buyolympia.com March 2008 newsletter

Planting seeds and dreaming of warmer days...

Did March fly by for you like it did for us? It seems like it was just the middle of January yesterday, and now here we are staring April in the face. We've been busy adding items and artists to the shop and we have a few new items we're really excited about.

We worked with Nikki McClure on a new set of archival prints titled Mama+Baby, and Puckish let us put through the paces their newest creation, an awesome 8-pocket canvas messenger bag.

We also introduced a couple of different mugs made of corn that, when properly composted, leave nothing behind but dirt.

There's a bunch more too, so read on for some of the highlights, or zip yourself directly to our latest page.

Paul and Ann Rand

Paul and Ann Rand Books

Paul Rand has that simple, pointed design that's nothing short of classic. He and his wife collaborated on a couple of books for kids. We're excited to get a bunch of each in.

Giraffes and Wholphins, Oh My!

Honestly, we have no idea how the folks behind Timothy McSweeney's Publishing arm do it, but they do do it. We've got a new issue of the DVD magazine Wholphin, the second of 3 amazing colorful pseudo-encyclopedic missives, and a 95-page compendium of sleeping positions.

Corn Mugs, Adult Shirts, Magnets

Sarah Utter doesn't stop. In the past month, I Heart Public Transportation has been turned into an adult-size shirt, a magnet and a corn-based mug. And we've done similar for Reading is Sexy.

New Fancy Pinball Paperwork

Notecards let you write handwritten notes to friends far away, and notebooks are one of those things that once you have in your hand, collecting your thoughts and ideas, you wonder how you ever got by without them. Tenth and Grant makes both.
