Craft Lake City

We just got word that we have been accepted to be a participating artist at the 2010 Craft Lake City. We are so excited, we got to participate last year, which was the first year, and are loving that we get to do it again.

Mark August 14th on your calendars and plan to come down to buy fabulous handmade items from the designers themselves.

There's something in the air...

Yes, I have a twitter account. No, I am not very good at updating it on a regular basis. However, hopefully that will all change. If you are not currently following us on twitter I would strongly suggest that you jump on the bandwagon. We have decided to start running some secret promotions through our twitter account.

If you aren't already following us, go ahead and click on the twitter button on the sidebar and become a follower. Then keep checking our posts for our upcoming deals.

We're blowing up with new designs

The art department has been busy lately and we have even more new designs listed. Here is a small sampling of some of these designs. Check out our stores here and here for all of our new products.

Cupcakes!

If you know me, you know I love cupcakes. With that being the case, doesn't it make sense that we create a cupcake chalkboard decal?

Well, it's been done!

Whiteboards!!

Okay, so I know... It's been longer than a week since I posted my last post. Life got a little busy and I couldn't get my new items posted. But, I found some time and there are now Whiteboard vinyl decals listed in the Etsy shop.

This whiteboard vinyl is fabulous! I know not everyone is a chalkboard fan because of the dust that chalk makes, but who doesn't love a marker? As I mentioned before only dry erase markers can be used on this vinyl. Clean up is super easy! I was able to just wipe the marker off the vinyl with my finger.

Go check out the shop - and pick up a whiteboard for yourself! Although I may not have all of the sizes posted right now, they all are available. Custom sizes are available too!

Whiteboard Designs

I have a new product and will be listing the new items in my Etsy shop during the next week. What I have found is a whiteboard vinyl that I can cut my current chalkboard designs on. Although I love the chalkboard material I know that chalk is not ideal for some people, so I set out on a search to find vinyl that's intended purchase was to be a whiteboard. I finally found it, got it in stock and have tested it. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Please be aware that this vinyl is actually created to be a whiteboard. I didn't just take normal white vinyl and try to pass it off as being a "whiteboard". There is a big difference between these two products. Specifically, the whiteboard vinyl allows you to wipe off your writing where the white vinyl you cannot do this and the writing becomes permanent on the vinyl.

With this product you need to be sure that you are using whiteboard specific markers and not permanent ones.

Urban Market

Our chalkboards are now available for sale at the Urban Market in Waconia MN.


The shop is located at:

44 West 1st Street
Waconia, MN

Check out their blog for hours.

Chalkboard Vinyl

I have recently noticed that several other individuals have begun to sell vinyl chalkboards, similiar to ours. I am, however, somewhat biased and think that out chalkboards are the best!

Jon and I have personally devoted numerous hours to creating the designs that we use for the chalkboards. We also take input from all of you as to what you would like to see, and then use that to create new styles. Additionally, I have personally reviewed several different vinyl products before picking what we currently use. I feel it is the best vinyl on the market. The vinyl we use is professional signmaker quality vinyl. Our chalkboards are black. Other types of chalkboard vinyl I have reviewed were not black, but rather grey with a silver sheen to it.

I am firm believer in quality products. I want to make sure that I am only providing the best. I hope that this has highlighted our commitment to providing a wonderful product.

Stay turned for some new styles appearing in the next month.
