That’s right, we’re selling our kid’s t-shirts online at etsy. Visit our store at: http://lello.etsy.com to snag your very own butterfly, zebra, monkey and/or maplewood tee available in infant, toddler and youth sizes. All tees were designed by us and screen printed by hand to 100% cotton t-shirts. We hope you dig them as much as we do!

Well, this year’s Mayfest - which is the event that launched our whole business one year ago - was a bit of a washout. They’d been predicting rain, but we were hoping for the best, and we got off to such a great start. We met some awesome neighbors, sold more shirts than we anticipated off the bat, ate some sausage (and Jamaican patties and stuffed cabbage and key lime margarita cupcakes) and really got into a groove. Then… it started to pour. We were one of the stragglers that tried to ride it out for a while, but once our fold-up chairs started to float away, we packed it in and headed home. Too bad… Beth and the volunteers from the Springfield Avenue Partnership worked so hard to pull it all together, our son Jackson and his friends had a blast getting their faces painted like pirates by the Three Sisters Face Painting team, and… I think my wife might’ve developed a crush on Mr. Ray after he did a show for all of the kids. So… maybe it’s not such a bad thing that it ended early!
Seriously though… thanks again to everyone who came by, checked us out, encouraged us, and jumped in a few puddles along the way.
Be the first to get your very own pink butterfly, brown monkey and yellow zebra tee this Sunday, May 18th when we debut the shirts at this year’s Maplewood Mayfest. The fest starts at 11am and continues to 5pm on Springfield Avenue right here in good’o Maplewood, New Jersey. Tees will be available in infant and toddler sizes.
Can’t make it and really, really want a tee? Don’t worry… they’ll be available for purchase online following the fest.
Hope to see you there!
We’re a visual bunch here at lello. Trying to get the feel for a t-shirt design from a computer screen just doesn’t cut it. Right or wrong, part of our design process is to create rough mock-ups of the final tee designs by printing, cutting and taping our art to the intended toddler t-shirt. We’ll play with colors, size and positioning on different tees until we get something we think works. Then we’ll talk about it, revise the art and print, cut and tape again.
What we finally arrive at is something we really like… and hope you will too. Stay tuned… our 2008 spring/summer of kids tees will be dropping very soon!
