October 18, 2005Last night, I made my first bulk wholesale order for some Darling t-shirts that I’m going to start selling. I stared at the web form for several minutes before I mustered up the courage to click “submit.” Why the hesitation? Because ordering a few dozen t-shirts makes all of this real. I’m not just coming up with “great ideas.” I’m not just thinking, “Hey, I could do that.” I’m actually doing it.
It’s nerve-racking to make such an investment, but it’s also very exciting too. I’m releasing my ideas into the world. That’s so cool.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
hooray! congrats!
Don’t sweat about it, I’m sure they’ll be adorable! Can’t wait to see ’em!
If the T-shirt you gave me for my birthday is any indication of what’s in store, your shirts will sell out in no time. Congrats!
