Crisp sunshine and buckets of chili drew the masses to Cabbagetown Park yesterday for the annual Chomp and Stomp festival. Meanwhile, down at the artists market, we found a new way of luring customers into the skeletent– Foxie Brown in her hammock:

It worked like a charm!

There are lots of dog lovers and tee junkies in these parts. As usual, we made some new friends and took votes for the next breed. This guy introduced us to the “schnocker” (schnauzer + cocker spaniel):

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a fun start to the holiday season. Huge thanks to everyone who dropped by our tent!

We haven’t even carved our pumpkins yet, and it’s already time to start thinking about Christmas shopping… Thankfully, the well-timed Indie Craft Experience has something magically crafty for everyone on your list, including Atlanta’s finest skeleton dog t-shirts.
Come see the Skeledog “booth” and frolic among the region’s best crafters, Saturday, November 15 from 11am to 6pm.
This indoor event will be in a new location this year: Ambient Plus Studio in the West End. And we’ve got the east side covered the weekend before at the Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp. So much good stuff in the ATL this fall… join us, won’t you?

What could be cuter than a dachshund convention?
A bunch of doxies in Halloween costumes, of course.
Last weekend, Charles and Foxie, the original skeledogs, attended HOWL-O-WEENIE 2008, a day of dachshund-gawking, bluegrass, costumes, tail-wagging and face-kissing contests sponsored by DREAM (an Atlanta dachshund Rescue group).

Foxie took second place in her wiener dog race. And Highland Pet Supply was on hand with a big batch of skeledog dachshunds for sale.
If you missed the spectacle, we’ll be back in Cabbagetown Park on Saturday, November 8 for the Chomp & Stomp festival. We can’t promise as many wiener dogs, but the music, 5K and Chili cookoff will be awesome. See you there!

The renegades of craft convened in Wicker Park this weekend, armed with tarps, galoshes and truckloads of lovely and clever handmade goods. It rained buckets at the Renegade Craft Fair. Lucky for us, Chicago residents (and their dogs) don’t seem to mind lousy weather and we sold all kinds of Skeledog tees for 2 days straight! Plus, we spent the weekend surrounded by inspiring crafters and dog fanatics, including our delightful booth neighbors, Suddenly, it’s real! Despite the downpour, we made lots of new friends, both human and canine.

We love dog lovers, and Division Street was full of them. This tough guy could’ve been the model for our grey pit bull.

Here’s our new friend, Jill. Guess which breed she took home?

By Sunday night the storm finally blew over, leaving us with a magical sunset and a glimpse of what this event might have looked like without all the rain. Even a rainy day at Renegade was an adventure and we’re already looking forward to 2009!

Inspired by the friendly crafters at ICE Atlanta, we sent in our application to the mother of all craft fairs, Renegade Chicago. And what do you know, they don’t have enough strange and witty dog tees in their current roster of artists and artisans, so we’re in!
If you’re anywhere near Wicker Park on September 13-14th, please stop by our tent! We’re so excited to bring Skeledog to one our favorite cities.

Yesterday was hot. Ridiculously hot. Record-setting hot. The “heat index” climbed up to 100-105 degrees, but that didn’t stop hundreds of crafty fans, friends and family from strolling down to Centennial Olympic Park for the Indie Craft Experience. 
In between passing the battery-operated fan and running through the fountains, we made some new friends– crafters from Nashville, Chicago and right here in the ATL, caught up with old friends, scored some one-of-a-kind jewelry, soaps and other goodies, and sold loads of t-shirts!
We have the festival fever and are applying to several more this summer and fall. Thanks to everyone who made ICE such an amazing event! It was inspiring to see downtown Atlanta looking so lively.

We were flinging skeleton dog t-shirts all day Saturday at the nicest little Spring festival in town, the Kirkwood Fling! The mild, breezy weather brought out a steady stream of old friends and new, plus lots and lots of dog lovers. We were entertained and delighted by people’s instant reactions to our designs.
Lila caught this photo in mid-transaction.
Here’s Stella, our newest PR weapon.
And these stylish Westies may have earned their place on the list of upcoming breeds. Thanks to everyone who came out to visit our happy 10×10 world!

Mark your calendars for ICE-Atlanta on June 7th in Centennial Olympic Park! Skeledog was selected to be one of the 100 awesome vendors who make this event one of the most hotly anticipated art events in town.
Every summer, downtown Atlanta gets a punch of witty, unexpected design from independent artists from all over the nation. Our electrified, x-ray vision, see-thru bony dog tees will fit right in!

Hey y’all, come see our tent at the Kirkwood Fling on Saturday, May 17!
It’s Springtime in Atlanta and that means pollen, azaleas and neighborhood festivals every weekend. Our tees were a hit with the Humane Society crowd, surrounded by pet products and services… how will we fare in a open air artist’s market?
Kirkwood is a charming, historic neighborhood on the eastside of Atlanta. We’re thinking this dog-loving community will be a great test market for our sense of doggie style. One of the festival organizers is already petitioning for a special edition skele-corgi!

Today we got up extra early and pitched a tent in the drizzle in Candler Park. Our vendor tent was between a Pit Bull rescue organization and a Pug adoption group. Despite the April showers, there was a huge turnout for the AHS Pet Parade.
Our t-shirts definitely got a reaction! We sold a bunch of skeledogs and attracted many gawkers. Here’s Shawn, converting the masses. 
We also gathered a lot of information for our next run of shirts. For example, we need to launch a pit bull skeledog, asap. 
Also, bassets are high on the list… 
(This guy had a t-shirt that said, “I Love Cats.”) Lots of friends, piles of t-shirts and hundreds of dogs… once the sun came out, it was like heaven!
