Stripes & Glasses

Stripes and glasses have been a prominent theme of late... as you can see by some of the newest things in the shop.




More things coming to the shop soon. The last several weeks we've all been recovering from a rather nasty cold so it's been kind of slow going. And now Whitney just picked up another bug, so it may get quiet again around here.  Wishing everyone a healthy and happy Weekend!

A Friend Down Under

I'm a day late with my announcing the winner of my latest giveaway...

so without further ado, the recipient of both kitty tees is the very sweet Helena, a really lovely artist from down under, who also happened to be the sole giveaway commenter. Her gift ideas for a new daddy were fantastic though, and I will hopefully get around to at least one of them before this coming Sunday.

This week on the work front, I'm hoping to get some more screen printing done, keep up with shop orders and get stock sent out to a new shop. On the home front, if I can keep Whitney on her daily routine of rising no earlier than 7 am and to bed by 8, with 3 good naps a day, it will have been a great week!

Wishing everyone else a great one too! Bye for now.

Papa Needs a Brand New Tee

If there's one thing that gets my goat, it's people who contact me asking for things and then never follow through with either making a purchase or in a particular recent case, giving me further info as to where to send my product(s). Especially since my time is pretty precious these days.

But I'll just chalk it up to their loss.


And possibly your (my readers) gain.


Since I am sort of stuck with some limited edition merchandise
(well, not really, as I could just list them in my etsy shop), I thought why not do another giveaway? It's been ages and as I had planned on doing one each month, this is the perfect time, albeit a bit close, to do one for Father's Day.

For the men in your life who are cat lovers, I am giving away to 2 lucky readers, a pirate kitty short sleeve tee and mustache kitty short sleeve tee. I only have large sizes available, so they may or may not fit your dad/husband/boyfriend/friend/grandpa/etc. Don't let that stop you from entering the giveaway though. Who doesn't want another t-shirt? They are unisex, after all, so you could keep them for yourself too, as a p.j. tee or just to wear around the house if (it's too big).

They are American Apparel tees in these two styles:

(unisex version which seems to be discontinued now)

To enter the giveaway: all you have to do is leave a comment with a great Father's Day gift suggestion. This time around, I will pick the best answers (in my humble opinion) rather than doing a random draw. You have until the end of Sunday, June 13, 12 a.m. EST to enter. I will announce the winners on Monday. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you. This is open to readers everywhere!

Unfortunately I can't guarantee that you will receive the tees in time for Father's Day, but then I expect most of you already have gifts to give your dads.

In other news, our little Whit-Whit is five months old today! She is our sweetheart.

Hello on Sunday Morning


First off, a very Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I just sent mine the e-card above (yes, I'm terrible at mailing cards these days) and will be calling him later today too.

Secondly, thank you to all those who've entered my blog giveaway either by leaving a comment or
joining my Happy Customers Flickr Group. I love hearing about people's favourite ice cream. My personal fave at the moment is Breyers double churned Cookies 'n Cream. It is absolutely the creamiest ice cream I've ever had, but without being overly gross. And I think it's supposed to have half the fat as the regular Breyers. Don't quote me on that though.


Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I was
awarded the "One Lovely Blog Award" by Julie, a very sweet fellow blogger. As the recipient of this award, I must now pass it on to 15 other blogs that I've newly discovered. Not all the blogs that I've chosen are ones that I've just discovered, but they are lovely blogs and in my opinion, deserve the award.

In alphabetical order, they are:

blacklilypie
fantastical world of holidays
green island studios
hawaii kawaii
jake and micah
modern cat
moxiecupcake
peng peng's place
pretty good
structured chaos
susie's letter-box
the life pursuit: san smith
three red trees
tinys
yellow goat design & all things beautiful

I will be contacting these bloggers either later today or tomorrow to let them know about this honour.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
