Join us every Monday from 8:30-9:30AM for Morning Pages, a focused, weekly meetup for writers to get words on the page.

If you’re looking to add accountability, routine, and momentum to your writing game, we’ve got the spot for you. No networking, chit-chat, or workshopping here—just writers quietly doing what they do.

No RSVP required.

Many thanks to Butler MFA for providing coffee, morning treats, and support.

A new, early autumn-themed batch of Anastasia Inciardi prints has landed! She’s cozy and back to school-inspired, with a prosciutto leg thrown in for good measure.

Bonus! We’ve got a surprise print mixed in this batch. Fits the theme to a T.

Broad Ripple businesses are teaming up to support our neighbors affected by the flooding. Some are donating a portion of sales, some contributing toward a giveaway (details coming soon), and some as a point of drop off for necessities.

Drop off locations for donated goods:
Create Art Studio Guggman Haus Brewing Co. kOMpose Yoga | Indianapolis Yoga Studio 𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑰𝑪𝑬 𝑪𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴 Lille Bønne Community Living Room Speakeasy Soccer Tomorrow Bookstore

Each business is donating to the flood relief organization of their choice, supporting both urgent needs and long term recovery in our community.

Proud to be part of a community that shows up when it matters. Also huge thank you to Parker Gibbs McCullough for donating his time and talent to create this graphic for us.

We are so grateful to be in an area of Midtown largely untouched by this weekend’s disastrous flooding, and we are thinking of those friends, neighbors, and fellow small businesses who are not as fortunate.

We’ve all seen the videos. We’ve all heard the viral quote about how climate change will be seen as a series of disasters through our phones until we’re the ones filming it. What’s also being filmed are hundreds of folks filling sandbags in Rocky Ripple and small businesses helping other businesses flush the water out of Broad Ripple village.

Spend this week showing your support for local businesses, and if you’d like to donate supplies, our neighbors, The Local Radish are accepting them. Several area businesses, including us, are working to coordinate a Broad Ripple flood relief effort. Stay tuned for more information on how to help ✌️
