Before the exhilaration of bringing a product to market I used to have a hard time waking up on Mondays.  That was then.  No one ever explained to me the joys of creating a product, even one as simple as ours and wrestling with it, tweaking it, perfecting it, perfecting it again, making it pretty, making it funky, branding, selling it.  I feel like the world has been holding out on me.

Work was… well, work.

Of course this process is not without a certain modicum of despair and trepidation, but these are not of the freeze-you-in-your-tracks variety of fears.  They are the small challenges; stacks of to-dos that can be broken down into smaller actions.

If only someone had told me that beginning a business was just a small collection of actions, I’d have done this about a million years ago.

Someone said to me: “Why not string some sweet bamboo beads from a sleeve topped with some random yarn? ”

“Okay,” I said.

Okay, there are reusable fabric coffee sleeves.  There are very fancy, but wholly unusable, frilly ones.  Then there are reusable sleeves that are almost as boring as the passe cardboard sleeves you still see some people toting around.

There is no other sleeve as functional and visually enjoyable as Daisy Blue!

Our production methods and materials are “green,” but this sleeve is definitely RED.  It is very, very red.

It was the longest winter we can remember… but Spring has sprung.

While she isn’t as photogenic as some of our brighter models, this understated little number is sure to garner attention where it matters – the coffee shop.

Other reusable coffee sleeve makers use floral prints.  Chickens.  Buy Morning Glory before it fades from our store.

When we’re a rich upcycling success story, we will invest in an expensive camera so that we can better demonstrate the vibrant colors of our upcycled fabric.  Until then, you’ll have to trust us when we say, this product is our “greenest” yet (literally).

Like your favorite pair of jeans, Bamboo Dream is not meant for the runway, but it will still turn heads.  Guaranteed.

Under normal circumstances I would not let this go live.  Obviously we are in the process of changing the format of the site, however I have run into some difficulties and I have to run off to my other job for a few hours.  If you are hoping to shop, please click on shop at the top of the page.  I cannot figure out why the thumbnails are not appearing!  If you click on individual products, everything works just fine.

I will figure this out by day’s end.  Sorry.  Enter coupon code ryansfriend for a $3 discount.

Edit: after 3 hours of screwing around with the site this morning, I have it kind of working.  I need to manually update everything.  Hopefully everything will be looking sweet by Sunday.
