I Love Duluth

My first bulk sale of "Duluth, MN" mugs went to Grandma's Restaurants and I was so excited I did my happy clap dance (you have to see this in person to fully enjoy the absurdity of this particular dance!)  So high on my sale, I wandered in to a place called I LOVE DULUTH, a touristy shop in the beautiful Canal Park area to see if they would like to stock a few mugs.

Luckily, the owner, Simon, had just been talking about how they need more positive messages and started picking up all of my designs - 12 of these - 24 of these - getting out a pen, pointing to this or that getting perilously close to my original collages.  While I'm cringing inside, thinking don't get INK on that, I let Simon know which one's I had available.  He then decides he would like his own customized designs, tells me everything he wants on each, and I went home to get to work!!!  Within two days I was back with all four - he wanted some adjustments, I completed those that afternoon and came back.  I have to say, with what he wanted on these designs, they turned out awesome!!!

Here are the designs showcasing the Aerial Lift Bridge, Split Rock Lighthouse, William A. Irving, Peace, Love, Canal Park, the carriage rides, and of course - Simon's shop, I Love (heart) Duluth:






Come on down to I LOVE DULUTH (345 Canal Park Dr. Duluth, MN- right next to Cold Stone Creamery) and snap up some of these very unique, positive mugs that were created for prosperity - of Duluth and YOU!
