Happy Thanksgiving
from
Urban Alchemist!!!


We just wanted to take a moment and say "Thank You" to all our wonderful customers!  We know you can spend your money anywhere and we're glad you continue to make the conscious decision to purchase from Urban Alchemist.  

When you spend your money locally you are supporting your local community, buying green and helping to sustain the art community in your neighborhood.  And for that we give "Thanks!"

And as a Reminder, this Saturday is Small Business Saturday.  So be sure to go out and support all the local businesses you love, from the coffee shop to the restaurant and of course, Urban Alchemist!

Love Sugar Design is made up of husband and wife team Nicole and Jimmy Chung.  This talented couple lives in Miami and recently sent us an array of adorable typographic and illustrated prints in time for the holidays.  Some of the details are subtle and may not show as well in the images, so come in in person to check them out.   These are all on 8.5x11 sheets and will fit into a standard frame.   If you want to tell someone how special they are to you, one of these prints is a great way to do it...  all Love Sugar Prints are $24.
