New products available for BST soon!

If you follow the Facebook page // twitter account // instagram account for my shop, Byte Size Treasure, you have been introduced to some new characters before they enter the shop.

These characters include Byte the tiny teal shark (the BST mascot), and Spartan Octopus(aka Spartan-opus!). People seem to love both of these characters, which is great! I'm so glad.



Well, they're about to make their official debut on the shop storefront! I got in a couple products for both characters - pencil pouches and umbrellas. I've already sold 3 umbrellas and I haven't even had a chance to offer them in the shop yet. So I used the money I got from the first couple to order a bunch more.

I ordered test umbrellas months ago and wasn't happy with their quality so I never ordered more or offered to sell them. They felt cheap and I don't want cheap products in my shop. But the new umbrellas are bigger and better quality. My one big gripe is that they have the same stupid "wrist strap" as the last batch. I say "wrist strap" cause that is what they're supposed to be, but they're so small, they wouldn't fit on a baby.



So I will be making custom straps for the umbrellas! I also ordered some charms to add a little something extra to my pencil pouches, and I should have some extras to include with the umbrellas. I got notification that the charms shipped, but it could take weeks to get to me. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that they get here soon, so I can take pictures for the shop of all the new stuff.

You've seen it here, previews of upcoming products. As of today, they are not posted for sale yet. But the price of the pencil pouches are $12 and the umbrellas are $22.

You'll also notice my camera tripod - I got it back in April but it didn't have the shoe (the part that holds the camera to the tripod). I spent months online trying to find the part online, but to no avail. Finally, in December, I found it! For $5!! Yay!
