If Steve Urkel owned a few sweet bowties from Intwined and ditched those suspenders, he would have had Laura swooning for him in no time! Are we right or are we right?

The Intwined Story
A company that seeks to combine two elements that fundamentally clash, but when paired together, are a match made in heaven. Intwined proves that opposites attract and can form …
A splash of vintage and a cool dash of modern minimalism – Blockhead Press screenprints are just that! And there’s something for everyone, from cute latte stuffies to stylin’ skull belt buckles. Here at Modern Mouse we’ve been taking turns rocking out on the awesome Flying V and Stratocaster guitar stuffies. We love Blockhead Press “a latte”!!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Talk about a great way to end the week: I found out last night that Alameda Magazine picked Modern Mouse as Best Indie Design Store in its “The Best of Alameda 2010” issue that’s hot off the presses!
If I could grab both your hands right now and jump up and down in ecstatic, squealing jubilation…you can bet I would!
As soon as I got home from the store last night, Jimmy (aka Mr. Mouse) strolled casually out the door to greet me.
Jimmy: “Have you seen the Best …
They say that signage is a store’s “silent salesperson”, helping communicate important messages to guests without even saying a word. Which is why I wanted to take the time today to celebrate all the fun storefront signs that none other than our girl Reagan has been whipping up week to week at Modern Mouse!
If you’ve walked through the shopping center anytime within the past few months, you’ve probably seen our colorful spinning wheel…and maybe even admired the artwork underneath it every now and then! That would be the work …
