Hey, D Magazine...

Yoooohoo...we're over here.

D Magazine is having their annual Best of Big D contest to choose the best places to eat, drink, play and shop, and our store was under their radar. That didn't stop our customers though. Faithful follower Nikki sounded the hue and cry and called for a write-in campaign. We may not win, but we're sure feeling the love!

If you'd like to cast your vote, you can go to the D Magazine site, click on Vote Now and go to Category 32. You can write in Mid2Mod (and be sure the box turns yellow), then go to the bottom and click Submit.

Fabpats

The latest issue of Atomic Ranch has begun arriving in homes, so it's time to announce the opening of my daughter's new Etsy store, which is called fabpats. (You can also visit her website.)

What are fabpats? They're fabulous prints of the original patent application renderings of your favorite mid-century designs. The prints come in black, magenta, cyan, orange or green pigmented ink on fine art quality 8 x 10 archival paper.   

The prints sell for $40, and we will be carrying them framed and matted in the store...and soon on Etsy...for $85. In addition to the ones shown below, you can also buy prints of  the classic Knoll sofa and a Jens Risom armchair. Fabpats look fantastic hung singly or in groups.
