Posted by Caroline Bagby in Custom Inspiration on April 4, 2013

The spring months call for the dusting off of luscious libations. Your robust red wines may have been keeping you toasty all winter, but it’s time to break out the fruity and crisp goodness that puts some pep back in your step.

There’s something about warmer weather that makes having a get together twice as fun and [...]

Posted by Caroline Bagby in Custom Inspiration on April 1, 2013

Every year on April 1st the pranksters come out of the woodwork. Gullible is the buzzword as you’re tricked into believing your phone screen is emitting scents, The White House is issuing a message from the President and you’re on your way to finding a buried treasure with your GPS. Excitement mounts only to be shot down [...]

Tune into your inner geek

Posted by Caroline Bagby in Custom Inspiration on March 12, 2013

The wisdom of the Jedi Order, the majesty of Hogwarts, the mysticism of the Triforce, and the immortality of the Elves trumps average human life on most occasions. It’s almost unfair that we’re confined to lives of mediocrity while our book, movie and comic counterparts basically have limitless powers and every ounce of cool. The [...]

A custom St. Patrick’s Day

Posted by Tammy in Custom Inspiration on March 5, 2013

This time of year it’s all about the Irish, a saint named Patrick and a free-flow of drinks. Of course, you don’t have to drink to celebrate the man who banished the snakes from the Emerald Isle, but it is a nice excuse to take a ‘mental health day’ from work.

Custom leather for the bikers that don’t mess around

Posted by Tess in Custom Inspiration, For Customers on February 25, 2013

I was born and raised just outside Milwaukee, WI so I appreciate the Harley/motorcycle culture. Growing up, I had friends with Harley Davidson themed basements adorned with vintage bikes and custom leather goods. I nearly lost my hearing on the freeway during the 95th anniversary celebration as thousands of hogs rolled into town. In fact, [...]

Live action role-play (LARP) accessories

Posted by Caroline Bagby in Custom Creation Stories, Custom Inspiration on February 19, 2013

In 2008 we were hit with the hilarity of Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott as they donned their best KISS costumes and hit the fantasied battlefield in Role Models.

Presidents gone custom

Posted by Tammy in Custom Inspiration on February 18, 2013

The President of the United States works every day, so it’s only right that we reserve one day a year to acknowledge all of the arduous work of our current President and those that preceded him. Currently with our 43rd president, the White House has been up and running (with modifications along the way) for 221 years. [...]

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match!

Posted by Tammy in Custom Inspiration on January 28, 2013

February is basically synonymous with Valentine’s Day and while visions of everything red and pink comes to mind, very few associate the day with its roots. The word valentine is derived from the roman word valens which means worthy, strong, and powerful. Love is a powerful emotion, whether it be for family, friends, or a [...]
