Two Trick Pony
Made-in-good-ole' America, by-hand screen-printed cards.

The Pony Tale:  Laurie Johnston and Carrie Holmes met while working for the same paper retailer in Boston, Massachusetts. They bonded over a shared love of vintage wallpaper, eco-friendly design and half-priced baked goods. One night over Chinese food, they confessed to each other their dreams of owning a business. And since two tricks are better than one, they decided to join creative crafting forces and become Two Trick Pony in the summer of 2006.
The Ponies embarked on a mission to change the face of recycled, handmade stationery, literally! Our graphic, playful and retro-inspired cards and invitations broke the mold of the standard recycled aesthetic of muted colors and petal flecked paper. We recognized the growing interest in environmentally friendly and handmade products and were excited to be a part of the movement to combine great modern design, quality craftsmanship and environmentally responsible business practices.
That was just the beginning though. From the start, our purpose was to create a company with a light hoof print that also contributes to our community. Owning a small business meant that we could make decisions that reflected our values. We began donating a percentage of sales to causes we believe in, including a local greyhound rescue, a farmed animal sanctuary and an organization fighting for marriage equality.
We believe that businesses have the ability to promote socially responsible behavior not only through the causes they support but also through the products and services they offer. Our values of compassion and equality are reflected in our products and we are inspired to spread messages of kindness, caring and joy through our work!"
