Benjamin Ballerina announces a new (physical) shop location.

we are so excited to announce our newest shop location - located in north Boulder, Colorado at
A FITTING PLACE. we spent this weekend getting it all set-up... painting and installing our displays... hanging the clothing, etc.

while you can still find us on Etsy and Big Cartel - if you are in the boulder area you can now come and see our stuff live and in person. check out our a fitting place photo page to see more pictures of our new shop.

we are planning an official boulder launch/opening for early 2011 - so please check back and/or get on our mailing list (via our contact page) so we can let you know the details - but in the meantime feel free to stop by and personally check it out.

hello there from the midst of our excitement and organized chaos.

this past friday we began the installation the display pieces and show. it went so much better that we expected (well dylan was the one worried... and maggie was the calm voice of reason that it was all gonna be great... and by golly it was) and left us with a whole new level of excitement and accomplishment.

the launch/show opens in just 4 days.
please come out and support this new project of ours
and see these wood collages for real and with the clothes hanging from them.

we can't wait to see you.

this is where some of the hard work happens... in the living room surrounded by toys.

we also got the hangtags back from the printer yesterday... every step is so exciting.
if you are looking for a great printshop try P&L Printing in Denver...
by far the best experience i've had with a printshop.
please let them know that Benjamin Ballerina sent you.
