USPTO and Government Business

There was I, counting the hours until the New Year celebration can begin, when all of a sudden, a .gov email pops into my inbox. Who could this be? Somebody is actually working this week? I am not the only one?

Once I summoned the courage to open it, it turns out it was an official notice from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that our trademark application HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!

OMG!!!!

How's that for a surprise?!? Happy New Year to me!

Another Etsy Treasury!

I can't keep count anymore. This is fabulous!

Thanks to Meg from ME2Designs for including me in her picks.

Happy New Year!

Can you tell I am totally enjoying the new photo processing program?


The Christmas was so much fun for the kids. They, of course, are too young to know what happened, except that they could eat all the cookies that they could stomach and they got so many new toys, they are not sure what to do with them.

Nothing new on the Woolly Boo front, though. Very happy even our customers took a little break from shopping. But, don't stay away for too long - the really cold days are coming.

Also, stand by for a special announcement - we are taking part in a very cool charitable event in NYC, courtesy of Martha Stewart. And, yes, I will keep you guessing until the New Year!

Have a happy one!

Merry Christmas to all!

We'll take a little break from the blog over Christmas, unless something so interesting happens that we simply have to tell you about it.

So, Merry Christmas to all, and let's catch up next week!

The Flickr link is not working for some reason

I have to figure that one out. Well, with all this snow and no place to go, I will have plenty of time to do that.

In the mean time, I spent the day downloading, uploading, and backing up thousands of photos. That's how I noticed the glitch in Flickr app for Blogger, in the first place. In the mean time, here is the direct link for the photos from the Handmade in New York craft fair we took part in last Saturday. Enjoy!

When it rains...

craftgawker, a gallery blog, is featuring us in the Children's section. Check it out.

Truly an honor. Thanks guys.

We made it...

... to the Try Handmade(TM) Gallery. How cool is that.

The Try Handmade blog is juried, so this makes it an even bigger honor.

New Photos Preview!

Cool, right?



My thanks to Walter for making my products look as good as they are!

Handmade in New York!

Was tons of fun. I'll share the photos just as soon as I create some space on the computer to store them. Long story.

Thanks everyone who came by to say hello. We appreciate the support.

Cheers!

Getting ready for NYC, baby!

Just finished loading up the car for tomorrow. I actually have a little bit of anxiety, strangely enough. Hopefully, everything will be alright. And most importantly, we'll have a good time, meet some cool people, and learn a few things. I'm saying "we", since my sister will be joining me for the day. Yay!

Wish me luck!

P.S. I have actually remembered to pack batteries this time, so you might actually see some images from this show. If I remember to take them.

Happy Hanukkah!

To all my dear friends celebrating this wonderful holiday of lights, have a Happy Hanukkah!

Recovery

I am now officially in recovery. Yesterday's show was a lot of fun, but I have to say, socializing takes out so much out of you. Unbelievable!

It has to be said, the venue was beautiful. The church was old, and Nordic-inspired. The space, and my booth in particular, were in the great spot. Organizers decorated the room nicely, other vendors were so talented, friendly and inspiring... All in all, very happy. And the Woolly Boo logo caused so much stir, that one of the teenage bands that performed wanted to buy my banner. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Well, not that long. Maybe a week.

Thanks for everyone who stopped by. It was great seeing you.

And, yeah, happy first snow of the season.

Wordless Wednesday!

Well, a few words. We made it another Etsy Treasury! Yeah! So, click here and check us out...

FREE Shop-at-Home Service!

Or shop at my home!

With the new office/showroom finished (finally), I have a place to host all those that maybe feel uncomfortable inviting a stranger to their home. Photos will come shortly. I just need to assemble all the IKEA furniture :) I know, we're talking January now, right?

In any event, the Shop-at-Home service will give you an opportunity to see the Woolly Boo products without leaving the comfort of your home. If the kids are napping, I will be extra quiet - I understand. I will come to your house with all the samples and all the fabric swatches, so you get to touch and feel everything before you commit to purchasing.

No purchase necessary.
