Ads and Articles.

In loo of the springish weather we have experienced the last couple days, the Ad for the Merc this week harks to the Mud that so eagerly accompanies Spring in Vermont. These boots really are cool. Hobo Brig bought a pair when they first came in and if it wasn't for McKay and her generously sharing all of her Vermont Winter Footwear, I might have a pair myself. Although there is another company Bogs that does a few funkier designs of this same sort of Boot. MuckBoots are the real deal, worn by real faaamers in the real muck and having the proper footwear for Vermont winters is essential and I have remembered that now.

On another note, last Sunday we had an editorial in the paper on Sibling Development, the Merc, why all the Larsons moved to Windsor, etc etc. The reported had come in and talked to all of us, called Joy, and tried his darndest to get the story as straight as possible. There is some serious intrigue about why we want to work together but the story mostly gave a bit of a chronology of our lives and how we've ended up here. It was big and we were on the cover of the Business section with 2 color photos and then onto the next full page with 2 more photos. It was a good spread (not a fan of the way I look in the pictures as I didn't shower that morning ;) but it has been incredibly well received and I have already received 2 design jobs straight off the article. Every person who has come into NLWILSON has mentioned it and it has brought a nice vibe to the Merc as well. It's big so I was planning to scan it and post it or something. So hopefully we can ride on that.
