Foxy Furniture Gazette, Issue #5
July 18, 2005
Dear Friends,
It seemed appropriate to add a news letter of sorts to
our website. We have reached the one year mark since we
launched Foxy Furniture and introduced the Criss-Cross. It
has been a busy year - and we've come much further than we
ever had dreamt.
We at Foxy Furniture would like to thank all of you
out there for helping to make our first year of business a
success. So many of you have shared your thoughts and
ideas with us these past twelve months and we always enjoy
hearing from you. And to those first customers back then,
we especially thank you for taking that leap of faith and
ordering on line from us - a new product concept - and then
taking the time to share your warm comments and positive
feedback with us. Thank you one and all. We never thought
we would burn out the motor on our table saw in such a
short period of time...
On another note, we began exhibiting our products at
BDSM trade shows, to reach folks - 'up close and personal.
Our first show, the annual GWWN Bash here in Austin, was a
terrific success. This past spring we were at South Plains
Leatherfest in Dallas, followed by the Houston S&M Ball.
We then ventured beyond Texas to the "show me" state for
"Beat Me in St. Louis". Last month, it was International
Mr. Leather in Chicago. And last week, we exhibited at the
Lifestyles Convention in Las Vegas (a swingers group as a
marketing experiment). Whew!
What a wonderful way to meet enthusiastic people of
like minds! So much energy abounds at these events for
attendees as well many other venders. It was difficult to
feel tired even after a long road trip and then having to
"set up shop" upon arrival. If any of you out there have
ever considered attending an event (such as any of the
above mentioned, or one closer to home), and have not yet
done so, we highly recommend such an adventure!
We were awed by the number of you who made a special
point of seeking out our booth because you had already
visited our website, and came to see us when you had
learned we would be vending at the show. Many of you -
after seeing our furniture for the first time - brought
friends back to the booth to show them our work. Money
cannot buy that type of advertising. Thank you!
Upcoming trade shows include Thunder in the Mountains
July 22-24 in Denver and Living in Leather September 16-18
in Oklahoma City. If you're going to either event, please
stop by and say Howdy.
We are happy to say, that we are ever so close to
finally introducing our newest piece(s). We believe they
will be stylish additions to any "vanilla" household, as
well as sleek dungeon play equipment. These things seem to
take so long to reach marketability. All the other factors
aside, safety is of paramount importance to us. Getting
glitches out of the designs for our furniture which is also
intended for transformation into safe, structurally sound
play pieces is often tedious and frustrating. Each
prototype is tested many times, remade, retested again and
again until we are completely satisfied with the end
product. Needless to say, all that tedious testing is
often the best part of the whole process.
And on a final note: After many inquiries about the
possibility of crafting our pieces from wood other than
American Pine, we are happy to be able to say, Yes, we can!
Please note - all prices listed on the Web site are for
pine. Due to wide variances in the many hardwood prices,
we would need to price each piece according to whatever the
wood's unique cost might be...
So, this about wraps up this first "issue" of the Foxy
Furniture Gazette. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions or comments about us, our website, or our pieces.
We would love to hear from you!
Thank you!
Lady Hera
