Flocking to blacksheepstyle

Style is often elusive in this off-the-rack world.

So what are you supposed to do if you're not an off-the-rack kind of shopper?

If you appreciate clothes that set you apart from
the flock, you'll enjoy the winsome, witty and wholly original T-shirts available at http://www.blacksheepstyle.com/

Designed by Haddonfield native Nancy Whitcraft, the winner of a poster contest in third grade, these comfy cotton basics offer unique flair. They range from edgy skull motifs to such bonbons as a whisper soft tee depicting a slice of layer cake and the word 'baby' beneath. Baby cake, get it?

My personal fave is a design featuring a doe-eyed deer, with with fun pun 'Dear" in script below. Now, that's a T-shirt sure to have your friends fawning over it. In addition, your purchase helps animals, including sheep; 5 percent of proceeds are donated to charities which benefit animals.

Even better, it's an opportunity for the best in retail indulgence: buying quality goods, supporting a home-grown artist and being kind to animals. As my mother says, what's not to like? Price start at $18.

Whitcraft, who now makes her home in California, is an accomplished artist who has exhibited widely in shows and galleries -- which just goes to show the judges of that long-ago poster contest knew what they were doing.
