A few weeks ago one of the local news stations, WLUK-Fox 11, came out to our building to write a story on our company.  There was definitely a different buzz in the air, mostly excitement but also a bit of nervous excitement too.  It was a fun morning meeting Rachel Manek and smiling for the camera!  The segment aired this past week, but if you missed it you can catch it here.

We received a lot of great feedback after the segment and are thankful that Fox 11 chose to run our story.  Such a fun experience for our company and a great way to let the community know how passionate we are!

Gallery Walk 0shkosh

On November 5^th, we had the opportunity to participate in the Downtown Oshkosh Gallery Walk.  The first Saturday of every month, our downtown comes alive with a variety of showcased art. Thirty to fourty downtown businesses participate in the walk each month.  On this particular Saturday, we set up at Limelite Photography Studios to feature some items from our fall and holiday line.

November’s walk was themed  “the progression of art.” and to show how our products have progressed over the years we showcased all of our catalogs. From our very first brochure to our catalog today.  We showed the beginning to end transformation of our holiday sweater skirt and featured some of the original hand drawn artwork used on our organic t-shirts.   We also featured our suite totes and how the parts of a men’s sport jacket are used to create them.

All-in-all the event was a wonderful success!  We had over 100 people walk through!  A great night that we hope to repeat with our spring 2012 line!

Yarn Bombing!  Also known, as graffiti knitting is a phenomenon taking the country by storm.

Let me start by giving you a bit of background. Knitters are quietly leaving their mark on city streets, buses and even nature.  Breathing life and brightness into ordinary everyday eyesores.   I can’t get over how beautiful this whole movement really is.  These women or men do this “graffiti” during the night and as the sun comes up their artwork is revealed to the world! Yarn bombing is considered to be illegal but there have yet to be any prosecutions because the art/graffiti can easily be removed.

Pretty cool, right?

Recently, I came to find out that one of our seamstresses yarn bombed a small rabbit weight in our office. Doesn’t the little guy look cozy?!

So take a look around, maybe an object near you has been yarn bombed!  We would like to come up with another fun object to yarn bomb at our office, perhaps our front door handle or maybe our mailbox.  Whatever it is, we’ll be sure to post pictures. Have a great day!
