Our good friends at One to One Print Shop collaborated with our 12 year old to create this limited edition t-shirt! Our daughter is a cat person living in a dog loving household. She loved our yellow dog and is devoted to our current pups, but she dreams of one day having a house entirely designed around her future cats. She draws toys, designs cat trees, creates entire rooms based on what would make cats happy. This is a collaboration made in independent business utopia - One to One, we love you all!

This photo was taken our first year in business (2013). In some ways 2020 feels the same as starting a new business - changing things on the fly, the immense amount of communication to customers, coming up with new ideas... . It’s exhausting but we’re grateful that folks are still reading through this pandemic. And through that shared love of books we’re still finding connection with our community. . . #momandpopshop #bookshop #polaroid #smallbusiness #shopsmall
