Stop the Press! We do Decals!

Friday was a good day at the shop. Of course it was a good day because it was Friday but more importantly we completed our first decal job on the new Roland Versacamm printer.

The new printer allows us to print full color decals and perforate them in the required shape.

The best part of this process is it means no minimums! So if you have 10 decals or 10,000 we can do the job right in house, with no “less than minimum” charge, and help you save on shipping.

Veterans Day 2014

The ceremony honoring the Portsmouth, RI Vietnam Vets at the Portsmouth High School on Tuesday was beautiful. It was a  local event honoring local heroes  that had the whole community involved. We were so honored to be a part of it and help out in our own small way.

Enjoy the pictures and if you have any you would like to share please post them on our Facebook page. We would love to see them.

Honoring our Vietnam Veterans

Vietnam hat front close

We are proud to be apart of the event honoring Vietnam Veterans on November 11th at the Portsmouth High School right here in town.

Here is an excerpt from the American Legion Post 18 press release:

“Veterans who served honorably between 1 July 1958 and 7 May 1975 – whether in-
country or not – will be recognized on Tuesday, 11 November 2014 at Portsmouth High
School with a Proclamation, certificate, bracelet featuring the Vietnam ribbon colors
made by 4-H students and custom-designed ball cap made by National Embroidery of
Portsmouth. National Embroidery owner Dale Wood is a Vietnam veteran having served
in Danang and other in-country assignments. The ball cap features the Vietnam service
medal on the front and a yellow ribbon with “Welcome Home” on the back.”

Dale and family will be there at the ceremony and we hope you and your family can join in the honoring of these vets.
For more information about the event contact the American Legion Post 18.

A White Blazer and A Denim Shirt

While scrolling through my Instagram feed  I ran across this.

White Blazer

What a curious look…and yet kind of a brilliant idea. The blazer pulls everything together and adds polish to the outfit but the denim shirt says we are not taking this too seriously. (I think I have been reading too many fashion blogs…)

Would you try this look for your next event like a trade show or corporate retreat?
