Happy Friday Everyone 😻
It's been an interesting week 😅 It finally feels like we're out of the Summer Doldrums, and maybe Fall, might, MAYBE, be on the way...
📰The News-news📰
Things are moving along okay, but there are some storm-clouds on the horizon. I'm not getting into politics in any flavor, but, there are some effects landing that we have to watch. Foremost, the diesel prices and shortage. 😬 We depend heavily on logistics services to bring out the things we need, and none of this bodes well for any of us.
In other news, Creality has sent us a SparkX-i7 and a K2SE C-4 to evaluate and review 😸 We're looking forward to putting these machines through their paces. Look for more on these in the coming weeks. In the same line of thought, we've been working with the Flashforge Creator 5 and we'll be posting a review soon.
Only one more day Friday-hours left! 🙀 Our last Friday at the market for regular sales will be September 26th!
And in that line of thought, we are reworking both Three Dee's side and Forever Stainless. Over the last several months, Three Dee has grown by leaps and bounds. 🤩🥳😹🥳🤩 So that we can keep growing, we're rearranging the sales floor to make things easier for you and us as well. This will take the entire month of October, and we hope to have it done by the time we open the Printer Holiday Season - remember! The line for Christmas Printers starts November 1st!!! 🎅🏾
But now...
🤩🥳😹😻New Products!!!😻😹🥳🤩
We have an exciting spread for you tonight! While we really wanted to have a full case of our standard premium critters, but we just ran out of time to get the opossums done... 😹 We'll get those guys going in the coming week :)
The rest is all rock stars... 🙀
Keeping with our whimsical-ish theme for the fast-approaching spooky season, we made our Mushroom Turtles 🐢 Giving them another layer, we made them with glow-in-the-dark material!
Keeping with where we're headed, the Boss cranked out some new arrangements in her Modern Flowers line 🌼 I've named this one "A kiss from the shadow" in my head.
We're always getting requests for Highland Cows 🐂 and I finally managed to chase down a model that met my standards 😹 I'm working on more color schemes for them 😸
And I figured since we've already got Mushroom Turtles, we might as well stay on theme and bring out the Mushroom Frogs! 🍄🐸 Before I move on, I want to do a quick shout-out for one of our new neighbors, Papa Da Fungi! He's two booths away, and he has all kinds of yummy treats! (the white frog is for him, but don't spoil the surprise!) When you come buy to see us, be sure to pop by and check him out! You can find more info about him at https://www.papadafungi.com/
We also tried out a new frog model from one of the artists we already license from (so it only really cost us a download to try him out) and we think we might try out more of these guys.🐸
But now, we come to our headlining rock star...🐙🤖 We've taken a few runs at this particular model, and we weren't happy with the first few results... So much so that we didn't even show them to you... 🙀 This time, though, we have something that we can be proud of and that you can appreciate 😸 We're proud to present to you our Peppermint Robo-Octopuss 😹 This guy is one of the most lengthy and weighty prints we've ever presented to you, and we hope you enjoy the incredible detail and intricacy of the beautiful model... And it glows in the dark too!
For now, it's time for me to call it a day. Come see us tomorrow in Building 3, #72, 73, 74, and 31 - at the Tri-Cities Flea Market. If you're coming in the front door, look for our blinking sign in the distance, all the way down in the corner where you turn towards building 4, right across from Sweet Talkz.
Coming in the back door, turn left, go around the corner, and you'll find us right across from Bill's Coins/ Kingsport Coin and Jewelry.
You guys Be Safe, watch the heat - and the humidity is going to make it feel even worse (High 80's, both Saturday and Sunday!), and we'll see you tomorrow 😻
