Wren’s Nest Critter T-Shirts Debut


Written on August 2, 2007 at 11:48 am, by Lain

What are those, you ask? Well, our design team has come up with four T-Shirts, and we’re debuting a new one over each of the next four months.

EDIT 3:47 PM–As usual, I’ve spoken too soon. Looks like Brer Fox will be the first month, not Brer Rabbit, but the color will still be blue. I’ll post the right picture as soon as I get my hands on it. In the mean time, feel free to use your imagination!

Here’s the front color of the first shirt:

And here’s a close-up of the back:

Normally these go for $15, but if you read five (5) Brer Rabbit stories (by any author), you’re entitled to come to the Wren’s Nest and pick up your free T-Shirt.

Also, you can have the very first one if you’re the first to identify either of the two girls in this picture–

It’s easier than you think!

    Girls? Lain, I’m pretty sure that’s you on the left. Needless to say, we were all thrilled when SuZ finally came along.

  2. lain says:

    Good point, John.

    Suz, for those of you who don’t know, is my sister and occasional reader of this blog.

    John, you’re free to any size ladies t-shirt you’d like.

  3. Kate says:

    Darn – I knew that was Suzy. I want a shirt – will get one of my “readers” busy. We will be there soon….

  4. Joe S. says:

    The girl on the right is clearly a young Winona Ryder.

  5. Joe S. says:

    In fact, she probably stole that raincoat she is wearing.

  6. Joe S. says:

    You know what would be really awesome though? Is if the link at the top-right of this webpage ever took you someplace other than the page you are already on. Lain… put your webmaster to work.

  7. lain says:

    Joe, agreed on everything!

    Especially the last thing–that really annoys me. I am the, uh, webmaster for the blog and have no idea how to make that work like it should. Any advice is much appreciated.

  8. susie says:

    You know, if that picture boosts business, Katie and I both expect a cut. Or at least a free t-shirt for being so adorable.

  9. Jodi says:

    What about if you’ve read the entire original Uncle Remus Songs and Sayings in the dialect? Can you get all 4 t-shirts?

  10. Katie says:

    I must say I am very honored to have made the blog. The greatest thing about that picture is we have only gotten cuter with time.

    Lain, were you and someone (maybe Amelia?) walking down E. Trinity in Decatur last night, possibly after going to Depeaux? If so, I was the blue Subaru that stopped and as you guys crossed the crosswalk. If not… I sound like a major creep, craiglist missed-connection style. Whoops.

  12. lain says:

    Amelia and I both believe that you’re right. We were picking up the above T-Shirts at Depeaux last night.

    Three things–

    1. Amelia wants to proclaim to you (and the world!) that she doesn’t usually look so darn preppy.

    2. For the rest of you stalkers out there, we’ll be at Depeaux again tonight, but this time to eat.

    3. I know not one, but two(!) people who have seen themselves described on craigslist missed connections, then subsequently gone out on dates. Neither relationship lasted.

  13. Ida Beth says:

    Honestly, that’s not Linda and Annette??

  14. lain says:

    Wow, a few decades earlier and you could be exactly right, Ida Beth!

  15. John says:

    Lain:

    I think you should grant Jodi’s request. However, to prove her accomplishment, you should make her read all the original stories aloud in one take while you record her. You can then post it here for us all to listen.

    If you do that… and if she does that… you can bill me for all four shirts.

  16. lain says:

    I accept your terms, John.

    Jodi–you’re up, on the condition that you orate the tales from atop our amphitheater in dramatic fashion.

    John, I’ll invoice you as soon as the deed is done.
