Store Progress!

We hung these letters in the window last night:

Our dad installed these shallow shelves to display prints:

Andy and Matt were working on the ceiling in this one and you can see our new lights, too:

Things are coming together!

New City Bird studio and store opening in Midtown!

We recently signed a lease on a beautiful space in the Canfield Lofts (the same building which houses the wonderful Bureau of Urban Living) for our new studio and shop/gallery space.  Ours is the ground-floor space directly to the right of the tall birch tree in the photo above.  The shop will sell our own designs in addition to work by others (we're going to feature local and regional designers and artists but will carry great goods from all over).  We're so incredibly excited about it!  Here's an interior shot of the front of the space which will be the shop:

We're busy painting and building fixtures - I'll post some progress shots soon.  It's going to be awesome!  We'll be opening in late October (more details soon) - can't wait!

DIY Street Fair!

Visit us this weekend at the DIY Street Fair in Ferndale.  We'll be there selling our wares all day Saturday and Sunday along with lots of other super vendors.  There will be yummy food and great bands, too!  We had a blast at last year's fair.  Above is a photo of from our friends at Handmade Detroit.
