feeling is mutual-- the blog!

I’ve always wanted to have a place where I could showcase affordable, limited-edition designs by my favorite independent artists; I feel strongly about supporting the fantastic community of indie designers making their own goods by hand.

Design*sponge has a shop!? Luckily for my bank account, our insurance went up $100 this month thus I'm currently shocked into spendthrift mode (temporary affliction I hope).

Reasons why the design*sponge shop is a wonderful thing:
1. 10% of the site 's advertising revenue will be gifted to a rotating charity
2. All pieces are exclusive to the design*sponge shop
3. Nothing will ever be priced at more than $100.
4. Global shipping
5. The independent artists take home 100% of the profit!
6. New products every month!

Wow!

Now if you excuse me, I have an appointment with my insurance agent (seriously...100 bucks!?).
