To Ohio…Again!

Today we head back to Ohio for our monthly visit! I thought I'd post with some news before we took off for a long weekend.

1. Another Lil' Johnny Muttoncakes is almost complete. I just have to close him up and he's good to go. I've been wanting to silkscreen the tags, but our printing process of late seems to be one obstacle after another. We've been having a helluva time getting the screens clean after printing, which I keep hearing is a pretty common problem. Andrew is almost to the point of throwing his hands up with the whole thing!

2. We had our little meeting at Exit9. The buyers weren't there but one of the owners looked at our stuff to get a feel for what we do. She seemed very optimistic about things, so we're going to forge ahead with our stuff and just keep trying to improve things until our next meeting after Labor Day. I've been working on new straps for some of our tote bags which I'll post pictures of soon.

Have a great weekend!

Fondly,

Lil' Johnny

We've been pretty productive with lots of deadlines on the horizon and new projects cropping up left and right. I thought I'd give you a look at the new character in the Toby Goodshank line. May I introduce Lil' Johnny Muttoncakes! He turned out better than I expected!

Tomorrow we're meeting up with the lovely folk at Exit9 here in NYC to see if they might like to carry some of our goods. They had asked to see our stuff after they saw our Lion tote that our friend Nan had bought. We've been going back and forth with them for awhile now, but our schedules have never been in sync until now. I didn't mention it before because I didn't want to jinx it, but I'm so excited that I thought I should share it. We've been working on stuff to show them, but I haven't had time to take pictures of anything. I'm crossing my fingers that they will like the stuff we made. You should check out their site (or if you're in the area, check out their store!) You can order online as well. They have wonderful and amazing stuff! Some of my personal favorites are:


Dart Coat Hooks (Original design by Anthony Chrisp)


Mushroom Kitchen Timer


Vestal Dolby Watch
