Russell is in the LRK Store!

[vicki]

We now have a batch of Russell stuff (http://www.cafepress.com/laurierking/4076810) in the store! Just one design for now, but we may add others as we go. Y'all give it a once-over and let me know if there's anything that needs fixing before we send out the newsletter later today (we hope and trust). :)

[Strawberry Curls]

Oh, Vicki, the catch phrase is so clever. I just love it!! Well done. :D

Alice

[Ruthie]

I agree with Strawberry Curls - great line, and love the merchandise. <thinks - how to direct generous relatives...?>

I'm glad y'all like it! That slogan was the one Bantam used for one of the paperback releases a few years ago, and they've generously allowed us to use it here.

Lookee--cafepress gift certificates (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/members/giftcertificates/product_details.aspx), for your kinfolk's holiday convenience!

[Kerry]

Fantastic! And just in time for the holidays -- how clever of you ;)

[vicki]

I'm just serving as cafepress-elf for Our Fearless Leader. She wanted us all to have some extra biblio-fun for the holidays! :D

I've been especially needing a Large Mug. My Hagrid-sized Hogwarts mug has gotten far more than its fair share of use over the last few years. A Russell large-mug could ably share the load, methinks. I also need a shirt for sure, and possibly a tote. And I could always use another refrigerator magnet! Wheee!

If you see anything among the product listings (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/) that you want but that's *not* in the store, let me know and I'll look into adding it. Other than thongs, that is--the LRK Store is now and will likely continue to be in the future a thong-free zone. Hehehehe! :)

Thank God!! The mental images conjured up are wrong on so many levels. LOL ;)

[vicki]

Yah, bad mental images aplenty. And I haven't yet scrubbed my brain free of all those Borat mankini (http://www.amazon.com/Borat-Mankini-Swimsuit-Costume-Suspender/dp/B000UGJSRU) images from a year or two back. :rolleyes:

My wife is going to kill me!!! I just ordered the Russell large mug to add to my collection of mugs that has somehow(?!) accumulated over the last 40 years. I have probably given 75% or more of my collection to friends and co-workers over the years, but I still have a significant number. My anal/retentive tendencies manifest themselves in the strangest ways sometimes!:).

The LRK collection at cafepress is developing nicely; I hope the VBC members take advantage!

[vicki]

Oooh--another man-mug fan! <Peeks into recesses of the famed Present-Closet> I've got a little bit o' Christmas whimsy that I'm going to send to you, John. You may soon be needing a little mug-shelf (http://www.organizeit.com/poextpantrywh.php?t=2&rtnFile=wireorg&rtnDisplay=White%20Wire%20Organizers) to maximize space and keep Mrs. John happy. ;)

Must resist the mugs!!! I just brought home another mug last week with kitty cats! Argh!

[vicki]

I'm something of a mug-aholic myself--I like the larger versions that I can get my whole hand in the handle (mucho ergonomic--whee!).

<Dangles sparkly new mug> You are getting veeeerrrry, veeeerrry sleepy.... </naughty> :)

Bad! Bad influence!

I like the bigger mugs because you can brew a bigger cup of tea in them :D I love every mug looking different. (I can tell which one is mine! That is my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) I have been known to buy 1 mug from the last set of 4 mugs in a shop.

Help! Somebody, help!

It is spreading, Vicki. I must confess to sending a friend and fellow Russell devotee (who is addicted to totes) the picture of the Russell tote and the URL. She has already order it saying I was decidedly evil. Getting the word out one person at a time. Bawhahahahahah!!!

[Kiyomi]

You are all EVIL! Evil I tell you! Why must you torture us weary souls who are like puty in the face of shiney new mugs and totes!

[vicki]

Kiyomi--fellow night-owl sister! <hoots, blinks>

Bad influence!

Now *this* would make a great mug/tote/t-shirt/etc!

Oooh--someone else who needs "Bad Influence" wearables! Thanks, Alice! I agree with you about the one person at a time thing. Gotta love that domino effect!

[Corgimom]

The store looks great! T-shirts MUST come my way for Yule! I'll share the link with all the folks I know who collect totes and mugs.

[vicki]

Cool! Thanks, Corgimom!

Several family members who are now caught in the LRK tractor-beam will be getting Russellbelia from me for Christmas. Wheee! My grandmother is getting a mug and a tote, in fact--she loves the Russells. I'm hoping she gets online soon so she can join in the VBC fun! :)

"I used to have money, now I have Russells!'

For some reason, this reminds me of that Kramer quote said on the "Face Painter" Seinfeld episode--"You gotta support your team." :D

Be watching for other Russell designs in the LRK Store over the next few weeks! :)
