We had our best day yet at Eastern Market, Shed 1. I think the routine of getting up EARLY, driving into the city, setting up, and then smiling at countless customers who walk past and don’t even give him a glance is finally beginning to pay off. Being at Eastern Market is good practice for Teddy of what the mundane world of world can really be like. At conferences he gets a ton of positive feedback – and he needs that – but if someday he decides to abandon Teddy’s Ts and get a more typical job, he is going to need the skills he is learning at Eastern Market.
Come see Teddy at Eastern Market. He is in the original Eastern Market Shed – Shed 1. It is across the street and a block away from Shed 2 and 3. The Pottery Guy owns the shed, not Eastern Market – and he sells every kind of pot you can imagine. Lots of them your will never see at English Gardens – especially not at the price he sells them for. He also sells plants and soil and knows plants and will give you help. Want to buy a plant elsewhere and but the pot there? Get it re-planted, too. Also loads of decorations for your garden – some only for $1.00.
There is also a vendor selling Kettle Korn and handmade soap. The blacksmith is set up that makes garden stands and special orders. Another tshirt vendor, Detroit Street Apparel, is there too. Teddy’s Ts also has a create your own button table. Always wanted a button that said XXX? Nows your chance. Come draw your design on a button template and see it made before your eyes.
The website might look the same, but its innards have been updated. Hopefully this means the site will work better. It will also mean, hopefully, more sales!
Teddy is now making mini buttons as fast as he can. His mom is having a great time coming up with new designs. The mini size lends itself to far more powerful messages that you might want to be a bit more discreet about. Teddy doesn’t really “get” what they all mean yet. He will.
New shirt! A bright lime green shirt, with a black frame letting the words “Disabled and Proud” pop-out. The “i” is a raised arm with the hand in a fist.
We have Sexy, Disabled, & Proud available for a short time in sleeveless versions. We might continue to make them or they might just be around for summer.
We have gotten lots of tshirts in stock, so the stock levels on the site might not be accurate yet. We are not printing the Justin Dart shirt again until 2015 for the 25th Anniversary of the ADA, but most sizes are still available. We are also going to phase out the Peace shirt for awhile. We still have a lot left, but they are very time intensive to make and we are going to focus on other shirts this year.
And finally, we have coupons! You can find them under “Shop”. There are just 3 right now. You enter a code during checkout. If you buy 3 tshirts you get a discount of $10.00 (buy 3). If you buy 10 mini buttons, you get a 50% discount (buy 10). And the opportunity to make a donation to the Society for Disability Studies and get a 5¢ discount for yourself (SDS).
Come meet Teddy and his Mom and learn how Teddy’s Ts transitioned from a tiny little idea selling tshirts someone else designed and produced to Teddy’s business of today with over a dozen original tshirt designs and nearly 4 dozen buttons. Teddy will talk about how it feels to be an entrepreneur and what he loves most about his business. Susan will discuss the decisions made to move the business from what it was to what it is. You will learn about the level of commitment needed to make a micro enterprise a success.You will hear about the mistakes made a long the way so you don’t have to repeat them. You will have an idea of what good choices were made by design or happenstance that caused Teddy’s Ts to be successful. There will be an opportunity to buy both tshirts and buttons. (Cash or credit)
We want to have a new autism button for this weekend. So we are having a contest. Come up with an idea and if we use it we will send you 6 buttons and credit on the website. It can be just words or an image.
We will have another contest next month!
Is it empty under your tree? Teddy’s mom has totally maxed out her credit so that Teddy’s Ts can have every shirt you might want in stock for your shopping pleasure! Label Jars not People – a perennial favorite is available in long sleeves as an experiment. If they prove popular they will become a regular item. Continue reading Shopping for the holidays!
We have lots of new buttons…more all the time. We have about 30 different designs.

All buttons are priced at $3.00. All button magnets at $4.00. Both buttons and magnets ship free.
