Back in San Francisco 🌉

We’re so glad to be back home after more than two months away.

This summer gave us the chance to explore unique work experiences and connect with truly inspiring, talented, and hardworking people. We’re deeply grateful for it.

We hope you’ve enjoyed reading about our summer adventures as much as we’ve enjoyed writing them — and judging by the high open rates, it seems you did. Thank you so much for following along! 💛

👉 For all our new subscribers: you can still catch up on past newsletters.

Now we’re starting a fresh homeschool year. We’ve already had a market day back in the city, and our cards have found a place in new stores around San Francisco. If you’re curious which designs customers love most, you can explore our bestsellers on the website.

In a future issue, we’ll dive deeper into what it’s like to sell in stores vs. at markets.

We’re excited for what’s ahead. Fall is one of our favorite times to create — the change of season always sparks fresh ideas and colors for our cards. With Halloween, pumpkin patches, and San Francisco’s sunny fall days on the way, we’ve already begun working on Halloween cards and can’t wait to share them with you soon.

Quiz Time!

🎁 The first person to reply will win one of our handmade cards as a gift! Simply email us with your choice (A, B, C, or D). We’ll announce the winner in the next issue.
