Thanks for welcoming AmaniDC in 2009! (Now we’re going to take a break.)

Thanks to the many friends, customers, and neighbors who have welcomed Amani to the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood this year!  We’ve had a great year sharing Amani’s beautiful products and stories of peace with our visitors.  We wish you a happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

The AmaniDC shop and offices will be closed from Wednesday, December 23rd through Monday, January 4th.

We’ll see you in the new year!

The snow keeps coming, but AmaniDC is open!

Yes, the snowdrifts are threatening multiple feet.  Yes, it’s hard to tell the difference between the sidewalk and the street.  And yes, it just keeps coming.   

But AmaniDC is open today*! 

If you’re in the neighborhood, come on over.  We’ll help you finish up that holiday shopping with the help of this lovely mood-setting snowstorm. 

And if you can’t make it today, you can still catch our special extended hours Monday and Tuesday from 10:00 – 7:00.

*If it gets too bad, we may close up early.  So give a ring before trekking over (202.536.5303).

Last minute holiday shopping? We’ve got extended hours for that.

Happy Birthday, AmaniDC!

One year ago today, we signed the lease for AmaniDC’s home.  It’s been a great year, and we’re grateful for all the new friends we’ve made.  Thank you to the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood for welcoming us so warmly!

AmaniDC got a makeover for her birthday this year, thanks to our friends at the Latino Economic Development Corporation who helped us with a merchandising project.  Come on over to check out the new look of the shop, and take a peek at some of our new holiday products.

And don’t forget to spread the word on FREE SHIPPING throughout the United States for purchases in our online shop until December 15th.
