We are shooting photos like crazy and doing our best to edit
them as quickly as possible. We have posted a list of items that
you can look forward to on our new summer 2008 page. You
should be seeing images soon.
We are also getting ready for Anime Vegas and the New York
Anime Festival. Come by and check us out. We should have even
more new merchandise for the conventions.
On a personal note we only have 8 weeks until our son is born!
We are frantically trying to get his room painted, furniture
moved, clothes bought and everything else that goes along with a
new baby. We are doing our best to balance web orders, ebay
orders, convention preparation, home and family life. While we
always love to make custom requests we are going to stop taking
custom orders at the end of this month. We will still be happy to
make any custom hat that is listed for sale on our site, but we
will no longer accept custom embroidery requests and new hat
styles. If you have already placed an order with us or have
contacted us about a custom request, don't worry we are happy to
complete those.

We are back from Anime Expo! Thanks to everyone who visited
us and helped make Anime Expo a huge success. We couldn't
have done it without all your support. Too all those who pestered
me about the website not being updated enough, I have heard
your pleas. I will be taking the next week to shoot new items and
update our site in general. Unfortunately, today is too rainy to
shoot so the photos will have to start tomorrow. Not that I want
to announce more delays, but we will be leaving shortly for the
San Diego Comic Con. While we had big hopes to display at the
convention, but we are still stuck on the waiting list. We did
purchase tickets to attend the convention and attempt to get a
booth for next year. Our construction time will still remain at 2-3
weeks as we will be driving back to California in a week or so. We
will be out of the office from July 24th through July 31st. Again,
we will have intermittent internet access during our time away,
so please be patient if we don't answer email's right away.
We are currently backordered on the beads that we use to make
our Kyo style bracelets and they will not be back in stock until
the first week in August. Sorry about that.

We are getting prepared for Anime Expo on July 3-6 at the Los
Angeles Convention Center. We are focusing on our last big push
to get all your orders completed. Starting next week our
construction time will increase to 2-3 weeks as we will be out of
town from June 27th through July 9th. We will have intermittent
internet access for the next few weeks so please be patient if we
do not answer email's right away.

Thanks to everyone who came by our booth at Fanime this year!
We had an awesome time and sold out of almost everything. On a
sad note, our 2 year old daughter lost her Harry Potter wand
during the convention and is very upset. It is a plastic wand that
makes 26 different magical sounds. It was originally marketed as
a Joke Wand. We have tried to replace it, but since it is such an
old wand we are having difficulties finding it. We are still offering
a FREE HAT for the return of her wand. The wand was in brand
new condition as it was a part of my personal collection that my
daughter found shortly before Fanime and insisted on taking
with us. If you found this wand, or know who found this wand
and would rather have a hat please contact us. She is having a
difficult time with the fact that her latest favorite toy is "lost" and
doesn't understand why we can't "find" it.

We are sorry to announce that we are sold out of frosted blue,
frosted red and grey fur. These colors have been discontinued by
the manufacturer and won't be seen again. We still have enough
small pieces of fur to continue making the headband ears, but
not for long. The good news is that as we sell out of our current
colors we will be able to order new colors this coming winter.

Thanks to everyone for their words of encouragement, I don't
know if I would have survived without them! For everyone who
does not know we are expecting our second child!!! For the last 3
months I have been extremely ill and unable to keep any food
down. I actually weigh less now then I did when I became
pregnant...my doctor was very unhappy about that one.
Our ebay store is still closed as we have not finished our re-vamp,
sorry about that. Hopefully we will get everything completed by
this weekend.
Due to our move and my all day morning sickness we have yet to
take photos of all our new winter products. SO, we are moving all
our winter line into our summer line. So this year's summer line
will be larger then normal.
We are gearing up for Anime Expo and we will be blowing out a
majority of our jewelery items there. While we love our jewelery
we are going to be moving away from our anime styles and
carrying more unique and original pieces.
Last but not least, our envelope art contest will start on May 1,
2008. If you have mailed art in already we will post them starting
on May 1st.

The office is totally unpacked and we made it through okay. We
did have to buy a new printer and a few odds and ends were
broken. I still can't find my Joy of Cooking so I guess I packed it
with the books and not the kitchen stuff. Other then that we are
back on track and can't wait for Sakura-con. It will be awesome to
see our friends in Seattle! Only 6 more weeks. :)
2-10-08
We finally moved! We have unpacked a good deal of stuff, but
there is a lot more to go through. We are still "missing" some
supplies and hats, but I know that as we continue to unpack they
will turn up. As soon as we unpack all our photo supplies and set
up a new shooting space we will get new hats on line.
Thanks to everyone for your support during our move. We always
love to hear words of encouragement and we appreciate all the
supportive emails. Thanks again.
