Sleepy Robot 13 Updates!

I know I haven't updated this blog in awhile, but I promise I will get better about it soon!. If you haven't already please go "LIKE" Sleepy Robot 13 on Facebook (www.facebook.com/sleepyrobot13). I tend to update more often there then here. I have been insanely busy with getting the store set up, ordering additional inventory and equipment, tracking down inventory that is apparently lost somewhere in japan, painting, hanging shelves, finishing custom orders on the waiting list, getting ready for show season and so much more.

I am currently shooting for April 21st for the Grand Opening assuming everything goes well. All of the fixtures are in and set up. The majority of my inventory (items other than my robots) should be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I will try to upload more pictures once I get things a little more together.

There will be new robots added to the Etsy shop in about a week and local customers expect a collection of exclusive limited (only 5-10 each) robots that will be in store only items available during the grand opening.

Sleepy Robot 13 Retail Location Coming Soon! How you can help!

SLEEPY ROBOT 13 NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
Sleepy Robot 13 Store Project

Its official! Sleepy Robot 13 will be opening it's retail location @ 13345 Madison Ave. Lakewood, Ohio early 2012.




The Sleepy Robot 13 will carry all of my handmade robots, figurines, toys, jewelry, buttons T-shirts and totes. In addition I will also be selling Robot themed novelties, jewelry, plush, art prints, vinyl toys and more!

Store fixtures, cash registers and printers are very expensive.. I currently have a lot of $$$ invested in the store and will need a little more for it to reach it's full potential.

Sleepy Robots13 Gift Certificates

I recently received a few messages asking if I was going to be offering gift certificates for sale in my shop this holiday season. I'm wondering if there are more than just a handful of people wanting gift certificates. I have created a poll to find out just that!

Custom Items Update

Hi guys! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update regarding custom orders. Due to the high volume of orders I've been receiving and the upcoming holiday season, I will not be taking any new custom item requests until mid January 2012. This includes wedding orders of all kinds. If you sent me a request before 08/04/2011 and confirmed that you were ok with the time frame/price you have been added to the waiting list and will be receiving your custom item(s) by September 15, 2011. I apologize to everyone who has sent me requests over the last week and to anyone who was planning to order custom items for Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I am only one person and there are only so many hours in a day:(

Shop Temporarily Closing

The Sleepy Robot 13 Etsy shop will be CLOSED starting tomorrow morning (12/1/2010) through the weekend while I try to catch up on the orders received while I was out of town. If I make a decent size dent in my current orders I will re-open sooner. I apologize to everyone hoping to place Christmas orders this weekend.

Designer Con Re-cap

Woo! Designer Con came and went in a blur! I kind of feel like I set up my booth and in a blink of an eye it was over. I had an amazing time. D-con was my very first convention, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I made a few mistakes as far as planning and expenses (I had to travel from my home base in Ohio to Pasadena, CA for the show). I definitely know what to do differently next year.

The reception was great. A lot of people stopped by the booth and I even met a few celebrities. The highlight of my day was finally getting to meet Buff monster who is one of my favorite artists. I was taken by surprise by the number of people who walked up to my booth and handed me their sketch books. I guess sketches are the new autograph lol! I loved it though. My boyfriend Bobby was kind enough to help me out in the booth through out the day and I think he really enjoyed himself.I will turn him into a toy person yet!

Below I have added several pictures of the booth through out the day. If you would like to see pics from other exhibiting Designer Con artists click Here.
