This card hit such a nerve that we decided to name the project "beauty&****"

As friends to someone experiencing loss, major illness, a breakup, or another trauma, we cannot take away the shit, as much as we would like to. What we can do is offer a moment of beauty -- the sweet connection of writing a letter, sending a gorgeous handmade card, a moment of generosity or a walk in the sunshine. We can offer acknowledgement of how hard it is to hold both -- at the same time -- the beauty and the shit.

Cards are available in brown kraft paper or on white paper, both 100% recycled. Cards are available with or without "Wishing you moments of beauty amidst the shit." Please specify if you have a preference in order notes.

All are printed in black ink, by hand, using antique metal type and a Challenge letterpress printer.

All cards are 5.5x4.25 and come in an offwhite or brown envelope (contrasts with card).

A portion of proceeds from every card go to The Dinner Party, a nonprofit that organizes dinners for young people who have experienced loss to talk about, well, acknowledging the beauty & shit of life after loss.
