<p>It's been a loooooooong time since I last blogged, but this is definitely worth a post.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1">Meet Jonathan and Amber Perrodin of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PerrodinSupplyCo">Perrodin Supply Co.</a></p>
<p class="p1">Jonathan is the sole carpenter behind PSCo, and February 22nd, Jonathan amputated his right index finger while working in their studio. In a moment, their lives changed. Now they are trying to figure out how to move forward with their business, but the damage to Jonathan's finger has resulted in loss of time, as well as huge medical bills.</p>
<p class="p2">So what do artists do in this situation? Organize a pop-up shop of course! In a big show of support for the Perrodins, artists across the country are coming together for the <a href="http://www.fourfingerfundraiser.bigcartel.com/">Four Finger Fundraiser</a> pop-up shop beginning Monday, March 11, and ALL proceeds of everything sold go toward helping the Perrodins with their medical bills.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p2">Urban Bird &amp; Co. has about five different items up for sale in the pop-up, but there are some AMAZING other artists involved as well and I'm positive you'll find something totally rad. If you'd like to simply Donate money, that's awesome too, donate directly to the Perrodin's using the "donate" button located on our sidebar of the <a href="http://fourfingerfundraiser.blogspot.com/">official FFF blog</a>.</p>

It usually involves adding to our backyard, planting our vegetable garden, and adding some flowers or bushes. We tend to focus on our backyard because it's where we spend the most time and we're almost never in the front yard except on our way out. However, with the exception of a few heroic tulips popping out of the rocks each year, we started noticing a general "blah-ness" about our house and decided we needed to do make some serious changes. So after a couple weekends of landscape planning we finally got to work:</p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 500px;" src="http://www.urbanbirdandco.com/storage/IMG_3302.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1332767355338" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span>See how BLAH it all is? Gray house, gray rock, unstained deck (the guy who built the deck was just trying to sell the house, and didn't take the time to stain).&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.urbanbirdandco.com/storage/IMG_3303.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1332767312066" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span>Mike staining the lattice he put up after digging out the rocks. More lattice is going up, and a retaining wall is going in front of it for little evergreen arborvitae.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.urbanbirdandco.com/storage/IMG_3306.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1332767511007" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The intrepid little tulips growing out of the rock. These will be either worked around or transplanted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Lots more work to be done! We will keep posting updates as we finish!&nbsp;</p>
