  2. Tobi, congratulations on your new look. Very professional! I am proud of your many accomplishments and look forward to watching you achieve many more in the near future. The best is yet to be!

    Tobi…..I remember when I first called on you. I think you were a designer for a year or so. You looked at my custom rug samples and said “I will use these someday when I get the high dollar design jobs.” I have been a rep. for 20 years and I thought “sure you will.” True to her word, she called after around four years and wanted to see my rug samples again. Tobi, you are true to your word and such a wonderful designer. New River Artisans loves making rugs for you. The reason is simple, you have such great design ideas and it is so much fun seeing what style you will be doing next. Thank you so much for your business, and thank you for being such a great loyal friend to New River. Carmen Martina

  5. Many thanks for mentioning my book, Bringing Home the Birkin. I hope that you enjoyed reading it as much as I did living it.
    Be well,

    Love your site and style so thought you would be interested in casart coverings. It’s a super cool solution for wall design, especially for renters. I’d be happy to send you a sample to play around with.

    Repositionable, reusable, removeable!

    Slipcovers for your walls!

    Hi,
     
    I was curious what it would take to get a text link on your blog saying something like “Tungsten Wedding Bands” or “Tungsten Wedding Rings” with a hyperlink to our site (www.tungstenringsonline.com).  We are a relatively new company and we are currently trying to improve our page ranking on Google.  We operate on a small budget, and we would be more than willing to give you a tungsten ring from our site in exchange for a link.  Let me know if this would be something that you would be interested in.  Thanks for any help you can give us.
     
    Thank You

    Hi,
    My name is Damon and I do internet marketing for Oxford Garden furniture. I really like your blog, I even showed it to my mom and she started reading it. I’m into art and design myself and my mom loves crafts and decorating, and pretty much anything involved with it. I think it’s kind of hilarious that I’ve got her reading blogs now. I’ll have to explain RSS feeds next.

    But I thought I’d e-mail you and see what you would think about reviewing some of the furniture from Oxford Garden or even just giving us a link. Oxford Garden is a Louisville KY company that makes high end garden furniture from Shorea wood. We try to do as much organic marketing as we can since we don’t have a big budget for marketing (Not a big company), but if that is the only kind of linking you do from your site I understand. Please let me know what you think.

    If you want to check out Oxford Garden’s furniture their website is here http://www.oxfordgarden.com/
    I personally really like the Capri set because it’s affordable and is made out of Acacia wood which is an abundant Australian wood. I am big into conservation so I like that this isn’t made from some of the other over harvested woods.
    Here’s a link to the Capri set if you’re interested:

    Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you.

  12. Tobi,
    I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You for all your wonderful and inspiring blog post. I own a home decor and gift store in Atlanta, and have just jumped into the world of blogging myself. It has been such a pleasure to follow your blog, learn about you and your company and see your work. I recently did a post on you, on my blog, simply because you’ve inspired me. The next time I pass through Little Rock, on my way to Oklahoma to visit my mom, I’d love the opportunity to meet you. All the best!

  25. Hello Tobi,

    My name is Bretton Swope and I have recently Kickstarted a project that you may find interesting given that you write about things relevant to wine/products on your blog, Tobi’s Blog. I think you may find my project interesting and perhaps mention it to your readers.

    The project is called Oblique and can be viewed at http://kck.st/rUxqq6

    It is a simple wine bottle holder that is precision machined from 6061-T6 Aluminium that holds the bottle horizontally such that the center of mass is roughly above the middle of the footprint of the holder. Thus, the bottle and holder are co-dependent on one another. The design is a result of the ‘balance’ between the CNC milling machine process considerations, efficient material use, shipping constraints, aesthetics, and cost.

    Oblique is designed in California, and manufactured in Minnesota. I hope you find the project interesting and please email me if you have any questions or feedback on the project.

    Sincere Regards,
    Bretton Swope
