Back to work

I haven't left for Tennessee yet, so back to work. No doubt my customers are not checking my blog to follow my personal life!
One of the uses of a blog is to show what's new -- and to give little perks to those who use it. So, here's the news. For those who are on Facebook and follow Friendly Spirit there, you will find a coupon to use for a discount. The same with my Twitter followers.

As for those who don't I can tell you about new products at my non-Bookplate shops. Two new product lines added this summer.

First is the ".......always Welcome" line. This was inspired by the sign I saw on the door of my son's new house, when helping his family move this summer. He and his wife went to Woodstock this summer (omg, shades of my past, 40 years ago this summer, my husband asked if I wanted to go and I turned him down because I didn't want to take our year old baby!)

I loved that poster and decided to add a whole line of " "Welcome always" to my line of non-bookplate items, including the Hippy offer, which I didn't see much of on-line.

So, here are some of my Welcome signs -- these aren't just signs of course - they come as shirts and postcards, and I a couple of bumperstickers. The Hippy design can be converted to whatever someone wants, so the word "Hippies" can be replaced.
The Grandchildren always Welcome postcard already got some favorable comments! I really love the idea of sending out a postcard with a matching stamp to the grandchildren, letting them know they are always welcome -- but the Cats always welcome is also appealing!






















And although it is a bit early, I've started on 2010 Calendars. Mine are almost all for booklovers - quotes and sayings of interest to booklovers. There's only one big one, a wall poster.



The rest are all sweet little pocket sized, or maybe slightly larger than pocket sized - postcard sized or greeting card sized. The prices are really nice - I know a lot of my customers like to buy inexpensive gifts to give as added gifts for friends, co-workers, family or book groups, and I think these will work. The Calendars can be seen here - I'll post more about them later, they really need their own spot!
