our new website FINALLY launched

Exactly two years to the day that the original Freddy&Ma site launched, we have launched a new website.  While most of the changes are behind the scenes, many many many changes were made to the site to make it easier to navigate and also, to make it easier to design custom bags, pillows, plates and some other products we have in the pipeline.  Head over to www.freddyandma.com, click around and let us know what you think in the comments for this post!

Vote Tote sales so far...

Curious how our Vote Totes have been selling?  Check out the graph below which shows who is winning our 'election'.  Two things to note: Democrats as a whole are doing quite well, though Hillary sold 90% of her bags before Christmas, since then Obama has ruled the roost.  The second is that with thousands of totes in circulation, our goal has been achieved of getting out our message of the importance of voting and participating in the political process!!!

VOTE today (if you can)

Super_tuesday It's super tuesday.  If you live in one of these states, take a few minutes and head to the polls.  No matter which way you lean, fall into a polling booth today because our country is a lot better off with your political view expressed than without it.  And if you have not purchased one yet, our vote totes are a GREAT way to express your political bent.  We are selling them 20% off today, use the code SUPERTUES during checkout.

Custom melamine plates - by Freddy&Ma

We are pleased to announce, that after months of effort, our custom melamine plates are now available for sale.  More info to follow later, but for now head over to freddyandma.com and start designing.   

These plates are made out of durable melamine and are dishwasher safe but need to be kept out of the microwave.  They are a BARGAIN at $12.00 each so we suggest ordering yourself 2 or 12. 

Vote Totes by Freddy&Ma

Democrat_toteHere at Freddy&Ma we are quite conscious of both politics and the environment.  Our new Vote Tote bags lets people know that you mean business when it comes to saving the environment plus our funky screen print makes a subtle reference to which way your political pendulum swings.  Ok, so maybe it is not very subtle.

Made of durable cotton canvas of a recycled variety, this simple tote has a million uses and will hopefully keep you from having to use as many plastic bags as you go about your shopping trips.

We are going to be making a variety of prints in the Vote Tote series with each color way limited to 100 pieces, so if you want one, click here and order today!!!!

We have a few new styles in our limited edition section.  We have been selling these bags through our trunk shows and select retail stores for a few months and they have been extremely popular.  Once you purchase one, we will contact you to go over the customization process.  Act fast as our current production is limited!
