Our neighbors, Nokomis Shoe Shop, had their Annual Customer Appreciation Tent Sale this past weekend and not only did they have great deals, the Fork in the Road lunch truck and a bouncy for the kiddos, but they also had their best day of sales in their history!! And, they ran us dry of our small and medium I (cherry) MPLS girly tshirts! A success for everyone, if we do say. Go Nokomis Shoe Shop!
There it is, folks, a coffee cup as it should be… big and filled with fairly traded coffee. Look for Equal Exchange and their big coffee cup (and bean bag toss!) at the Fringe Festival… ready, go!
Check ’em out, Equal Exchange Bean Bags for bean bag toss! Where can we toss these bean bags, you ask? Why, at the Fringe Festival of course! Win and you could probably get yourself some free coffee beans.
And just look at that beaut of a 100-year-old Singer that Sam (former Spunk maven) busted out to sew these puppies up. Bean bags sewn with love, my friends. Sewn with love.
Check out Rick Nelson’s write up on 3 Tiers in the Taste section! Huzzah!
In other news, our garden is growing.
Gargantuan hail yesterday at the shop. Power outages, too. All hell is breaking loose.
As you may or may not know, Spunk updated Augsburg Fortress‘s brand identity a few years ago. We hadn’t been in their downtown office in awhile and found out yesterday that they recently spruced up parts of their interior with a vinyl wall covering featuring the refreshed brand logo and artwork. Needless to say, it was pretty fun for us to see! (I look like I’m having fun, right?)
Go Equal Exchange!
Go Principle Six!
Go Willy Street Co-op!
Goooo Bananas!
What’s better than playing Air Guitar? Playing Air Guitar dressed as a Banana, of course! And that’s exactly what went down at Willy Street Co-op’s Annual Meeting and Party last Thursday. We sadly couldn’t be in our neighbor state to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S, but we did get to design the poster for this a’peel’ing challenge! And, as always, mad props to Luke Mills for being such a badass banana.
We recently had the pleasure of branding our neighbors, 3 Tiers Bakery Bistro, and Craig and Lucas got down to it installing the new graphics on their windows today. It’s worth it to stop by and check ’em out, perhaps as you savor the highly-recommended and wonderfully-paired Flying Dog IPA and Meatloaf Sandwich…
