Sometimes it's all we can do to breathe. But, life (and work and choices and seasons and bummers and triumphs) goes on. SCHOOL GOES ON.
We—like so many of you in our Foundry Family too—are lovers of books. Always and forever since our very first run-in with our beloved children's librarian (hi, Miss Altshuler), we've had our noses pressed into pages, sucked, vortex-style, head-over-heels, into rich worlds, both far-flung or cozily adjacent to our own. Books feed our souls, nourish our spirits, and whet our appetites—literally and figuratively.
Staunch. Dependable. Durable. That's how Steele Canvas Basket described their ethos and their products 100 years ago. And the same is true today.
In our Foundry Family (like in all families) we weather the beautiful and wild seasons together. We are always growing up and out and onwards together, and, like in all families, that occasionally means making moves, starting new chapters, and (gulp) moving out. And, just like in all families, these moments of change are as inevitable as they are bittersweet and beautiful.
Maybe you've never given much thought to paper. From slick impersonal stacks of office reams of mysterious origin to whatever-random-back-of-a-receipt-you-grab-to-dash-off-a-note, sometimes it feels like paper simply *is*. But occasionally a piece of paper—just a single, simple, beautiful leaf!—stops us in our tracks.
