Play Music On The Porch Day 2016 is right around the corner! August 27th to be exact!!!
You don’t have to have overalls, or even a fatty mustache or beard…
just grab the noise maker of your choice and make some music!
ALSO… We blew our minds when we found some proofs from another print that
made for a fantastic background option! Another big, fat THANK YOU! to Emily @basecampprintingco for letting me make a mess of her shop and for digging
up the old proofs!
Ten in Ten — Ten prints in ten days! Talk about crazy!!!
Howdy Folks! This past few weeks I joined Emily of Base Camp Printing Co. (See her 10 in ten on Instagram: @basecampprintingco) in an attempt to produce 10 prints in 10 days. It was a wild ride and made for some late nights, but I couldn’t be happier with the body of work that came from it! All prints are available in the shop! Should you find one or two that you fancy, just click on the title and it link you to the Etsy shop!
Also, a big “THANK YOU!!!”, to all that purchased a “Jorja Fiddle” print. Thanks to you, we were able to raise and donate $200.00 dollars for EHE cancer research. For more info, visit http://fightehe.org. This organization is raising money for research into the type
of cancer that Jorja fought for so many years.
For you Instagram followers (@onthetrolley), be the first to answer these 3 questions and win a free #teninten print of your choice! (Not including the “Jorja Fiddle” Print as this is to raise money for EHE Cancer Research.) Good Luck!!!
Question 1: Where was Johnny Cash Born?
Question 2: Who wrote the song Pistol Packin’ Mama?
Question 3: Where can you donate money to help fight EHE?
That’s right, it’s your toothless Uncles’ take on the wise quote
we all know and love. Though he may have got it all jumbled up,
the sentiment rings true and you know he means well!!!

Time to send out your very best, be it truth or lies, to all those you care the most about, or to those you kinda-maybe-sorta care the most about, or at least to those you care enough about to make them insanely jealous of all your incredibly awesome accomplishments.
Good news, we can help!
That’s right, we carved up 3 new cards for the holidays and hope you will get in on the fun. You can use these along with your favorite family pic or just add a friendly holiday greeting and “get it in the post” (say it with the accent) to your Auntie Em across the pond.
Here’s some ideas we put together:
A.B.C.
A.JOY: A7 Card(5″x 7″ Landscape) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra with a 4″ x 4″ pic.
B.PEACE LOVE & EGGNOG:A7 Card (5″x 7″ Portrait) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra with a 4″ x 4″ pic. (Also added some fancy gold lick’em stick ’em photo frame corners!)
C.NOEL: #10 Card(9.75″x 3.875″ Landscape) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra 3.5″ x 5″ pic.
We just used a little double stick tape to attach the pics, but hey why stop there?
Get crazy, use brads, glue down some ribbon, you could even go as far as sewing on the the pictures. Main idea here is to get creative and have fun with it!
There is one catch though team… they are in limited supply.
Nothing says love like a handcrafted holiday card from On The Trolley.
Any questions? Drop us a line!
Thanks & Happy Holidays!!!!!
Your friends at On The Trolley
