| Every week, Garrison Keillor signs off his "News from Lake Wobegon" monologue with the signature expression "Where the women are strong. The men are good looking. And all of the children are above average." Many fans at the live broadcasts expressed that this sentiment fit their family perfectly and, after seeing our personalized wood sign, asked if we had the quotation featured on a doormat. The wood sign was rectangular in shape, so we simply transferred the design to a rectangular-shaped doormat that can be personalized with a surname over the top of Garrison’s signature quote. Since then, we've gone through several different designs and were forced to switch vendors, and now we have settled on the half moon shape design that is a bit sturdier and crafted of natural coir with a rubber backing. Garrison is not the biggest fan of the doormat as when it first debuted for sale, it actually outsold his new book (never before had a gift item done this!). So, if the expression describes your family or one that you know that is headed by a strong woman, includes a good looking man and has “above average” children, you might give this wonderful doormat a try. If it’s perfect for the Bunsens, then it must be good enough for you! (NOTE: We order 300 of the substrates at a time and can take up to 12 weeks to produce and put notes on the website during times when we are out. BTW — the "The" comes pre-printed on the doormat above your last name and has garnered more than a few hilarious stories, so please be aware that it is pre-printed. Your last name will print exactly as you type it, so check punctuation and spelling!) As always, sign up for our Facebook fanpage to keep up with all the news! Have a great week!
