hygge who?

our friend christiana coop just launched her line 'hygge + west', featuring a variety of new artists' products designed around the danish concept hygge, anything - + everything - that creates warmth, brings joy or gives the meaning in a word. we (i, rachel) designed some candles + tees for the launch. cozy!

field trip

≈










we recently took a field trip to rush order, our fulfillment center in gilroy. it was nice to meet their team (doris, sarah, judy + team) + see speesees on their shelves, labeled + neatly packed for easy picking.

going public

here at speesees, the majority of the staff (6 of us) take public transportation. here are some reasons why taking public transportation is nice for our planet:

• reduces CO2 emissions by 37 million metric tons annually.
• saves fuel, reduces an individual's carbon footprint, and reduces congestion.
• provides an immediate option individuals can take to reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
• can reduce CO2 emissions by 20 pounds per day-more than 4,800 pounds in a year if a solo commuter switches their commute from a private vehicle.
• saves the U.S. the equivalent of 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually-more than 11 million gallons of gasoline per day.
• provides an affordable alternative to driving. Households that use public transportation save an average of $6,251 every year.

some fuel for thought.*

slowly but surely...

we prepare the speesees shoppe for the public. opening november 15th!

office with a view

at dusk, i am enamored with the street side city life view from our office.*

best of the bay

a little announcement about the speesees shoppe (hmmm>pretentious spelling?) in the best of the bay (guardian). 10% off coupon! first official announcement + advertisement. so much to do...

gorilla tote

made of 100% recycled cotton fibers.
available for our monkey business team
+ on our online shop.*

posters

thanks to lindsay's suggestion, we recently created a line of speesees posters + shelf talkers for our retail stores to use for displays. we certainly will be using them in our own space.
