Fracking letterpress cards by Smock
Happy Friday! I’m neck-deep in last-minute birthday party decoration-making (read: mess-making) and dessert-making (read: mess-making and dessert-tasting) for my oldest daughter who turned four this past Wednesday. We’re celebrating her birthday tomorrow and the theme for her party is …
… stay tuned next week for the reveal!
In the interim, head over to one of my favorite eco-friendly letterpress shops Smock and do some shopping for a good cause. Now through Sunday, Smock is offering an additional 25% off of sale items when you purchase a box of cards from their line of Change the World cards. There are two styles of cards in the Change the World set and 100% of the profits from the sales go directly to these crucial environmental causes:
1. The fracking cards (pictured above) are also packaged with a temporary tattoo and “helps Earthworks’ Oil & Gas Accountability Project change the gas and oil industry in order to protect the environment and our drinking water”.
2. The sunflower letterpress cards (pictured below) include a bee-friendly organic sunflower seeds and helps “the Pesticide Action Network North America to address Colony Collapse Disorder and helps save the honey bees“.

Other highlights from around the internets:
- Place: Guatemala looks breathtaking through the eyes of Mackenzie Jean.
- Person: Beautiful artwork by Sarah Burwash via That’s Happy.
- Thing: All sorts of in love with the butterfly chandelier/mobile in this “petite story” by Joy Cho.
It’s always nice to hear about creative companies that give back to Mother Earth and its natural inhabitants.
