If you receive my monthly newsletters then you already know that August is a special month at Lambchop Designs. It’s our two year anniversary! Yes, it’s true, time does fly. This week in 2008, Lambchop Designs was born out of my need to start a business painting unique artwork for children. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised with the reception and positive response! I have painted hundreds of paintings and begun making children’s t-shirts. I’ve revamped the website and started a blog. I am extremely happy with its evolution so far. And, two years is YOUNG. I can’t wait to see what the next two, ten years bring!

Thanks to all of you for continuing to stay in touch with Lambchop Designs.

In celebration…I have started a “Refer a Friend” promotion that will last through the end of this month. There are two ways to refer a friend to Lambchop Designs and receive unlimited 10% discounts for this month:

1) Have your friend sign up to receive the monthly newsletter HERE…let me know the name of your friend so I can give you proper credit.*

2) Email the name of the friend you referred to me (or call!). If he or she purchases anything from me this month, voila, you receive your discount!

Yippee!!!! Don’t you know I love a good deal?! Make it happen for back-to-school! Speaking of back to school….have you checked off everything on your list? Let’s see…

School supplies? Check. New backpack? Check. Back-to-school clothes? NOT Check.How can we help? We still have crab and shark shirts in inventory. Snatch a few to round out your tot’s wardrobe for preschool this fall. Don’t wait until the last minute. We will be at Market Labor Day weekend…we may not have many after then.

All tees are $25 each and you may pick them up in Irvington or we can ship it anywhere in the USA for $5 each.

Hi Everyone!

There have been LOTS of changes going on at Lambchop Designs. The biggest change is my new website and blog! As you can see, you will be able to take a look at all of my paintings more easily, purchase them more easily, and get great decorating tips all at the same time. The blog will be dedicated to discussing awesome ideas for kids rooms as well as what’s going on with Lambchop. Also, you will get to hear a little about my personal life and attempt to “keep it all together” as I chase after my two-year old, run my own business, help my hubby with his law practice and run around with our dog Alice. WHEW!

CHANGE = INSPIRATION

Speaking of changes, last summer, we picked up our bags and moved to the country. We moved to a little resort town off the Chesapeake Bay called Irvington. Haven’t heard of it or visited? You should. One reason of many: The Tides Inn (below).

I know.  Our boat (that is in NO way worthy of docking here) is in the shop RIGHT NOW with the hopes it will be up and running again in less than a month. We will be cruising to the Tides Inn for their famous Cosmopolitans in no time (yes, please)! (Ok, well, for me a giant MOCKtail. That’s right…Baby Bugg #2 is on the way! This new baby will, no doubt, lead to lots of conversation on the blog.)

We also get to take advantage of numerous farmer’s markets (read: fresh veggies and awesome, unique art, etc), knowing “that guy” who has the best crabs, and have the occasional bunny and bald eagle running around our back yard.

Why am I telling you this? Well, I want you to get to know me and Lambchop Designs on a PERSONAL level. And, my surroundings have certainly become my inspiration (our son, Davis, being primary influence!).

WHAT’S NEXT

Lambchop Designs is in a very exciting stage. We have sort of come out of our adolescence and are emerging into a more SOPHISTICATED and FUN mode. We know who we are, what we do, and how we do it. This is all better for you! This also means new product ideas like infant and toddler t-shirts (yes, Davis will have one in each size) and, hopefully, stationery!

If you want a better grasp of my general meaning, please refer to my “guest blog” post on The Gimlet Eye:

The Gimlet Eye: Guest Blog by Lambchop Designs

My goal is to not only provide you with great artwork for your baby’s and kid’s rooms, but also give you inspiration to complete the entire room in a fashionable, fun, and affordable way. I am a big fan of DIY and clever tricks. I also can’t shake a stick at a good bargain. I promise, you won’t be disappointed if you subscribe to my musings!

Again, WELCOME to my new site. Take your time and look around. I would love to hear what you think!
