East Coast, Baby!

It has been far too long since I have contributed to this blog. Months!
Carter Safari is now based on the East Coast in the town of Wenham, Massachusetts. The Studio space is small, and enclosed within the living quarters of a private residence. Currently, I am running low on business cards and brand labels! Oh No!
Perhaps if I can boost my sales in the next few months or luck into some windfall of prosperity, I will move along with those items & production.
Some newer items I have been making in addition to the No-Wedgie Underwear are as follows:

Thongs with elastic lace trims
Boy shorts (fitted)
Tap shorts with frilly 'lettuce-edge' hems
One piece front with two piece center back seam undies with lace (hopefully these are no-wedgie style, too)

And we shall see what else. Many items are still packed away from my move.

Virtually all items have been pulled from Portland (OR) stores*, so shop directly from the Carter Safari store. www.cartersafari.etsy.com is the best way to get your hands on some Carter Safari no-wedgie undies! carter safari store

*most stores in the Portland area carried my items on a consignment basis. Most stores marketed the merchandise as 'Locally Made.' Since I moved, my items are no longer made locally to Portland :( Also, exchanging stock and payments, and keeping up with inventory gets more complicated when you do not have that face-to-face regular check in. And one of the stores sadly closed its doors due to the poor economy :(

Please continue to shop locally, and if you are in the Portland, Oregon area, do visit Union Rose at its new location:

Union Rose
7909 SE Stark
Portland, OR 97215

Also, among great jewelry & t-shirts, MotoKitty has wonderful handmade handbags & totes. MotoKitty is located here:

MotoKitty
1117 SE Division Street
Portland, Oregon


If you have a local store in the Northeast/Northshore area of Massachusetts that carries handmade artsy stuff you like, please leave a comment or a link so we can check it out! Thanks!
