New Name . . . New Era

After much consideration and being unhappy with my previous name of three years (Radical & Retro) ... I have finally made the decision to change the name of my business to The Funky Monkey Shoppe.

When I began Radical & Retro I was intending on making repurposed clothing and taking items from the past and recycling them into useful radical things of today. Well this just never materialized and I went down another path and became a "Sock Artist" making sock monkeys, cell phone cases, Sockits, Owlpods, pillows and loads of other fun items. So I have decided to change the name of my business to The Funky Monkey Shoppe - besides I can still put the "fun" in "funky" which has been my slogan all along.

Please note my Etsy shop name will change to The Funky Monkey Shoppe but the log in will still remain http://www.radicalandretro.etsy.com/ due to the fact that we are not allowed to change the username.

I am excited to start using my new name and I feel good knowing that it reflects the items I make.

To Market...To Market

Yes that's what I am doing this Saturday. I will be at the St. Albert Farmers Market on Saturday, June 13th. It is the Kick Off to Summer Celebration and my first market of the season. Over the summer I will be in St. Albert on the following Saturday, July4, July 11, July 18, July 28, August 22, August 29 and September 5.

I am located in stall 152 on St. Thomas Street. I will be selling my world famous sock monkeys and Sockits along with my Owl Pods, Tee-Totes, and sock monkey gadget keepers.

I hope it will be warm and the wind stays away - I don't need any more tent accidents.
