In addition to my real job I have a small business selling cat themed merchandise at a gift mall. I make a few of the items myself, for example, covered switchplates and signs. I'm a pretty decent hand letterer and am always looking for clever new sayings. This weekend I did, Cats Rule, Got Tuna?, Crazy Cat Lady, I (Heart) Cats and Wipe Your Paws. Others I do are Meow Spoken Here, Blessed are the Purr in Heart, Strays Welcome... I do twisted wire hangers, raffia, paw prints, basic kitty pics, etc.
So the question is...do you have any ideas for a sign you'd like to see, or have seen and liked? There are many great sayings, but some are too time consuming. (ex, Purr and the world purrs with you, hiss and you hiss alone) I get my sign boards free at a lumber mill and usually about the biggest is about 5-6 inches in height by 2 foot. I also like to do really small ones.
Also, I'd be curious if you have any favorite cat items that you'd like to give or receive as gifts. I try to carry a good variety, but I tend to buy what I like, and that's not always the best thing to do. I have clocks, ceramics, pill boxes, jewelry, vases, pictures, frames, signs, garden stakes, rugs, statues, misc wooden items... It's a long list, but I'd love to know what catches your eye.
Too bad I didn't qualify for secret santa this year...it would have been like hitting the jackpot for someone who likes kitty stuff!
Thanks for your ideas everyone.
