Wow. What kind of human does this? How broken are you to deface public art?

If you look for it, you can find greatness in people. I love that most of us are full of kindness, compassion, generosity and forgiveness.

I also want to punch someone in the eye.

For 25 years we have been serving the wedding industry. 2020 was a year like no other in our lifetime. Our biggest lesson was not about how to pivot when events are cancelled. Unlike many of our industry
partners, we thrived last year. Our greatest physical challenge was filling
a record number of orders of our handmade goods, while our staff all stayed
safe at home. What we learned last year was not about our work, or just how
many consecutive hours and days we can work without a break (a lot more than
you would think). What we learned was that we were not doing enough for our
community.

While we marched for George Floyd, we kept cranking out our
handmade goods, made paper late into the evenings, raised two high school
students in a pandemic, built a backyard shelter for safe Covid gatherings,
and knew we had to contribute more.

So we read So You
Want To Talk About Race? and other resources to understand what, as
privileged white middle class folks, we have not had to pay any attention
to: more than simply nodding in agreement with and shaking our heads at the
difficulties faced by people of color. It was very easy to be grateful that those struggles were not our struggles and know that we were not contributing to racism. Life is tough enough without adding someone else's worries to our day. We never hurt anyone, so we are not guilty, right? Wrong.

The murder of George Floyd at the hands of our police
was impossible to turn away from. It demanded action. We will never be able to do enough. What we will do, continues to evolve.

Since last summer we have included a token of support for the Black Lives Matter movement with every order that we ship out. Each invoice, receipt and packing slip contains a silver dollar sized seed paper heart with a
printed message that shows our support for BLM. ..... continue reading at HTTPS://www.custompaper.com/blog

This year.

2020 needed a spot of love. We have been more fortunate than many this year. We wanted to share that good fortune.

We knew our city could use a bright spot so we asked Henry to shine his light on us.

Thank you Henry!!
