Art & Story Club — July 2026 Issue | "Indivisible...Without The Liberty And Justice"

Some requests are simple. Walk to the store by yourself, blow your allowance on penny candy, walk home. Unless, of course, you are nine years old and your parents have other ideas.

The July 2026 Issue of the Jan Dale Art & Story Club is a handcrafted mailing delivered straight to your door — no screens, no scrolling, just a beautifully printed letter and an original art print to hold in your hands.

This issue includes:

• A side-splitting true story: "Indivisible...Without The Liberty And Justice" — A hilarious childhood account of a nine-year-old's determined quest for independence, an old country store with wood plank floors and penny candy, and the masterful parental ping-pong that kept her from getting there in time
• An art print based on original artwork: "Dorothy's Store" — An oil painting of that beloved corner store, Coca-Cola signs and all, warm with the memory of kind people and fun times
• A bookmark featuring the same store image, with a saying  about happy places
• Penny candy stickers based on original artwork: Brach's chewy coconut sundae, Tootsie Roll, paper candy dots, Bazooka bubblegum, and a caramelly Sugar Daddy sucker

Written and illustrated by Jan Dale, rooted in the rhythms of rural life and the memories that bring us laughter
