Welcome to the Shit Show

Welcome to Tumblers and Trash Talk: Where Chaos Meets Craft, and Sass is Always in Style. Hey! I’m so pumped you’re here—and honestly, a little surprised I’m even getting this post up between the crazy that is my life. But that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?

My name’s Andrea, and I’m the heart, soul, glitter-covered hands, and probably the loud voice yelling “WHERE’S THE VINYL?!” behind Tumblers and Trash Talk and 207 Customs. This little corner of creative chaos is my happy place—and soon, I hope it’s yours too.

Let’s be real: I didn’t grow up dreaming of running a business while covered in epoxy and caffeine. Life handed me a lot of roles—mom, caregiver, chaos coordinator, multitasker extraordinaire—and somewhere along the way, I realized I needed a role just for me. A space to be bold. To create. To be unapologetically myself. That’s how 207 Customs was born. The Brand At 207 Customs – we don’t do boring. We do bold. We do sassy. We do loud. If you’re looking for soft neutrals and polite quotes about “living, laughing, and loving,” you’re probably in the wrong place (but I’ll still hug you on the way out). What we do make is: • Custom tumblers that speak fluent sarcasm (and yes, they’ll keep your iced coffee alive during dance recitals and grocery trips). • T-shirts and sweatshirts that say what you’re thinking (without getting you kicked out of the PTA). • Personalized gifts that are as unique and spicy as the people you’re buying them for. • And a whole lot of handmade magic, because everything that leaves my workspace has been made with heart, hustle, and usually a soundtrack of chaos in the background. Everything I make is designed to bring joy, laughter, or a little attitude into your everyday life. Because honestly, we’re all juggling too much, and we deserve to have things around us that make us smile—or snort-laugh. That counts too. The Life Behind the Brand Let me give you a peek behind the glitter curtain: I’m a mom first, business badass second, and everything else somewhere in between. My days are packed with snacks, school runs, and last-minute Walmart runs (because I definitely didn’t forget poster board again, right?). I squeeze in work in the margins—during naps, late nights, and that golden hour when everyone’s finally quiet for five minutes. This business is my outlet. It’s where I get to play with color, throw sass around like confetti, and connect with other people who are just as tired but still out here doing the damn thing. I may not have it all figured out (who does?), but I do have a wild amount of passion, a glue gun that never sleeps, and a dream that keeps growing—just like the pile of laundry in my hallway.

Why 207 Customs? Born and raised in the 207, baby! Maine is in my blood—strong, stubborn, and a little weird (in the best way). I wanted a name that stayed true to my roots while still leaving room for me to grow—and let’s be honest, 207 just has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

What You Can Expect Here, this blog is going to be a mix of:

• Behind-the-scenes chaos from the workshop

• Real-life mom/business stories because let’s be honest, we’re all in this mess together

• New product launches, restocks, and sneak peeks

• Tips & tricks for fellow creatives and DIYers

• And a whole lot of real talk with a heavy sprinkle of sass So whether you’re a fellow mom, a fellow maker, or just someone who appreciates a good tumbler and a better punchline—you’re welcome here. I’m so damn glad you found me. Stick around. Say hi. Bring snacks if you can. And remember: life’s too short for boring cups and basic tees.

Crafted with Chaos and Coffee,
