Tomorrow there will be a shop update with 44 new necklaces. The preview is now available in the shop. Old styles, plus two new styles:

A delicate, short chain style made with wool in a double strand. Three different colors available.

Something that’s requested often: a shorter chain. The strand is a bit shorter too, and there are two in super soft merino wool (taupe and emerald) and two in the purple/blue ombré. The shorter style is good for anyone, but is especially nice for you ladies with a bustier chest that might cause the longer chain to get, as one customer put it, “lost in the in between.” Ha! Something I know nothing about…
Also, you may have noticed For Me, For You necklaces on Daily Candy New York this morning! I’m very excited for this exposure, and welcome the new customers to the fun tomorrow morning. Big Cartel has implemented some new fixes that should hopefully cause less glitches.
Also, a reader mentioned that they thought they saw someone wearing one of my necklaces on the HBO show How To Make It In America last night. Did anyone else? I’d love to find out if that’s true and get a screen shot if so. Nevermind! Thanks to Christine for sending me a screen shot, it was in fact not my necklace but definitely a look-a-like!
I was trolling around on Pitchfork.tv over the weekend and stumbled across this amazing video of a live recording session with The Morning Benders. Basically they got all of their friends who were musicians in San Fransisco to come into the recording studio with them, and the results are fantastic. I don’t think I would have been as impressed by the song without seeing the video. How much fun does that look?
(ps. if you’re viewing this through a feed reader the video might not show up, so come on over to the blog to see it!)
PLEASE NOTE: I was recently forced to switch my blog from ftp to blogger’s custom domain and my rss feed address has now changed! I’m working with someone to get it forwarded so no one has to change a thing, but that might not happen, so if you’re not seeing it in google reader, etc., please change the feed address to: http://www.forme-foryou.com/feeds/posts/default. Or just resubscribe www.forme-foryou.com (forme-foryou.com no longer works for the feed. Boo.) UPDATE: I switched back to FTP and the old feed until I can figure out what the heck to do. Sorry to those of you who switched to the new feed, you can switch back now!
I tried not to let the snow and my overwhelming to-do list stop me from getting out a little this weekend, even if that just meant a little stroll around the neighborhood on Saturday. But Sunday we decided to go find this big (translation: normal everywhere outside of New York City) Home Depot a few stops farther into Queens, and while walking back to the train we stumbled across a suburban style Michael’s craft store! Naturally we jumped up and down with excitement, and Billy bought some ridiculous fake flowers for an art piece (intentionally meant to be tacky, of course.) Other terribly exciting accomplishments worth noting include making risotto, painting our ugly closet doors, lots and lots of shop update readying, and tons of kitten cuddling. Wendy took a slight break from her usual “don’t touch me or you’re a gonner” self and was especially into cuddling this weekend, tucking her head into tight spots like under the desk (5th photo) and in the crook of my arm.
