Things are happening! Last week we had the pleasure of (finally) meeting our friends at G A M 🐋, this week we’ve collected an amazing array of donations for our 6/27 fine arts and paper swap with Queen City Framing & Art Supplies, andddd…we’ve been working on some special projects that we think y’all are gonna like ✨ 🦋 🏠

We can’t wait to tell you more 💜 🐀
