Holiday Shopping?

Still shopping for the holidays?  Well, you're in luck... here at Lucky Kat central there are over 75 unique gals and guys clothing, accessories, and houseware items ready to ship with almost all sizes in stock!  Deadline for holiday orders: Monday, December 15th!

Please note the order deadline for international orders and the "tagged" made to order items has passed for holiday shipping. 

Ho ho ho!

Wow- can't believe it is already the second week of December! Time is flying.

Here are some updates:
The more I get familiar with Seattle, the more I really enjoy living here. Of course I miss friends and family back in Ohio, but Seattle does have a lot to offer. 

Just bought my Washington state license plates today ($130!)- the car is now official- we no longer appear to be out-of-towners (well riding in the car atleast...). Thanks to the fantastic talents of Josh- my Vespa P200 is up and running (pictured above- currently nicknamed "patches")- although I have been too busy lately to get out on it.  The picture below is what it looked like when I got it last year.... Someday she will also get a paint job- but I am still kinda digging its current mismatched "rough and tumble" look.

We went out to Urban Craft Uprising this past weekend- a large annual indie craft fair at the Seattle Center- similar to my beloved Craftin' Outlaws- but twice as many vendors! Bought some cool stuff for friends. I had considered being a vendor but I knew I would be too busy to prepare for it- maybe next year ;)

I will be heading back to Ohio for the holidays- leaving on the 17th- and will be gone for 10 days. I will spend that first weekend in Columbus hanging with my girls- and spend the rest of the week in Sandusky hanging with family. The 18th is my birthday- and probably the first time in ten years that I have been able to spend it with family! Any orders placed through the site from the 16th and on will be put on hold until after the 28th.

I also completed my first quarter of graduate school- don't know if I have mentioned that so far in the blog. That was the main reason for coming out here to Seattle- to attend school at UW. I am studying Museology (a program on museum studies) and have had some pretty interesting courses so far! Keeping up with running Lucky Kat and going to grad school fulltime has been a little difficult at times- but things have remained pretty caught up most of the time. I have no plans to end Lucky Kat and do love what I do!

Website Updates- with more coming soon!

Well- things have been getting pretty busy over here- which could explain my lack of blogging recently.  First off- the new items just added to the site:  The two that I am most excited about are the Tattoo Cardigan and the Sacred Heart Hoody.  They rock!  

Also added is a Grey Western Top that is priced to move.  I originally made these for another project and have decided to let them go for a steal on the website.  There are some minor imperfections- but nothing too noteworthy and you can't beat the price.  There is also now another circle skirt option- this one in a cute Skull and Heart cotton print and polkadot fabric options for the Curvy Corset Skirt and the popular Piped Halter Dress. 

Also- thanks to Ruby Hardt (the lovely blonde in the photo) and her photographer Dave Ward for the new pics.  I will be adding more soon.  Also- coming soon are more new items for the holidays including a sexy sailor style dress and hair accessories.  So stay tuned for more!

And finally- 2 new retail stores will soon be added to the Lucky Kat list of retailers.  First, is that Kitten Koffin Zombies- everyone's favorite pin-up contest- has added Lucky Kat clothing to the Shop on their website. Also, be sure to check out Kanella's in Tucson, AZ in the next month or so for a fine selection of Lucky Kat clothing.    

Get what you want!

Just finished updating the site:

Get exactly what you want:

A new kustomizing option is now available- let's not let the guys have all the fun with the western style shirts. Now Kustomizable Yoke Tops are available for the ladies- choose your shirt and piping color, yoke print, and sleeve length. Nowhere else but Lucky Kat could you find such a unique shirt!

Get yours now:   Restocked the popular Cherries Boatneck Tees and Sugar Skull Tops and the Black Super Spy Dresses and Black Betty Boleros are available for order now and will ship out next week.

Get a one-of-a-kind:

Be sure to check out the 3 new unique Clock designs, Butterfly Girl Case, and Swallow Belt Buckles. I made each of these with a new technique that involves a combination of tissue paper, gold leafing, and paint! I only made one of each design- so you can be sure it is an original but you may need to grab it fast!

Get a great deal:

And finally, select items have been put on sale- check out the deals on the Sales page.

Finally a bit settled....

We have now been officially in Seattle for 4 weeks tomorrow!  Time has been flying and the studio is back up and running- seemingly even more organized than before.  So place your orders now- and those on the west coast will finally see even faster and slightly cheaper shipping due to the move.  

I will update further soon about how the move went and what we've been up to in Seattle thus far... including photos!

The website was been updated with a more seasonal look today..... enjoy:

New Stuff Added!

I just finished adding some new handpainted functional art to the website- a few clocks, a cute pink case, and a couple belt buckles.  These are all one-of-a-kind- so once they are gone... they are gone!

Craftin' Outlaws was a success- a ton of shoppers (some arrived over an hour early to get in line to be the first in the door), amazing vendors, yummy food, entertaining deathmatch (I got to be a judge!), and a beautiful venue.  I am also running around all day- making sure everything is running smooth, volunteers are showing up, etc so I actually don't spend too much time behind my booth.  Which is unfortunate because I think that would've helped sales... but I am certainly not complaining!  I hired Gretchen (my Lucky Kat photographer) to document the event- so soon I should have some photos from the day.

In anticipation for the move next Saturday, I have gone through my closet and have listed over 43 items for sale on eBay.  A lot of great clothing- if you like the Lucky Kat style... then you would probably like my personal style.  Also other fun stuff such as a Fisher Price PXL 2000 camcorder (rare and collectible), lifesize Elvis cardboard cutout, Soap Box Derby Car kit (build your own racer), bunch of crafty/DIY supplies, and even a "Steady As She Goes" handpainted Lucky Kat bowling pin.  

Here is a link to the auctions- (some starting at 99 cents!)

 

Craftin' Outlaws this weekend....

So it's been awhile since my last post- a lot has been going on.

Back in stock are the panther polos and dot halter tops.  Fun casual shirts that can match with just about any bottoms- now available in all sizes.   

There is also of course Craftin' Outlaws this Saturday- so I have been busy not only organizing it but also making some inventory to stock my booth.  Some new items that will debut this weekend are clocks, suitcases, belt buckles, and more.  What doesn't sell out this weekend I will list on the website and etsy next week- since these items are one-of-a-kind snatch them when you can!

I was also on the radio this morning (CD101) to promote the fair.  It was pretty cool- never did anything like that before!  An article comes out today in the Columbus Alive that I also look forward to reading.  

Due to the relocation to Seattle happening very soon- just a heads up that at the end of next week I will be posting that there will be a delay on processing and shipping for orders placed between the Aug 22nd and Sept 8th.  All of my inventory, fabric, sewing machines, etc will be on a truck making its way across the country!  So get an order in soon- before the delay!
