the jury says ...

12/8/2010

so, you remember the Cargo(h) Pants store we set up?

well, Cargoh.com went to a juried system, and our little guys were deemed to be not quite right for the site as of now.

well poo on that, but oh well, it's certainly not the end of the world, ya know?

we'll live, and hopefully, we'll find a way to bring our plushies to the rest of the world in a way that you don't have to do anything but know what paypal is. (oooo, ideas.)

anyway, the little letter Cargoh sent said "no hard feelings?" and i must agree. when i read they were going to a juried system, i figured we wouldn't do so well, considering the gallery-quality pieces that pervade most of the rest of the site. so there really aren't any hard feelings at all.

better luck for us next time! ^.^-b

outlawed by outlaws!

8/8/2010

well, not really outlawed. more like 'thanks, but not this year'-ed.

which is fine, actually, because i'd only applied on a lark.

on the other hand, now i have some extra stock and nothing to do with it.

SO.

there will soon be some new squidlies in the store, and some turtles, and even the mermaids!

isn't that exciting? :D

Today's Menu

Here at the Foundry, we forge toys of every variety, from squids to kaleidoscopes to marionettes, out of the highest quality materials around.
   They're handmade with sturdy thread and then stuffed with plastic beans or polyfill, depending on our fancy.
   Each of our plushies - animal, vegetable, or mineral - comes with a birth certificate telling who made it.
   If you'd like several of one kind, or perhaps something specific to your desires, please contact us, we do so love custom orders (especially weird ones)!

Get the News!

the foundry has a newsletter! did you know that?
it's a once-in-a-while update, including any new fancies, and it goes out on the 1st of the month. if we have a sale that didn't make it in, or we're starting a new product, we'll send out a little flier that will tell about it.
we promise, a newsletter or flier won't appear in your inbox more than twice a month.
