Where it all started

punkster's first warehouse

or

[leanne's loss of sanity. and kitchen.]

this was my kitchen on punkster. now, i can't even find punkster when i need to show someone. you see, we got a warehouse last season. i remember reading this article about a start up business in one of my business magazines that i read like a valley girl reads cosmo, i eat those articles up.

i fully remember reading about a girl that started a small company, i forget what it was, but she had a picture of her on a fork lift in her warehouse! and i remember thinking how huge that is, a warehouse with your creations, thousands of little pieces of your brain all organized in bins and pulled down off the shelves with a forklift, how cool i thought!

and now, we are in that place. we aren't buying forklifts, but i think they use one for us once in awhile. we found this great option, a distributor of sorts i guess. it turns out you dont have to have your own warehouse, there are places and ways to share warehouse space, have a manager in charge of your "stuff" we use a company, "international warehousing solutions" outside of new york, jack is great!

he always calls me gidget because he thinks im a surfer cali girl. if he only knew! they handle everything from wine to water to baby clothes!

anyway, well we pay for space in this warehouse and they ship out our shirts for us. they store and ship everything which takes a huge load off our mind, our time and our kitchen storage!

they even stuff all the shirts in the baby bottles which is huge for us, considering if we or our family had to smoosh one more shirt in one more bottle we were going to drown ourselves in milk, it was an amazing solution, and although it decreases our profit per shirt, like everything else, i really feel like it was a great use of money and offers me more time to do the finer things in business life like, create new designs, try for press, write this blog.
