.

Saving is a good and simple way to begin your children’s lesson in finances. You have to make sure that you point out all of the benefits that these things do for them like it helps them prepare for something that they might need money for in the future. Whether it be something that they want to buy or some other thing they want to spend their money on, you can actually tell them all of these things to convince them that saving money today is never a bad idea.

You can let them participate when it comes to planning out the household budget as well. This makes them feel more part of the family because it lets them get involved in adult matters. It teaches them responsibility and that there are certain things that need to be prioritized over others. It also shows them that money is not something that they can have whenever they want.

Another great idea is to have them start their own small business. It could be mowing the lawn of the neighborhood, if they’re old enough, or it could be something that they enjoy altogether. For example, joining you in you rown business or store where they can sell some of the products of their hobbies for a price.

If your kids can learn all the good things that money brings, you can also teach them to become more responsible adults in the future. You should be careful never to overindulge as this might bring about a spending spree from your kids which, in light of the recent crises, you surely do not want happening.
