Starting the day with my favorite parade.

Happy Thanksgiving
November 26th, 2009 by CynthiaAn American tradition
November 23rd, 2009 by CynthiaI love Thanksgiving. I can start the day watching a parade on tv and spend the rest of the day eating. And then there’s shopping, shopping, shopping. And now that I have a webstore, I can participate in the festivities by holding a sale of my own! For Thanksgiving weekend (November 26-30), the entire store will be 15% off. Originally, the sale was only to be on Friday, but when I tried to strategize my own post-holiday shopping agenda, I realized one-day sales are actually pretty hard to navigate. So I decided to extend the sale throughout the whole weekend. Just thinking about it puts me in a holiday mood! Now I will return to my shopping exercises: elbowing other shoppers out of the way and snatching everything in sight.
New products for the holidays
November 16th, 2009 by Cynthia
Inspired by a request from our real estate agent, I have made some magnets especially for the holidays. They come in a tin with a window and a card so the whole thing can serve as a greeting card/present. I was especially pleased with this idea since it’s perfect for the times when you want to send more than a card, but less than a full-blown present. The politics of gift-and-card exchanges are much more complicated than I can handle, but I’m glad to at least have this option at hand.
View our (not especially nerdy) selection here. (For the geeks out there, I’m considering expanding this line of gift tins so stay tuned.)
November newsletter
November 2nd, 2009 by CynthiaFor those that subscribe to our newsletter, this will be old news. For those that don’t subscribe, let’s remedy that right now.
Here are the highlights from our November newsletter:
Now that pesky Halloween is behind us, let us focus on the real extravaganza: Christmas. To celebrate, we have new products for the holidays.
-iPhone icons in gingerbread the same ones pictured in the previous post. They’re available now. If you don’t want the entire set, you can pick your favorites to make your own set of four too.
-Game console Christmas ornaments including the wii, PS3, and xbox 360. I’m really pleased with how these turned out. They look so cute hanging from a branch, as you can see from our pictures.
Our winter packaging will be available on the day after Thanksgiving: November 27. Which incidentally, is also the biggest shopping day of the year for us Americans. To celebrate Black Friday, everything in the store will be 15% off. This sale will last for one day only from midnight to midnight PST.
Holiday sneak peek
October 29th, 2009 by CynthiaI’ve been working like an elf making these gingerbread iPhone magnets:
I tried to take each icon and think of how to represent it with candy and frosting. Of course, the ‘candy,’ ‘frosting,’ and ‘gingerbread’ are all clay so they won’t attract nibblers. They won’t be in our store until November 2, so this is just a preview. I’m also making some game console ornaments for the holidays.
