Don’t know about you but we receive a gross amount of junk mail everyday and it pains me to see such waste. We often receive multiple copies of the same catalog which just sends me over the edge. I tried calling a few catalog culprits (you know who you are Pottery Barn, Smith and Hawkin, and Delia’s!) and could not for the life of me wait on hold while they transferred me to the appropriate person to cancel my subscription. Uh, excuse me, I don’t ever recall “subscribing” to this trash.

After some frustration and a small bit of research (google search) I found a possible solution. It’s called www.catalogchoice.org. You simply register and search the catalogs you despise and put them on your “decline” list. The website takes it from there by contacting the companies on your behalf to get your name off their mailing list. I have entered in 6 catalogs and have stopped receiving 1, but I remain optimistic.

I encourage you to try it out. It’s easy, free and will decrease the number of catalogs in your mailbox lightening your footprint on the environment. Visit Catalogchoice.org

ah, valentine’s day..another reason to eat more chocolate. as if we needed a reason. and in case chocolate, roses, and stuffed teddy bears are not your thing, try sending your lovey a “personalized” song sung by isaac hayes.

simply type in your lyrics and send it to any phone number.  try it here.

how did sprint convince isaac to do this? i bet back in the day he never thought he would be doing anything for a large corporation!

from this…

and this…

to this…

IMO, anyone who can sport gold chain-link suspenders with pink spandex and still look like a bad-ass is pretty awesome no matter what they end up doing later in life. the whole scientology thing aside of course.

Maybe we spend too much time with each other here in the studio. We are starting to dress the same. Here is our typical Kris Nations Jewelry Headquarters “uniform”…
