It’s a big deal to take on the responsibility and expense of printing and selling your own work, and we’re ready! We figured it’s a good idea to start with one design, print a run, sell and then take it from there. We’re asking you to help us pick which design should be our first “on our own” printing.
We have been busy working in other avenues and will return with new designs in a few months. In the meantime, Michele has been working to get our designs printed ourselves. In a few days, we’ll post a poll so that our fans can help us decide which design to start our production with!
Since our daughter is a bit older now, we’ve gotten some new ideas for designs. We’re hard at work on them. In the meantime, we’re working to pay the tax man and hope you enjoy these fun designs from our “A Little Bit of Honesty” collection. They are available from CafePress.com and Zazzle.com.
If you buy something, please let us know how you like the print quality. We’re striving to work with the best vendors available and want to hear from you!
We finally have all of our new and holiday designs for our Little Bit of Honesty line of baby onesies, tshirts and bibs up on cafepress.com/vivadm and zazzle.com/vivadm.
Our favorite new ones are “Santa brings me a cardboard box” and the NYC-themed ones.
We recommend the organic cotton (vs. regular cotton) onesies since the collars are nicer and they wash/wear a little better. The t-shirts are nice in either standard or organic cotton and the bibs are, of course, super cute!
Thank you to everyone who helped with the translations of our best-selling design, “My parents are sleep deprived”. We now have that design available in: English, Spanish, German, Danish, Japanese, French, Italian, Yiddish, Russian and British Slang. Soon we’ll have Korean, too!
As always, if you know someone who likes persimmons (or sea turtles) we have cards and posters which make lovely holiday gifts!! Our original line of VivaDM items are for sale at our Etsy store with reduced prices for the holiday season…
In early October, VivaDM launched its line of baby onesies, bibs, and toddler t-shirts using cafepress.com’s storefront — called “Little Bit of Honesty”.
Inspired by our first three months with our newborn, we realized that what we’ve experienced as new parents, other parents have too. Having found the humor in many of frustrations and sleepless nights with our daughter, we created these designs that capture a little bit of honesty and a lot of humor that anyone with a baby will appreciate.
Just this week, we’ve updated the storefront to include some new designs we think are just as clever as the first set. Our favorite new one is for Christmas.
And as always our main brand, VivaDM, has its Etsy store: http://vivadm.etsy.com. We are currently featuring the beautiful autumn Persimmon posters and greeting cards as well as the tranquil Sea Turtle posters.
