Our Dishware is Here!


Check out our new dishes, they are finally here! We have our BEAUTIFUL mugs which are TDF (to die for!) featuring Riggsbee, our mascot, Hand Dancers, Menage a Trois, Imagination and Miss Diva. You don't know who they are? Well I am going to post some photos. The dishes are awesome, we have a 3 point dish and a square cake dish, the aforementioned GORGEOUS mugs and our tea pots and tea jars. It's the perfect set for cake and tea time. And just so you know we love cake around here.

I like the sets of mixed 3 point dishes and mugs for guests, because, of course (!) it adds a whimsical element to coffee and tea time.

Mugs- $25
Plates- $24
Tea Pot- $60
Canister- $58



Check them out.
And.. be JOYed!

So Now you know Miss Diva is our cat, Riggsbee is our dog.

Opening Night- February 5th

The opening night of the collaboration between me, Robin and Sok Song is approaching-- and we've been so busy assembling all the pieces. We've been helped out so much by Steve and Hiroko of Leffot-- and if you are in Greenwich Village, please stop by and see what we're doing in the marriage of the world of graphics with the world of origami.

The event is going to be at the Gallery of Leffot which is located at 10 Christopher Street between Ave of the Americas and Gay St. We're going to be in the back, and you can't miss us. The opening night party is going to be hosted by our good friend Patrick McDonald. If you are going to come by, please send us an email so that we can confirm you. The event is from 7-9 in the evening. RSVP to robin@robinjoy.com if you would like to come and meet us!

beJOYed!

Installation at Leffot


Check out one of our favorite sites, The Sartorialist's pieces on Leffot. Remember, our upcoming exhibition is at the Gallery of Leffot.

Friday Meeting

Guess What! We are going to be in a film about people who are passionate about what they do. Today, we had a meeting with Patrick McDonald (who is not 67!), stylish and handsome man-about-town, who is hosting our show at the gallery of Leffot coming up in just 20 days. Sok is here and he's folding away while we all plan fun events for the upcoming year. Miss Flavia, the super cool jewelry designer/comedienne and lots of other things, is planning her trunk show here for some time in late April. It's going to be awesome. Miss Shivani highly covets her fantastic 18K gold 'flavia' gold band (but would much rather have it say 'shivani' ;).

Friday Funday, right before Saturday FLatterday and Sunday Funday.

The Store- An Ever-Changing Mural


What we're working with here!
Here's a little taste of the store before we added all our accents. We live in an ever mutating world, with constantly changing wall murals-- but the black and white illustrations will always be the basis of what we do here. I hope you guys can get an idea of our space here-- and we'll keep adding new pictures so you can see how we're evolving over time.

Ch-ch-check it out.

Mexico to Manhattan

So I am going to be returning from Mexico tomorrow-- and it's going to be 4-7" of snow. Mexico to Manhattan!

Meanwhile, we've had some great visitors in the store. Shivani met with Bradley Ersam of Bradley Ersam Designs-- he retools bikes (motorbikes to tricycles) and does art that's as detailed as mine-- but very different. A real renaissance man. Check out his work at www.bradleyersamdesigns.com

We'll be getting back to work on the installation exhibition with Sok-- if he's ready to brave the storm.
Stay warm!
