I am a super-huge fan of buyolympia.com - here's a description of who they are from their website:

We're a small, three-person operation located in Portland, Oregon. We started back in 1999 in Olympia, Washington as a way to help our friends sell their awesome handmade items online, and have since grown to have a lot more friends from all over world.

They are having a $10 tee shirt sale here: http://www.buyolympia.com/q/Sale

Check them out! Other handmade and printed items are on sale as well, like toddler shoes and books, calendars and decorative coasters. The "Reading is Sexy" tee by Sarah Utter that became so popular after Rorie wore one on Gilmore Girls is represented in many colors, also "Knitting is Knotty", "Crafty Lady" (with a drawing of a sewing machine), and many librarian-related shirts by the same excellent artist.

There is a black "Sexy Sexy Bicycle" shirt for those of you who are members of the john_farr community. (Or maybe you just support alternate, non-gas-guzzling means of transportation.)

There is a baby onesie in black with a skull and crossbones on it. If I could, I would have a baby JUST TO HAVE A REASON TO BUY THIS ONESIE.

For utter design coolness, there are tee shirts bearing a simple font name, and the font name is IN THAT FONT. To paraphrase Willy Wonka, "The Helvetica is in Helvetica! The Futura is in Futura! The Garamond is in Garamond!" (_tweeter_, this is where I got you that "Chicago" font tee shirt when they first showed up on the site. Your city is so cool, it has a font named after it! I wish there were a New York font tee for me!)

I buy holiday and birthday gifts for a number of nieces, I'm going to stock up on cute tees that they could never find at their local mall. All that, and more, is on sale. There are also a lot of non-sale items by various artists that you might also be interested in at the site; nothing is overpriced, all of it is either beautifully or interestingly designed.
