Stitched Heart Ladies' Tee: She's Worth It, More or Less

For your girlfriend's Valentine this year, you were probably planning on buying a blank T-shirt and painstakingly stitching a handmade Fleur-de-Lis heart patch onto the crest. Boy, you must love her a lot! But the handmade way involves sharp needles and could take several dozen minutes to an hour of your time. Do you really love her that much?

Save yourself the effort and a potential case of tetanus by picking up WHY Louisville's new Fleur-de-Lis Stitched Heart T-shirt. We've taken all that dangerous needle work out of the equation, and it'll only set you back $17.99. The stitched heart design is screen printed by hand on an exceptionally soft cotton ladies' tee. Available in sizes S through XL.

25% Off Hoodies And Jackets

Not sure if you've checked the forecast lately, but apparently Louisville is due for some snow this weekend. We'd hate to picture you trudging through the slosh, your head held low, cursing the elements under your breath--all because you couldn't afford the appropriate outer layers. That "Someone In Kentucky Loves Me" shirt is nice and all, but it ain't gonna keep Old Man Winter in his rightful place.

Thankfully, WHY Louisville is slashing prices on all outer wear! Zip hoodies, pullovers, and stylish track jackets are now 25% off!

"Which 25%? The sleeves?"

Very funny, Statler and Waldorf. You'll get the entire garment, but it will cost you 25% fewer dollars than it did prior to this sale. See how that works?

Someone In Kentucky Loves ME??

There's been quite a winter's chill out there lately, which can mean only one thing: love is in the air! February 14 is just around the corner, and things are getting awfully romantic at WHY Louisville. So romantic that we've decided to include millions of additional people in our line of "Someone in ___ Loves Me" tees. WHY Louisville's classic "Someone In Louisville Loves Me" is still available, of course, but now Kentuckians from Florence, Paducah, Monkey's Eyebrow, and all points in between can declare their love on a T-shirt.

The "Someone In Kentucky Loves Me" tee is printed on that super soft American Apparel tri-blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon: the trifecta of comfort. It's available in unisex sizes XS through XXL for only $17.99, in the store and online. (Sorry, "Stripey the Neighborhood Alley Cat" is not included with your purchase.)

Might We Suggest...

Ever wonder what those beautiful people behind the counter at WHY Louisville would throw in their shopping cart if they were in your shoes? The new "Staff Picks" section of our Web store is a great way to pick their brains for some fan-tastic product suggestions. Our voluminous product catalog can intimidate, we know. Staff Picks is a great place to start your search for the perfect gift. Our particularly picky staff is more than happy to make some friendly suggestions of their favorite WHY Louisville goods.

While you're there, you'll get to know the WHY Louisville staff a little better with some factoids and trivia. Did you know that we have a clerk named Biscuit? That there's an actual, living, breathing dragon who works at WHY Louisville (and happens to be a hell of a screen printer)? Were you aware that our official-unofficial mascot was actually the official-official mascot for an entirely different and much larger corporation in the 1980s? We've stirred your curiosity, no doubt. Head to the Staff Picks page to learn all the details!

Where The WHY Louisville Tee Shirts Are

There's nothing better than a well lit, well composed photo of Max Records, star of the feature film Where The Wild Things Are, wearing one of WHY Louisville's exclusive Robot Kids' Shirts--especially if that photo is taken by none other than the film's director, Spike Jonze.

Unfortunately, we don't have a photo like that.

What we do have is a blurry, back-lit photo of Max's little brother Sam wearing a Robot Kids' Shirt taken by none other than director Spike Jonze himself. (Don't worry. What Spike lacks in cell phone camera photography skills he more than compensates for in film directing skills.) Getting Spike Jonze's own amateur photo of Max Records' little brother in a WHY Louisville tee is second best. But according to the LEO Weekly Reader's Poll of 2009, so is WHY Louisville! So here's to being a silver medal winner, Sam!

Spike's photo of Sam and Max comes to us thanks to the folks behind We Love You So--a blog highlighting some of the Wild Things encountered by the crew of Where The Wild Things Are during production of the film.

An Open Letter To Kathleen Lolley

Oh, nationally renown Louisville-based artist Kathleen Lolley. Is there any holiday you can't conquer with your whimsy? You've already stunned and delighted us with your Lolley Land window display during Halloween. Now you've gone and turned Christmas into a Burton-esque dreamscape of nightmarish wonder.

Just look at what you've wrought upon the holidays this time:



A beautifully hand-crafted, limited edition Strawberry and Bee Christmas Tree Ornament. The anthropomorphic bee creature on the front is obviously up to no good and should be kept far away from innocent people's Christmas presents. On the back side of his strawberry home are a couple of bee minions on their way to do his dirty work. Gosh dang, Kathleen Lolley. The ornaments are adorable, captivating, and irresistible. And since they're only $25, no Christmas tree will be safe from your magic! How DO you do it?



As if the ornaments weren't enough, you had to go and make some amazing holiday cards, too. It's well known that more and more people are befriending and giving holiday gifts to Yetis this year, so obviously you jumped at the chance to make your "Friends With A Yeti" card as widely available as possible. It's as if you knew that I, personally, have an uncle who is a lovable Tree Being, and I'm always looking for the right way to wish him a happy Hanukkah. I really have no choice but to send him your "Owl & Tree Hug" card. And how did you know that my sister constantly has an owl friend perched upon her right shoulder? How can she resist your "Happy Holidays" card that features none other than an owl perched upon a girl's right shoulder? Truly you are a warden of magical beasts.

The most maniacal part of your whole plan is that your ornaments and cards, as well as your T-shirts, pillows, and other accessories, are conveniently available at WHY Louisville. Hell, most of them can even be ordered online. Like the Grinch before you, surely you will not be satisfied until you've either conquered Christmas or the Whos down in Whoville have made your heart grow three sizes.
