Desk Calendar Sales for Haiti

As we have mentioned before, we became extremely attached to the people and country of Haiti when we worked there in September for a few weeks for Aid to Artisans. The terrible earthquake has left me heartbroken, and JHill Design wants to do as much as we can for for Haiti. Until they are sold out all proceeds from the sale of our 2010 Places I Have Never Been desk calendar ($15) will be donated to Partners in Health. PIH is a fantastic organization that has been working in Haiti for over 20 years, which means they are on the ground and the money will get to the Haitian people quickly. PIH was started by Paul Farmer, whom the book "Mountains beyond Mountains" by Tracy Kidder is about. A fantastic read that will enlighten and endear you to Haiti.

Hello Kiev + Print Sale

Well I have returned a great week in Oregon, even though it rained the whole time. Now back to business as they say. Since Easter is approaching I thought I'd post our Kiev print and let you know that through the weekend all our medium prints are 20% off. Woo Hoo! More to come!

Fortune Teller

So we might totally be psychic cause in our 2008 calendar, November was Chicago (Hello, President Obama) and in our 2009 calendar, February was Pittsburgh (Hello, Steelers - Superbowl champions). Just remember that these calendars are done a year ahead of time (crazy - i know). I just might start placing bets in Vegas.

Congrats Pittsburgh!

So the Steelers won! Woo Hoo! We were really excited for our dear friend JJ, he's a die hard Steelers fan. In fact he was an inspiration to do the print in the first place. To celebrate our Pittsburgh print, all 3 sizes, will be 20% until Wednesday. Check it out here.

New '09 Places I Have Never Been

Our new Places I Have Never Been wall and desk calendars are now available on our site. Check them out here.

Rome, Italy

To commemorate the last few days of summer (how depressing) we've released our Rome Print from our Places I Have Never Been line, now available on our website. We had more rain than summer here in Boston, so maybe this will keep me thinking of sunshine and gelato until next year. Check it out here.

Howdy : Austin, Texas

Our new Austin Print and Card were inspired by the live music scene of Austin and those artful cowboy boots we heard about. All the research for the Austin pattern reaaaaaaaaaly made us jones for a trip down south... maybe next year. Available at JHillDesign.com
