April 2nd: 7th Anniversary Celebration!

"Seven years, no itch: the betsy & iya story." Coming soon to a NW boutique near you! Bad news: we aren't releasing a movie. Great news: we are celebrating turning SEVEN years old with a huge party on April 2nd! Bring in the giant gold balloons, we're going to whoop it up with the endless energy of an actual 7-year-old (the bubbly will help with this part). RSVP and invite your friends on our Facebook event!

To celebrate 7 years, we commissioned 7 original artworks by 7 female artists, and asked each lady to depict a pivital moment throughout our history in her own unique style. We’ll unveil these pieces at the party where they’ll be for sale, with 50% of the proceeds going to Friends of the Children. That’s right, Friends of the Children, a Portland nonprofit who seeks to ”break the cycle of poverty through the power of relationships,” will benefit from you having a grand ol’ time at our party. As if you needed more reason to shop! Support them in 1 of 3 different ways during our party:

• Buy art: 50% of the sale of each original artwork will go to Friends
• Shop: 10% of ALL sales from 6-9pm will go to Friends
• Donate: we’ll have a donation jar for cash and loose change. No purchase necessary & every. dollar. counts.

Artists: Emilee Booher Kira Lynn Cain Vivian Chen Alyson Provax Heather Ryerson Sarah Jean Simmons Brooke Weeber For a fun trip down Memory Lane pre-party:

• Check out this super adorable 1st anniversary post, "It's my Anniversary."
• Get up and do 7 quick jumping jacks because it's good to move and also because WE ARE 7!!!!

More soon! Cheers, Anna ***Song of the Moment: More than a Woman by The Bee Gees***
