The 3/50 Project

May 26, 2009

I recently found out about the The 3/50 Project, a fantastic initiative to funnel money back in to your local economy and support local business, rather than shopping with chain retailers.

In the previously mentioned offense, I think Unique Vintage took it too far, by not only directly copying Trashy Diva’s design, but selling [...]
