Shirts that Rock
Music is a passion, a living, and a business. For many bands, it's about inspiring and making it into the millions of iTunes libraries that walk around in iPods all day. But it's about making a living with what you love doing most, working a career that's meaningful and getting noticed. (hmm, sounds familiar) So when I came across Yellow Bird Project, I thought it was such a creative way for Indie bands to do just that. //Read More
Patterns, Pouches, Purses!

Reduce: Plastic Bag Alternatives
It's been about 2 years now that Derrick and I've been using cloth bags for groceries and if it weren't for them, our closet would be exploding. Our Save-On cloth bag was the best until I spilled raw meat juices inside... it was well built for lugging groceries over long distances.

But around the world, Pantone is quite the cultural phenomenon. //Read More
