Our summer collection is live!
Twenty new works of art—from us to you.
"In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible."
―Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

If these stories encourage you, we’d be so grateful if you would consider sharing our summer collection with a friend. In a world of ever-changing algorithms, plain ole word-of-mouth continues to be our most powerful marketing tool. ❤️
This collection was not, however, free to make. ❤️ Do you know we pay our writers (and photographers!) for every piece we publish on Coffee + Crumbs? We do. Thank you in advance for supporting women and the arts, and for making it possible for us to keep our creative work in a beautiful, ad-free environment.
Looking forward to this collection!
Is there any way to read the collection on a Kindle paper white?! It was be such a gift to NOT be on a "screen". If yes, can you send detailed instructions for this not so tech savvy mama?!
