FRITZ!

if you've ever been into the shop you have surely seen this photo of my dear fritz. what you don't know is the creepy things i tell people when they ask "who is that"? below are my answers.
photo credit: adam levey

1. "thats my boyfriend. he died. are you going to buy that?"
2. "thats the owner of the store, he's watching us. are you going to buy that?"
3. "i don't see a picture up there. are you going to buy that?"
4. "thats my ex boyfriend. he dumped me, i'm really sad about it. are you going to buy that?"
5. "thats my reason to live right there." then i blow the photo a kiss.

summer is here?

after months of darkness and cold is seems as though summer has finally graced us here in portland. i am not very happy about this (my apartment gets hotter than a high school wrestling match). the good news is that we are still clearing out summer goods at frank james. the store is a bit cooler than the blazing devil sun too.

handwritten letters

lately i've been seriously considering the thought of maybe thinking about getting into handwritten letters. i love receiving letters and cards. i love thinking about writing them to other people. not just telling someone i love them on the back of a receipt or writing my number on a match book at the bar.

today i was inspired when i found these great letters my pal gretchen wrote to her cousin abby.



dear creatures


call/email if you want to be one of the first to get your hands on the newest dear creatures...stock is very limited.
