The Fall 2013 Monkeyville Flock! Plus Exciting News!

Everywhere else, sock monkeys (and monkeys of the non-sock variety) come in troops, but here in Monkeyville, sock monkeys come in flocks. Maybe it's because they're fluffier than non-sock monkeys, maybe it's because they zoom in out of nowhere, or maybe it's because that's what Ninja Muse called a group of sock monkeys, and when you're luck enough to have a Ninja Muse, you go with what she says. Okay, so it might also, just a wee-bit also be because I forgot that monkeys come in troops, but mostly it's the Ninja Muse thing.

The first of the Fall 2013 Flock

The completion of the first part of the Fall 2013 Flock isn't the only exciting news I have to share though! These guys (the ones who haven't headed to new homes already) are now available in several places!

You can go into the following places and pick out a sock monkey of your own (and not have to worry about shipping):

Nyla, and her friends are available at POSH Design Center, Norwood MA

• POSH Design Center,  Located in Winsmith Mills, Norwood,  MA (that link has autoplay music, just in case you're sneaking a peek at Monkeyville while at work)

 

Rocky and his friends are available at The Arts Desire Torrington, CT

• The Arts Desire, Torrington, CT

 I've also been working very hard on making enough monkeys to not only stock the physical stores, but to also be sure to stock the online shops as well, since I know not everyone lives near Norwood or Torringing. Monkeyville monkeys can be found in two places online now!

Sienna and her friends are located on Etsy

Everett and his friends are up for adoption on Storenvy!

Since I don't make the same monkey over and over, all stores-- both online and physical-- have different monkeys!
I spent about a week working quite hard, saying things like "I never learned how to do this stuff! We didn't have the internet when I was in school*!" I finally broke down and asked the wonderful Ninja Muse to help me with the Storenvy shop, which she did wonderfully, and now there are links on Facebook to buy the monkeys directly from the Facebook page. *Squees* I hope that this will save a lot of effort for those people who would like to reserve their monkeys when they see the photos on Facebook. Now that Ninja Muse and I set everything up, I think it will be easy for everyone to use. YAY!


*Okay, we did have the internet when I was in college, but it was like the rough draft of the internet. Imagine if the whole internet was done on cheap newsprint paper, in charcoal. It was just like that, except the "whole internet" was mostly just Myspace. It was a bleak place back then.
