Through the Looking Glass, creativity had no rules. 🎩🫖✨

What began as a table full of hats, ribbons, florals, and found treasures quickly transformed into bold expressions of personality, imagination, and sustainable design. From whimsical fascinators to statement-making tea hats, every creation told its own story.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Through the Looking Glass: Mad Hatter Hat Decorating Experience and embraced the joy of creating, connecting, and reimagining fashion through an artistic lens.

Here’s to more afternoons where creativity is celebrated, sustainability is stylish, and every masterpiece is as unique as the person who made it.

Until next time… don’t be afraid to wear the art. ♠️🌹🎩

What a beautiful day in Historic Anacostia. 🌸✨

Thank you to everyone who came out and made Springtime such a memorable celebration of community, creativity, culture, and connection. From families and neighbors to local businesses, artists, vendors, and visitors from across the city — your energy brought Marion Barry Ave & MLK Jr. Ave SE to life all day long.

We loved seeing everyone enjoy:
🕯️ Candle Making 101
♟️ Chess in the Park
🍹 “Drink This, Eat That” Lounge
🫖 Tea Time in Anacostia
🎩 Through the Looking Glass Hat Decorating

From the laughter and music to the conversations, creativity, and community spirit, yesterday was truly special. Thank you for spending your day with us and continuing to support Historic Anacostia and the amazing people who make this neighborhood shine.

Until next time… 🌷☀️

Marketplace of the Future was such a great way to close out DC Climate Week🌎♻️

Sustainability has been something that’s been important to my lifestyle AND my career. What’s happening on the earth, in our environments, affecting our climates, resources, and materials impacts more than we realize or more importantly more than we like to acknowledge

Finding new ways to incorporate sustainable practices, habits, and materials in the way that I create is something I’m adamant about and I love opportunities to connect with individuals and businesses actively doing the same!

The future of fashion is sustainable. Sustainability IS Practicality.
What are some sustainable practices you’ve been conscious about implementing into your business or daily lifestyle recently?
