I am so tired of Washington State in June. Seriously. Yesterday Elliott and I headed to the Eastside, to pick up a couple of small racing sailboats. The sun was pounding down as we loaded a couple of maybe 200 pound boats on a trailer behind my mommy-van. (Yes, I finally broke down and bought [...]

The other day, AAG reviewed a site for us called The Lingerie Post. When I read it, I thought “a bra that converts into shopping bags? She’s gotta be kidding.” While maybe she was joking, maybe not (I didn’t find the post in question but I didn’t look very hard either) I DID find [...]

Ok, so the new tshirts are here! I will show you the rest of them later, but what I got was a ladies capsleeve in white, a ladies longsleeve inside-out seamed tissue-weight shirt (shown below) and a men’s P.E. gray (but not heathered gray). I also had a total of 5 ladies capsleeves done in [...]

I’m beyond excited. Rae and Jack have been working tirelessly (and I’ve been trying to stay out of the way) to get this launched. You *should* be seeing the new design now. It’s different enough that there will be no question if you are or are not. I LOVE it. Rae couldn’t have done any [...]
