2012 is barely seven-weeks-old. But it's already evident the little baby year has amazing potential to change things up, and grow new ways and relationships.
Along with new studio space and new art friends in this still-almost-new year, we've started working with two new sales reps: Ginger McCleskey of Queen of Hearts Cards, Etc., and Ivette Rothenberg. We'll be talking more in depth with and about them in upcoming blog posts.
Today, we're highlighting the new brick & mortar friends Ginger and Ivette have already made for Bean Up The Nose Art. Yay!
The following very fine establishments have just joined up with us to carry Bean Up The Nose Art goodies. We thank them profusely . . . and hope that when you're in their neighborhoods, you'll support them.
* Arlington Pharmacy, 299 Arlington Ave., Kensington, CA
* Builders' Booksource, 1817 Fourth St., Berkeley, CA
* Cypress Garden Nursery, 590 Perry Lane, Monterey, CA
* Expanding Light, 14618 Tyler Foote Rd., Nevada City, CA
* JJ Jackson's, 244 Commercial St., Nevada City, CA
* PegasusBooks, with three locations: 1855 Solano Ave., Berkeley, CA
2349 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA
5560 College Ave., Oakland, CA
* Readers' Books, 130 East Napa St., Sonoma, CA
And we remain oh so grateful to our established accounts with brick & mortar friends -- many of whom we've been able to tell you about on this blog. For example, we're thankful for recent re-orders from:
* Avatar Community Business Center in Fairfax, CA (click here for our blog post)
* Heartware in Oakland, CA (our blog post)
* Mountain Bookstore in Sonora, CA (our blog post)
* Scarlet Sage Herb Co. in San Francisco, CA (our blog post)
* The Star Store in Langley, WA (our blog post)
The greatest source of Bean Up The Nose Art's revenue is business through our brick & mortar friends. As our blog posts attest, we admire the moxie, tenacity, creativity, boldness and courage of folks who open up their own shops and do business in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you to shopkeepers everywhere. YOU RULE.We would not be here without you.

Good job Tamara! Wonderful to see how many places your work has landed.

Wow, Tamara - great to hear that your creations are getting out to more of the world. Those shops are all awesome! Way to go!
First of all, the photo of the "Be the Change" card TOTALLY cracked me up! Your humor and insight shine through your work and make your products SUPERB!
Secondly, all the "brick and mortar" stores that you mention are EXTREMELY FORTUNATE to offer such a WONDERFUL product to their customers. Once someone sees your work, they will not forget it and will keep coming back for more! That's what store's want - repeat customers.
I am SO PROUD of you, Tamara! And you are a source of INSPIRATION to me. One day I will be writing my blog and mentioning stores where you will be able to buy my fabric or wrapping paper!
Nice to see your cards out in the world! I can't wait for my order to show up so I can write something special, to someone special on a "special" card from Bean Up The Nose!
Cool! Congrats on your new sales reps and your new stores! What a great list! Wishing you much more success this year and onward!
