In honor of International Woman’s Day tomorrow, we wanted to highlight our ‘Be Kind to Other’s’ print, a piece that exemplifies the age-old teaching passed down from our mothers and grandmothers. Not only does this adorable print reminder us to be kind to each other, it also reminds us to be kind to Mother Nature, as it was originally created from old scrap paper and is printed with soy ink on recycled paper and packed in eco-friendly packaging.
