laundry times...
the other day i went to the laundry mat to dry some clothes. we line dry our clothes when we can, but a couple weeks of rainy days makes us start to smell. i don’t mind the laundry mat, i grew up going to them. i brought some work and settled it. it only takes 24 minutes to dry so it’s no biggie.
about 18 minutes into the drying process, i began to smell a horrifying burning plastic smell. i looked over and a dryer had caught on fire. the attendent went to get the other attendant and they pulled the sheets out and started stomping on them. it smelled SO bad.
earlier in the day elijah and i were thinking about bringing our laundry to get washed and folded at a local laundry mat during the winter months. turns out the woman who was washing the clothes was actually the attendant on duty. nuff said. also, after only being there about 30 minutes, i was inspired to start a ‘people of laundromats’ blog. is that mean?

In your email, write if you would like our Cute lil’ Fawn Post Earrings, or the charming Fawn Tie Tack. You don’t need to buy anything. We’re just thanking you for doing something wonderful!
Rules & Regulations
- The first 50 people will receive a limited edition Tree Necklace and either a pair of Fawn Earrings or a Fawn Tie Tack. (Whichever you want. The tie tack also works great as a lapel pin.) After the necklaces are gone we’ll give out up to 300 earring pairs/tie tacks. After 300 we’ll be out!

- Plant a real tree! Don’t just stand next to an already growing one. We can tell, and your karma will be ruined.
- No returns or exchanges with this giveaway at all. Sorry, we can’t feasibly accept them. We’re just a little company run by my wife and I.
- We’re not responsible if you hurt yourself planting a tree. So be careful with those shovels and hoes!
- These will ship by the end of MAY via First Class Mail. So NO tracking. Feel free to email us AFTER June 1st if you don’t receive your package, but before then we’ll be busy making these lil’ guys and may have to ignore your email, sorry!
- Have fun and tell your friends! The point is to reward you for being good to our earth.
