Your Favorite Aunt Is Getting a Makeover

Beepinframe Yes, it's true. As of February, Aunt Beep is getting an overhaul. Like the woman who inspired the site, Aunt Beep is constantly reinventing itself and evolving as need times and desires change. The creative, unpredictable blog we've come to love will be expanding its horizons (and its reader base, I'll venture to bet) in '07.

What (or who) is Aunt Beep? Imagine having your best pal save you the trouble of surfing the web and sorting out life's discoveries - and then telling you her findings so you don't have to discover those answers on your own. It's a bit like the with equal doses of style, design and technology thrown in for good measure. But don't take my word for it, hear what owner Tracey Tee has to say about the inspiration for the site:

"My Great Aunt Beep knew how to shop. The woman could walk into just about any store and find something she just had to have. Aunt Beep never bought just one of anything. If she saw something she liked she bought one in each color and each size.

Beep had a thing for tacky- no one would ever deny that...

Beep loved glamour...

She also had a flair for the unusual...

So today, living in the same bizarre city she once called home, and possessed with the temptation of the original, the perfect, and the fabulous shopping find, I bring to you Aunt Beep. My parameters are few: just a vision to house a place where artists and designers can have a chance to sell their wares, and the consumer can have the opportunity to buy "one in every color" knowing she might not find something like this anywhere else."

I think there's a little Aunt Beep in all of us, and that explains much of the blog's success. But mostly I credit Tracey for always having her eye on the horizon and taking time to share the details of her adventures along the way. If you're looking for a great read, sign up for her RSS feed. You won't be sorry!
