Happy New Year!
I am still celebrating since Liz Gumbinner from CoolMomPicks.com notified me over the weekend that my bestseller, the Mini Cooper tee, is going to be highlighted on their site on Jan. 6. This is always a thrill because no one brings in the readers like CoolMomPicks. Time magazine has even sent a shout out to them! Check out this impressive Press page!

Here’s the feature screenshot.

A quick note about Babyology - that is one powerful blog. The feature they did on the affordable independent art movement (which highlighted our Trees + ABCs print) is STILL bringing people in to the shop! We have shipped more Trees + ABCs prints to Australia than the US! (It is an Australia based blog).

Just noticed today that our Whale Applique Long Sleeve tee by Charlie and Sarah was mentioned on this blog:

December ‘08

Recovering from the craft show has been crazy. Lots of physical labor. LOTS. Thank goodness my parents were able to help us with the boys so we could get it all done.  Met some very nice people and got a chance to see what it might have been like to have a brick & mortar retail shop. I am glad I started online - we’ll just say that ;)

I found my site featured on this blog, ellecupcake - which is a girl’s blog about all things cupcake. Very cute. Anyway here’s a screenshot where she featured the hand made crocheted cupcake hat and booties available on my site here:

Here’s a new BSR sighting. The MommyTrack’d Newsletter on August 19 gives us a shoutout. I am a paying sponsor on their Deals & Discounts page, but I didn’t know they’d stick me in their newsletter. Nice little surprise!

BUST Magazine chose BlueSkyRocket.com as an “Editor’s Pick” in early June ‘08. They also linked to us in their email newsletter sent to all of their subscribers on June 6. They only select two ’shoutouts’ per newsletter, so that was really cool. I cut out most of the newsletter content to save space:

Here’s a screenshot of BUST’s homepage with a link to BSR - right on the home page :)
