Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Hats Off

I designed these new Curious Sofa (summer) business cards above, bookmark size.
We will change these every season with a new yard-long photo.

Mid-May Greetings everyone!
It has been one wet Spring for Kansas City and if there is a dead plant anywhere to be found, it never had a chance to begin with! The rain has come down in some fashion nearly every single day for a month now so we are green to the core. Segue into all the new and funky hats we are offering for him and her to protect, adorn and flaunt. I have always said the best make-do accessory is a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Crawl out of bed on Sunday morning with those and no need to worry about who you'll run into at breakfast.
