April Food Day
In the world of design blogging, we spend an astounding amount of time studying, discussing, reporting and commenting on beauty and beautiful places.
To me, there would be nothing more beautiful than a world where nobody goes hungry.
Meg from Pigtown Design and Chris from
Easy and Elegant Life have organized a way for each of us to do our small part to help others who are needier than ourselves. Please go here to make a donation to Feeding America and truly make a difference in someone's life and make this world a more beautiful place.
