    Apparel- Body Covers

    Laconia

     

    Nestled in the heart of Laconia, New Hampshire, Body Covers Screen-printing is more than just a shop; it's a testament to passion, dedication, and a love for creativity. Founded in 1989 by Peter Coldwell and Betsy Spencer, this thriving business started in a humble basement in Manchester, hand-painting their first few orders before eventually expanding to the vibrant lakes region.

    The journey of Body Covers is one of growth and community. When Peter and Betsy sought to expand, they found a home in Laconia, where they continued to foster their craft. Fast forward to today, and Body Covers has become a staple in the region, known for their exceptional service and quality prints.

    But what truly sets Body Covers apart is the story behind its current owners, Aaron Gray and Sarah Matson-Jones. Aaron, an NHCTC graduate with dreams of owning his own shop, crossed paths with Sarah during their studies in graphic arts. Together, they shared a vision, and despite the curveballs life threw their way, they seized the opportunity to take over Body Covers in 2003.

    Since then, Aaron and Sarah have not only upheld the legacy of Body Covers but have also propelled it to new heights. Their dedication to their craft and the community is evident in every print and every interaction.

    At Body Covers, whether you're a local business looking to make a statement or an individual seeking custom apparel, you're more than just a customer; you're part of the family. So, the next time you're in Laconia, swing by Body Covers Screen-printing at O'shea Industrial Park and experience the magic for yourself.

    Brie has always been a devoted enthusiast of the Lake Life lifestyle, with an unwavering passion for New Hampshire and its charming Lakes Region. She thrives in this dynamic, ever-evolving environment and considers herself fortunate to have spent her formative years along the shores of Lake Kanasatka in Moultonborough before embarking on her journey to Lake Winnipesaukee. Brie's early exposure to these pristine lakes ignited her fascination with real estate, setting her on a path of discovery that began as a young teenager. At just 13 years old, she was already cruising Lake Winnipesaukee aboard her Boston Whaler, armed with a camera and real estate magazines, on a mission to study and compare homes. Her family's roots in the region trace back to the 1800s, further deepening her connection to this beautiful area. But it's not just the real estate that captivates Brie; it's the water itself. Her favorite summer pastime is immersing herself in the water and indulging in water sports. Brie's passion for wake surfing is well-known, and she often extends invitations to others to join her on her boat, where she imparts her expertise and shares the joy of cruising Lake Winnipesaukee. As the captain of her vessel, she now cherishes the experience of passing on this love for the water to her daughter, Summer Stephens, all while their loyal golden retriever, Braun, enjoys the wind's embrace from the bow. In Moultonborough, Brie is deeply engaged within her community. She dedicates herself to showcasing local businesses and highlights her husband's company, Stephens Landscaping, and its remarkable projects throughout the lakes and mountains. As a member of the NH & Lakes Region Home Builders Association, she holds the role of Vice President of Affiliates on the Executive Board and has co-chaired their annual Parade of Homes event for seven consecutive years. Brie has also served as a public official on the Town of Moultonborough's Planning Board for three years and sits as a board member for the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce. Notably, Brie's Client Choice Charity Program reflects her commitment to giving back. She pledges a portion of every real estate commission to a charity of her clients' choice, demonstrating her dedication to enriching the Lakes and Mountains of Central New Hampshire, both personally and philanthropically. In every aspect of her life, Brie embodies the spirit of living, loving, excelling, and generously giving back to her cherished community.
