Good news everyone. We found some more dirt.

Our ceramics supplier has just filled our entire order of Lost Art Press Beer Steins, and they are now available for immediate shipment. The mugs are $39, made in the USA by an artists' collective and hold 20 ounces of beer, bourbon or coffee.

These mugs are handmade, dishwasher-safe and a joy to use.

We also have a new bandana design available in our store. This bandana features construction drawings from one of the comb-back chairs in "The Stick Chair Book." The bandana was designed by Tom Bonamici to look like a blueprint. These are printed by One Feather Press in Tennessee, which makes the nicest bandanas we have found. They are pre-washed, soft and crisp.

Please note that because of ongoing supply-chain problems, we may not be able to restock these items if we sell out of them before Christmas. So if you are considering these as a gift, act now to avoid disappointment or shipping delays (remember last year? We do).
