i've been following this duo since 2002 and thought i would pass it along. ferdinand a charming portland, maine workspace+ storefront where you can find rubber stamp cards, t-shirts, patches, underpants, pillows, jewelry and many other products. my favorite is the bigwheel tee $22.00 US and matching onesie $15.00 US all printed on american apparel tee’s – smart! the cotton screen printed squirrel head tea towels are simply irresistible at $9.00 us a piece. they are even carrying even more products from independent designers and artists, including books, jewelry, clothing, belts, wallets, handbags, baby stuff and artwork, as well as vintage housewares and furniture. former west coaster designer diane toepfer and co-owner husband ron harrity created a studio in munjoy hill, portland, maine amongst a family of other small business owners. known for their genuine hand-crafted lampshades - popular throughout the portland, which explains the studio’s cool vintage lamp extravaganza. seems that Ferdinand even has a funky mascot dubbed the ‘softhead’ [$18.00 - $22.00 US plus shipping], a one-of-a-kind plush face with a multitude of expressions and is a big hit for toepfer. they too are hand shaped and fabricated. check them out while shopping online if you can’t make the trip out to maine.
