Since this post we have had two visitors to inkdish.com from Wyoming! One person from Laramie, Wyoming even stayed for 7 minutes. We couldn’t be happier and hope that all our friends from Wyoming come again soon . Don’t go the way of Jaques LaRamie (who LaRamie, Wyoming is named after) a French trapper who disappeared in the Laramie Mountains in the late 1810s and was never heard from again.

It has been a busy stretch for us at Ink Dish. We had trade shows in Seattle, LA, and New York. We debuted Alyson Fox’s new collection. And we signed on two new artists, David Palmer and Dana Oldfather.

The combination of these events, strongly helped by some great press including Design Sponge and Apartment Therapy, has pushed our website well over 2,000 visitors in the last 30 days. I played around with Google Analytics and discovered that we have had visitors from 71 countries and 49 of the 50 states in the U.S.

I think we can do better. I’m talking to you Wyoming. Wyoming you were the only state we didn’t get a single visitor from in the last 30 days. So, I did some research to see if this was an anomaly. The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb is coming up March 25 and maybe everyone is busy practicing. But it got worse, on deeper investigation to the best of my knowledge we have never had a visitor from Wyoming to inkdish.com.

So, I am making a personal appeal. I am not asking for miracles, just for a little effort. We had two visits from Yemen in the last 30 days, I think Wyoming should at least be able to match that. Please Wyoming, check out Ink Dish, tell me what you think, and let’s work together to make sure everyone in the country has access to beautiful, designer tableware.

As I final push we have created the following precarious stack of Paul Timman dinnerware inspired by Devil’s Tower in Wyoming as a tribute. Devil’s tower is America’s first state park and famous for its prevalence in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
