Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

Oh the Irony!


"Keep Calm and Carry On" has become a very popular phrase indeed this year. We have it at Joie de Vivre many ways, including the above mug which we've been sold out of for a month or so. We received our reorder this week, priced them, and called the people who'd been waiting for them to return. Today, a woman came in for hers, and when we peeled off our non-permanent price tag (the kind we've been using successfully on all kinds of things for years) - the red paint came off with it. Whoops ! We grabbed another mug. Same thing. Another, fine - customer left happy. I went to the stockroom to try the remaining 16 mugs. Only 4 survived my slow and careful price tag removal . . . . uh oh . .. keep calm . . . . make note to call the company tomorrow . . . carry on . . .
