StickFiggy Retail Debut: Essenza & Les Amis Boutiques in Seattle’s Fremont Neighborhood!

615 North 35th Street, Seattle, WA 98103-8608

I’m so happy to tell you that two of my FAVORITE boutiques in all of Seattle have kindly added the StickFiggy Winter line of cards to their offerings: Essenza and Les Amis!  Essenza has fantastic soaps, perfumes, perfumes you WON’T find in department stores, jewelry, and gift items.

They have a DARLING children’s section featuring books published by my fav. publisher: Chronicle Books. I recall seeing great baby clothes as well- the SUPER cute european styles. This is a great place to find baby shower items!

Les Amis 3420 Evanston Avenue North Seattle, WA 98103-8663

Also Available on Etsy

Les Amis is one of Seattle’s designer clothing boutiques with a tantalizing counter of wallets, jewelry, and other goodies. Their cards are interspersed in the far right section of the store. They have an impressive array of high-end specialty cotton shirts. I love the ones by  Michael Stars, James Perse, and Velvet.

Above is just a sampling of the StickFiggy Cards and P.S. Cards in these boutiques! Ask to see the Valentines cards. . .

Thanks,

Jane

StickFiggy stars in how-to video for relaunch of Swayable.com

Jane Marshall on Tuesday, January 11th , 2011

click “Learn how to get started. Take the Video Tour” when you go to Swayable.com.

WHO: Lindsey Harper, the CEO of Swayable has developed a very focused product that can help you involve your social circle in real-time to solve the decision-making problems of everyday life.

WHAT: This video contains the most animation ever with StickFiggy. 90 seconds of spunky-whimsical StickFiggy. See the video-tour to learn about Swaying and getting Swayed!

WHY: Swayable is a brilliant new way to get help and give help in decision making; but it also is a way to connect people in  small but meaningful ways. Larger institutions also have an instant way to access organically spread and possibly viral public opinions.

When Lindsey first saw StickFiggy, she had instant insight knowing that his unique

cheeriness + simplicity

made him not only a desired style, but a possible ambassador for her message.

Always aiming to focus StickFiggy as a tool for simple communication from the heart,  I felt confident that the project was a great  match.  Connecting people for quick decision-making is a PERFECT tiny matter!

WHEN: Free and now!

Once again, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge local collaboration. It is wonderful to experience the tech frontier and to see these innovators “get” StickFiggy, and value the life and warmth that comes from something drawn by hand.  THANK YOU!

Thank you cards, the BIG tiny matter


We’re in the thick of holiday season (not over yet if you are having a birthday, celebrating Eastern Orthodox Christmas on January 7th, or are anticipating the Chinese New Year in February….) and it is the time when Jiminy Cricket starts chirping in your ear about THANK YOU cards! And if you don’t hear him, you’re either clueless or . . . perfect. Yikes!

#1. Be prompt. Within a week is best.

#2. Personalize, personalize, personalize!

#3. Delay for the sake of for perfection is an alibi- just be like Nike and do it!

The Do’s and Don’ts of Thank You Notes

The Basic Etiquette of Thank You Notes

By 

They’re such a simple concept. A thank you note is an expression of appreciation for a thoughtful act, expression, or gift. But the potential formality of this thought can be intimidating. Many people think that the wording has to be perfect, and this causes so much anxiety that the notes are never sent. Before all the other rules, just remember that an imperfect note that comes with heartfelt sentiment is better than a perfect note that was never written.

In order to relieve some of the anxiety on this subject, here is a simple guide to the do’s and don’ts of thank you notes.  READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE.
