Our hat company, "Tortuga Clothing" has generally gone through cycles of interest and activity. Right now it seems to be hitting a high point in both. We are currently participating in a product review / giveaway with the blog "Take It From Me". They kindly invited us into the deal, and we're very pleased with all the feedback and interest. Even though I managed to add about 30 new hats to the Etsy shop, there are still another 40 or so to post. I really should market that shop better than I do. Maybe this will give me more incentive to do just that, as well as the other fundraiser idea...T-SHIRTS.
I've already started talking with a silkscreener, but the initial momentum has died away. If any of you wants to try their hand at a t-shirt design, feel free to contact me.

New Releases at Tortuga Clothing
I'm finally getting around to posting new stock on our Etsy store for Tortuga Clothing. I actually took new photos for all the new hats some time ago, but life gets complicated and the next thing you know...too much time passes. So without further adieu, we're releasing a few new designs that we think you'll love.
My personal fave is the Cali Beanie, which we have several color / stripe combinations to offer.
We're also introducing Kitty Mitts to complement the Audrey Beanie. These fingerless gloves are constructed of the same yarn as the Audreys, so they make a good combo.
You'll notice in the new photos that we actually have heads modeling the new designs. Each of the 3 heads was hand painted by either Amber, Audrey, or Halina. I also added an actual banner design to the Etsy store. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but I struggled a bit with the free online design tools. Don't get me wrong, I think Aviary is great. I just don't have a lot of skill with it yet.
I'm hoping the weather stays cool for a while longer to inspire the world to wear our beanies and support our adoptions.
