WORKING FROM HOME


Cats have a way of sitting on things you need, like your keyboard, or phone, the book you're reading, etc. Today, Cleo has confiscated my notebook.

That's the face of a cat that doesn't want to be moved.

PACKAGING - in store


Displaying Coffee Cozies in store has a slight disadvantage in presentation without a the coffee cup. Although there are possible solutions such as buying paper cups, and printing detailed tags or packaging, opting for a display method with simple materials is preferable.

By cutting a coffee cup silhouette from the cardboard backing of old notebooks, the coffee cozy well illustrated, while also being a fairly good reuse of materials.

NEW STUFF - custom orders


There are some new variations of products inspired by the custom requests.

From my first German customer, a variation of the Form Follows Coffee Cozy in gray with white print. I like the clean, minimalist new look.


A customer interested in the ABCD coasters hoped for a set of eight rather than four. We decided to do coasters with numbers 1-8.

These had such a great industrial feel, and now coasters numbered 1-4 are part of the product line.


One customer requested Mine Yours coasters as a set of 4, with one Mine and three Yours coasters. After another customer followed their request, they've been added to the line as well.


Those are some recent additions, but more to come for the Holiday season!
