Got'em!!!

Got the shade today and got to meet the maker!! Thanks for meeting me Kristan, and thanks for letting Volley & Zoreo hang out!!

Great job, my kids first reaction when I had them peek in the garage was giggles for 3 minutes straight! They're a hit!

Wow, I'm really loving seeing everyone's pics of their Eyeshades! Especially nice to see one on a Countryman... and such a handsome Countryman, too!

According to UPS, my Eyeshades should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait!

Hey Kristan, is it still possible for new orders to do custom designs? (Different iris size/expression)

My Eyeshade arrived today! And it looks AWESOME! I can't wait for Barnaby to arrive so I can try it on him.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic on my living room floor, but it's the best I can do tonight:



Barnaby's a very thoughtful Mini. Thanks SO much, Kristan! It looks FANTASTIC! I adore it. And I'm super impressed with the quality of the shade itself, the printing, the color match (from memory, at least), and of course the design! Any chance I could get one for my husband's Tundra in the future?

That is some good flooring you have there! That hand scraped Mohawk stuff is some of the hardest stuff I have ever had to tear out of a house.
How long until your new family member arives?

Rktcyntst, I agree a MINI5280 ride starting or ending in a Toys-R-Us parking lot may need to be in order for theese.

Yep! I can make Eyeshades for nearly any vehicle!
In fact, check out this Toyota Sienna and FJ Cruiser that just received their Eyeshades:

Thanks! I wish I could say it was hand-scraped, but it's actually an inexpensive knock-off floating floor. Glad to hear it looks like the real thing!

My CM should be here mid-December. He just completed production yesterday! So now it's all down to how long it takes to get on a boat. There's one leaving on the 19th, and another on the 23rd. I'm keeping a close eye on the progress, believe me!

Sweet! Those look awesome! I love the monocle! I think I really might have to order one for him for Christmas! I just need to get the "official" color name, and I'll be submitting my order!

All of the pre-order group purchase shades have shipped. Some have arrived, some are still traveling, and some have just started their travels. Purchasers with United States destinations will also have been sent UPS tracking numbers to their email addresses (the ones they use for Paypal). If for some reason you didn't get that email, just PM or email me and I will get that number to you so that you can track your shade.

Hopefully customs doesn't hold on to mine for too long! I love seeing the pictures of the MINIs with their shades on thus far.

To add to what I said above, only those in the States will have gotten a UPS tracking number. That option wasn't available for the international shipments unfortunately. Really hoping that they go through customs quickly for those of you in Canada and other countries.

Mad Maxx arrived home yesterday. I have a photo of him with his new eyes in my Gallery. Can't seem to load it here.

Mickey and Merlin were able to meet up for a club brunch today. I'm not sure how well they got along though.
