Get Your AQ Whistles!

The whistles come in four colors:
blue, green, red, and purple.
A long, long time ago, way back on April 4, 2011, Housepitality Hostess posted to the message boards suggesting an AQ whistle for premium members. I liked the idea of a whistle--it's considered one of the ten essentials by many people and can help in an emergency when cell phone coverage is weak or spotty while out beating the trails in search of letterboxes. I saw no sense in restricting them just for premium members, but I liked the idea of an AQ whistle. So I poked around, looked up several companies that could create custom whistles, got some prices, and decided, hey--this is doable!

So I ordered them, and 100 bright and pretty whistles arrived this afternoon. Amanda grabbed a green one for herself, blew into it, and I can assure you--these things really work well! I ordered 25 in each of four different colors: red, blue, purple, and green.

And they are now available for sale in the AQ Marketplace! If you want one, order yours today! Once I sell out, I'm not sure if I'll order more or not. I guess it depends on how popular they are. I definitely won't be ordering more until I'm running low of all colors--so if you have a favorite color that sells out, there won't be more coming until maybe all of the other colors have sold out as well.

Happy (and safe!) trails!

"They've even been known to scare off moose!"

Sheesh, I'm not even safe in the Marketplace!

People need protection from you, Wassa. The eye bleach was designed to protect against you too. ;o)

Ryan said...

I just realized that I posted that I'm "not" out of purple and red. It was supposed to say "now"!

Doesn't matter, though--I'm NOW out of all colors, but I have ordered more and hopefully I'll have them available again in a couple of weeks! =)
