Happy birthday to you, Fab.com. Seriously, how much you've grown for a 1 year old. Today, 5 million people use Fab to discover everyday design products, many of which are made by midwestern-based artists, designers and small companies. Over the past year, Fab's members purchased 3.4 products per minute which equates to 1,788,226.6 fine pieces of design from companies like VFish, DiBi, Shades of Grey and New Breed Furniture. Happy birthday, and may we wish the kind folks at Fab many more superfabulous years of giving local designers their '15 minutes' in the flash sale limelight. [The Management]
