The title of this blog should be 'Chris Justin is a Genius' because it was his idea to turn our tiffin totes into the re-purposed item of the year... a perfect growler tote.  The small loop handle of a growler is tough on a guy's finger if you have to walk several blocks home, and carrying it next to your body, under your arm, is out of the question, as it unnecessarily warms the beer.  Solution: a tote that comes in manly shades of green or brown, with an adjustable strap that can be worn across the body, plus a thick enough wall to hold in some of that coldness.  They'll cost you $17.99, and the functionality is priceless.  Call in and order yours today!  619-280-5501 

Thank you to Chris for modeling his new beer tote.
Current favorite beer:  Stone Ruination IPA, an 'itensly bitter' beer with a 'refreshing malt' taste, yum.

"Nikki's images exude a positivity that revolves around community, sustenance, parenting, and appreciating both the urban and rural landscape, undoubtedly influenced by her home in the Northwest and specifically Olympia."  -from Nikki's bio
We think she's all that and quite surely our favorite new print artist.  We're in LOVE. Nikki captures the beauty of truth.  Get some.
Just in this week:  AMAZING themed journals, art prints (only $15, what?), greeting cards of a rare and beautiful nature, and stationary. 

New at PROGRESS: Keel's Simple Diary, a beautifully bound guided diary that removes all of the thinking and creativity one might have to pour into recording even the least eventful day.  This is by no means and "inspirational" diary, but rather a quick way to gauge the day, to capture the essence, if not all of the details.  Fun to use, fun to give, perfect for everyone... journalists and non-journalists alike.

Available in red, blue, lime, and orange. $15
