This year The Foundry turns NINE!

In honor of what is certainly/hopefully the wildest year yet in the almost-decade history of our little corner of the universe, we're doing a little look back at how we made it through, made it work, celebrated beauty, stayed apart, came together, kept each other safe, and worked hard to keep celebrating all the best things. There are big things in store for our *next* year (and a little sneak peek of the biggest thing on the horizon at the end of this post) and, as always, we are filled with gratitude for you all weathering this time with us and making it possible for us to keep on keeping on. Thank you.

So many exciting things in the year to come and infinite gratitude for being along with us on this wild and wonderful journey, for this year and all years.
