The past week it really began to seem like spring here in Michigan, and Dan and I started talking about how great it would be to take bike rides around the neighborhood again. I was thinking of getting a new bike this year, since my bike needed quite a lot of work done to it. Fate brought a sale at the bike shop this weekend, and I crushed on this obnoxious green bike and the “Flat Foot Technology” (I call it “I can comfortably reach the ground”), internal gearing and the disc brakes. I envisioned me riding it to the post office each day to ship out orders and knew it needed to be mine! We brought it home and gave it a spin last night - it’s true love.

It’s going to be a great spring and summer!

A couple of months ago I was able to find a great woman mannequin on Craigslist for a steal. I originally got her to use as a display at shows we would be selling at in the future, but after looking at her for a few days in the office I thought she would be useful at modeling women’s sized T shirts. Then it struck me that I should get a boyfriend for her that could model our mens T shirts too. I spent weeks looking for a used one, and on Monday took a look around on Ebay. I found her a mate with a stand and he came in the mail today.

Now it will be much easier for everyone to see the size and fit of our T shirts than it was with them pictured on the rod. Look for new T shirts up on the site this way next week, and we’ll begin slowly reposting new pictures of the T shirts already on the site soon too!
