Talking Leaf

The term "Talking leaf" was how some natives describe newspapers. Since paper was made from plants, and was as thin as a leaf, and had words in it, they called them talking leaves.

We are so excited to be back for San Fransisco and seeing many of our family and friends at BAAITS! Thank you for sharing this experience with us. As we move forward into the end of winter and beginning of spring, we wanted to share with you some amazing things that are coming your way in the next few months.
