I am not kidding. Lionel Deimel has gone and done it. He's created a whole line of clothing and other "NO ANGLICAN COVENANT" products. Check it OUT!
Pictured above is the value T-shirt for only $9.99.
Read all about how Lionel's online shop came to be.
H/T to Torey Lightcap at The Lead.
Way to go, Lionel!
ReplyDeletePaul, I suggested to Lionel that he send a few free samples to the ABC. Could be that Rowan may send business his way.
ReplyDeleteI saw the story at the Cafe, but I love yours.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Grandmère, about a little gift box to the ABC. I hope Lionel does it.
I'd like to see ++Canterbury wearing a "No Anglican Covenant" hoody.
ReplyDeleteBetter leap in and create a "Buy at Mimi's Store" button.
ReplyDeleteThese look perfect for Diocesan convention!
ReplyDeleteLisa, thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteCounterlight, when a person with a beard wears a zipped-up hoody, does the beard go inside or out?
Lapin, I'm not going commercial, yet, although Grandpère says I should make money from all the time that I spend on the blog.
These look perfect for Diocesan convention!
Wade, I believe that was one intention behind Lionel's idea to open the online shop.
Re "I'm not going commercial", the other day I was checking the biography of Jean Daniélou, the French Jesuit cardinal who passed away in 1974 on the premises of a Paris brothel. Bit inconvenient. Seems the madame of that establishment went by the handle "Mimi".
ReplyDelete'Twasn't my establishment, Lapin. With a husband and three children, I had no time to run a brothel, much less commute to Paris to do business.
ReplyDeleteI remain amazed at the arcane bits of information that you share with us.
Mimi, I seem to recall that Lapin is/was a member of that noblest of professions, in which you also served.
ReplyDelete'Nuf said?
LOL! Guilty as charged, Lisa. But Lapin far outclasses little me in collecting arcana. But then he is a rare book specialist, and I am not. Rare book specialists are a breed all their own. A good many folks think all librarians are God's odd children, but not a few librarians, hold the view that rare book specialists are amongst the oddest of the odd. I'm just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave emailed you on this topic, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteLibrarians, rare book librarians in particular, can be pretty odd birds, no question.
ReplyDeleteAnd there I was thinking journalism was the noblest of all professions.
ReplyDelete(Only jokin'.)
For those who don't know, Grandpère is also a retired librarian, too. We met in graduate school. He's the antithesis of the stereotype of the librarian. Often folks are amazed when he says what he did for a living. "You a librarian!" For one thing, he's rather loud, and he's hyper, too. I'm closer to the stereotype.
ReplyDeleteAll the librarians that I've known had stormy operatic love lives. The artists in my life had fairly quiet stable love lives in comparison.
ReplyDeletePerhaps our lives were stormy and operatic in the early days, but the love life was always stable. As time went on, we lost much of our energy for arguments, and I think we realized that a good many of the things we argued about were not that important.
ReplyDeleteThe world of librarians was the one in which I lived and moved and had my income for over 20 years, Grandmère, until I moved to this even more arcane profession.
ReplyDeleteI will say this from personal experience: Librarians are hot! BTW, they are also known in the hotel industry as among the hard-drinkingest of professions.
Librarians are hot!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! As to the drinking, GP and I are exceptions. He hardly drinks at all, and I usually have my single, daily, medicinal glass of red wine. On festive occasions, I may have two glasses.
"..among the hard-drinkingest of professions" But not into all vices. A mid-70's annual convention of ALA held, for some unaccountable reason, at Las Vegas, was rated the resort's worst-ever week for gambling profits.
ReplyDeleteLapin, I remember when I heard about the convention in Las Vegas, I thought, "WTF!". Had I been there, the casinos wouldn't have got much out of me. On my few visits to the casinos around here, I set aside $40 to gamble, and when that's gone, I'm done. And if I happen to win, which I did a couple of times to the tune of $100 or so, I take my money and run.
ReplyDeleteCan someone do a "Don't invite me to the tea party!" shirt now?
ReplyDeleteDP, Café Press will do whatever you ask them to do.
