Present Day at Pleasant Plains Workshop
Present Day, the holiday shop at my friend Kristina’s Pleasant Plains Workshop in DC, opened last weekend. I stopped by post-brunch to check it out and the place was packed with shoppers and with fun gift options, like tote bags, prints, shirts, jewelry, locally printed magazines and more.

Or bring [...]

DC Cheer is a community arts project by [...]
