Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe-Store Blog

Our good friend Christy is a self-proclaimed Crazy Cat Lady. Not only does she care for six of her own indoor cats, she also has a habit of taking in strays, getting them medical attention, then placing them in loving homes.
Well, Christy has just taken in three more stray kittens that need a home ASAP. These three kittens are approximately six months old. There are two males (one white, one tabby) and one female (white). These kittens have not yet been spayed/neutered.







The two boys are very sweet and playful. The girl is still very skittish, and will require some extra patience and TLC.
If you or someone you know is ready for a new kitten in your life, please contact Christy via email: cs131082@yahoo.com. There will be a small fee and a screening process to weed out the jerks, but we know that no jerks read the Cosmo's blog, right?!
Please consider adopting a kitten!

We will probably remind you about this seventeen more times in the next few weeks. Come out, meet Josh and say "hi"! Please? We'll have baked goods.

First of all, we just received a new shipment of the fast-selling supplement V Pure. So there ya go.

Next, we are trying to speed up autumn by offering two cool new hoodie styles from Herbivore Clothing. Check out the Zip Up "Cross" Hoodie and the bright red "Wings Are For Flying Not Frying" Hoodie.

Also, your new favorite cookbook just came in- The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. It's good to practice baking before the holidays, right?

Finally, we have been searching high and low for some good quality handbags that have a classic appeal, but still fall within our strict "no sweatshop" standards. Well, we have found a beautiful line of bags made by a company called Crystalyn Kae, and you can get a sneak peak at these new bags here. These styles will be arriving at the store on Tuesday, and they are available for pre-order on the site now! Crystalyn Kae bags are particularly unique because they are not made of the typical vinyl or PU materials. Crystalyn Kae bags are actually made with a special glazed fabric, that feels soft and buttery smooth, like leather but way better! Each bag is handcrafted in the Crystalyn Kae studio in Seattle, WA.

Hooray for fall! Now if only it would stop being 85F here in Atlanta...

For a limited time, we have Sheese on sale for only $7.00! These are short-dated, hence the sale. So you better hurry before the new shipment comes in!

Do you have the evening of Monday, October 8th free? You do? Good! Because Cosmo's is hosting a release party for Herbivore Magazine's Issue 14, with editor extraordinaire Josh Hooten in attendance. Josh will be doing a reading from Issue 14, and of course there will be vegan goodies for you to graze on.
We will have more specific details as soon as we can. In the meantime, mark your calendars!

Have you purchased something from us that you loved? Or hated? Did you think that food bar was a bit dry, or did it fulfill your wildest food bar expectations? Do you want to proclaim your unhealthy love for Tings for all the world to read? Then consider writing a product review!
All you do is find the product that you would like to review on our site, and click "Add Your Review" at the bottom of the page. From there you can write your review, and even give the product a rating. Of course, instead of stars, the ratings are Cosmo heads. Cosmo is even wearing a jaunty derby hat for the ratings.
Cats in hats, folks. It doesn't get any better than that.
The following is our favorite product review so far. Can you top it?


"I've long been a proponent of Payless' non-leather selection of dress shoes, but was always disappointed at how quickly the shoes fell apart or started to stink worse than week-old underwear. Perhaps I shouldn't have worn my bargain footwear while practicing for an upcoming luge tournament... Ah well, lesson learned.
Anyway, I bit the bullet and handed over a C-note-and-change for a pair of Kent Clarke's from Cosmo's. I was more than happy to support the business, but was worried about how well the shoes would hold up.
After two weeks of daily wear I'm sold on them, though I already bought 'em, so that makes no sense. I wear a 9.5 so I bought a 10 (or the euro equivalent thereof), and they fit great. The only possible complaint would be that they squeak when I rub them together. Although I think it's great, my co-workers might disagree slightly." - Carter Davis, Gainesville, Florida.

Thanks Carter! We're glad you like your shoes!

Once available only from Switzerland,
V Pure is the first 100% vegan Omega 3 supplement that contains both DHA and EPA. V Pure is better than fish oil- better for the environment, better for your health, and better for the fish!

Fresh off the wheel... new pottery by Jeanette Zeis of Vegan Dish! Check out these beautiful starter kits in Blue, Green, and Green Script. Also available is this cute Dessert Kit, and two new coffee mugs: Blue and Antique Rose. How great would it be to give Vegan Dish-ware as a gift to your favorite vegan? It's perfect!

And our new favorite shirt in the whole world is by Herbivore Clothing Company (of course). It's message is simple: Eat Like You Give A Damn. Also new from Herbivore, two great new totes- Cow Hugger and Vegetarianism Is Environmentalism.
