In remembrance of Dolly💗

Dolly had such a deep love of literature and understood just how important books, reading, and access to literacy are in bringing people together and opening doors.

In her memory, through Sunday, August 30th, Sage & Honey will be donating 10% of all profits from book sales to The Literacy Cooperative Cleveland, an organization whose work feels especially meaningful as we honor Dolly.

We hope you’ll stop in, pick up a book, and help us celebrate her life through something she loved so dearly.
