It's Saint Patrick's Day and the weather in New York City is gorgeous. Below our office windows, the marching bands are massing on West 44th Street before following the green line up Fifth Avenue for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade: the Merchant Marine Band, the Tiger Band from Middlebury, Vermont, bonnet-wearing horses being unloaded at the site of the old Hippodrome. Bagpipes!!
Inside our office, it's festive, too. We just found out that two of our Mudpuppy products were awarded the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Awards for 2009:
Zoo Animals Block Puzzle, 9 sturdy 2-inch illustrated blocks that can form six different pictures as illustrated by Betsy Snyder:
The second Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal awardwinner is our Under the Sea 63-piece Puzzle illustrated in vibrant colors by Helen Dardik:

Our design team was excited to see that today's post on Design Sponge, one of the most recognized design blogs, featured Galison products that are new for Spring '09 and called them "fun new stationery and office designs...color, pattern, affordable prices." Scroll down below the pictures of new releases from Heath Ceramics to see a selection of what's new in stationery and home office desk items. For example, Maxine Sutton mini journal notepads, Dandelion file tote, and Winterthur Flowers perpetual ("birthday") calendar:

So it's a good day here at Galison/Mudpuppy!

Hi,
You seem to have GREAT things, however I beg of you or anyone listening to make nice coupon holders with more than 6 dividers. I need at least 8 - 10. Everything on the market has either too few dividers OR is cheaply made. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
