New York report #4

We’ve wrapped up our trade show adventures with several last minute purchases including clocks, re-usable lunch bags, and a new greeting card line. Yesterday we finally ordered a line that we fell in love with at the last show: ceramics by Ink Dish, which feature designs by famous tattoo artist Paul Timman. We’ll have the plates and mugs in two separate patterns, available individually and in gift boxes.

And for those of you who need your cute fix, you can has some canvas bags by Japanese designer Shinzi Katoh. We always love ordering in this booth. The nice thing about these bags (besides their super-cuteness) is that they close at the top.

The Japanese king of cute — UPDATED

Shinzi Katoh really is “big in Japan”, which we were completely unaware of. All we know is we fell over backwards when we saw these cute-overload canvas bags. Really, I mean we were both giggling like schoolgirls and running into one another. We just learned that these are on the way and will be in the store in a matter of days. 3/17/2009 UPDATE: They’re here! We have six different designs, at $27 each.

Can you hear my voice?
