This might be the quickest idea Swagbot has taken from concept to market to sale. From the concept just before dinner around 8:35 central time to posting at 11:58 pm central time and a sale 8 minutes after midnight. Amazing. Juli and I came up with the idea, the name, logo and Big Cartel store. Fun!

I just traded a couple of vintage tees for this today. It's in great condition and even has the original application you would send into to Marvel to be considered. Send me a message if you are interested in it. Shawn@vintagevicestore.com

Buy this asymetrical hand sewn recycled hair clip on ETSY. It was created using a vintage button and fused plastic bags and finished with a nickel plated snap clip.

We found an ad on Craigslist for a bunch of big wooden shipping containers. They are 3 ply shipping grade plywood and are bomb proof. We had so much fun tonight moving them around the store for the big rebrand. They were used for 1500lb reels of steel wire but we're gonna use them for t-shirts, hoodies, skirts and other clothing stuffs. Things are moving along well, more pictures later.

So we got a message late the other night to create some t-shirts for an event that students at Missouri State University have put together called Bears Backing Haiti | 50 in 50. Their goal is to raise $50K in 50 hours for Haitian relief effort. Because of some shipping issues with one of our suppliers, we wouldn't have been able to get the t-shirts in time for the event, so my wife Juli came up with a great idea. We spent all afternoon and evening tonight creating a set of stencils for the students to use. They'll put the word out on campus and create their own shirts. We are excited to be a part and help out the cause.
