We're proud to launch a collaboration project with our talented friends at Raff Embossing with a series of limited edition prints they have hand printed in our D.C shared space in support of two organizations we admire for their persistence and a press for sustainable change in our country. Today is also a historic day in Washington, D.C. as the House of Representatives will take a decisive step toward making it the 51st state. 

Our goal with these prints is two-fold: to directly support organizations working to better the community and serve as tactile and visual reminder as news cycles change, of the work that is still left to be done. We hope you will display the print(s) with pride in your home, office, or business and thank you kindly for your support!

All proceeds from the sale of these prints will go to the D.C. chapter of BLACK LIVES MATTER and the Innocence Project, based on print(s) selected. All proceeds (minus shipping costs and a .56 Shopify transaction fee) means $9.44 of each print sold will be donated. Raff Embossing and Wee Bee Box have donated all supplies, time and materials for this project.

Though we've been savoring every minute of summer we mamas are ready for school to start and to hit reset on daily schedules, routines and getting everyone back into the school groove! Just in time for back to school are a few of our favorite tools to inspire creativity and books to inspire courage for learning. 

We proudly carry items from the new Appointed For Kids Capsule Collection - a curated assortment of quality tools to inspire young creatives from the creative genius (and mama...and one of our lifelong best pals) Suann Song, the founder of Appointed. The jumbo pencil set, spiral sketchpads, jumbo sketchpad and notebook set are all to be coveted and we certainly wish our backpacks were full of this cool-for-school back in our elementary school days.

Math can be terribly fun with the prettiest math book ever! The "Terrible Times Tables" book is modern day multiplication primer with witty lines about the school year, paired brilliantly with beautiful illustrations. We promise wee bee's will have a terrible time putting it down! 

Be sure to check out everything else on our back to school "list" in the shop...and happy new school year to all! xo

We hope you can stop by for holiday shopping & merriment on Saturday, December 15th from 11 am - 4 pm at Appointed in Washington, DC. For more information click here.
