Three of us, a garage's worth of ideas, and a store we're still figuring out as we go. Come on in — mind the step, it's been like that since we moved in.

The Clubs
Every once in a while we make something that doesn't fit anywhere else, so we started a club for it. That's really the whole origin story of every club below.
Conservation Club
Started when the kids wouldn't stop asking about the trees out back. Homestead goods, kitchen stuff, a couple hats — and a real cut of the money going to actual conservation work every year. Not a sticker on the box. An actual cut.
Karma Club
For the odd stuff. The 'why do you have this' items. No real theme runs through it — that's kind of the theme.
Beat Society
Sayings, jokes, the shirt you bought because it made you laugh at the counter and you forgot to take it off before checkout.
Prosper Publishing
Our kids draw the characters. We figure out how to sell them. So far, so good.
The Fine Print, Sort Of
How We Give Back
Alright, so — every year we take a real chunk of what Prosper makes and give it to good causes. Not a "round up your total by a nickel" chunk. An actual chunk. On purpose. Good year or bad year, that part doesn't change.
First one we picked was Conservation Club — trees, birds, the whole outdoors deal. Made sense. You can't put a bird on a shirt and then not do a single thing for the bird. That's just bad manners.
We're already scouting the next ones. Haven't landed anywhere yet, but hey — we didn't have a plan for the store either, and look at us now.
Thanks for stoppin' by. Go on, take a look around — just don't touch the register.

Notes from the Counter
Also, a Note
We've been tinkering on something separate from the store — Prosper Labs, our little incubator for ideas that don't fit in an aisle. First one out the door is called Loop, an app helping people find nonprofits worth caring about. Different thing entirely, same three of us behind it.
