Shop the Fall Harvest Collection Before It's Gone!🍂 0

We're sorry, we hate to already be on the Christmas train too!

But since we're a company with handmade made-to-order products, we always have to be thinking ahead.  To assure your cherished art arrives in time to use it for the correct season, we have to ask you to purchase early.  We hate to say it but autumn is on it's way out the door at Sticks and winter and Christmas is here for the foreseeable future. ❄️🎄

So we're just here with a friendly reminder to shop this beautiful warm collection of Sticks Handmade goods before their gone until next year!  It will be replaced later this week so get the fall goods while you can.  Here are just a few of our favorite pieces..😍

Coming in place of this collection you may ask..?  Sticks Handmade winter and Christmas sculptures that are already made and ready to ship in time to decorate for the holidays OR gift!!🎅 🎁  Stay tuned SOON!

🍻Brand NEW - Clearly Sincerely, Sticks Glassware is Now Available!!🍻 0

Getting our Sincerely, Sticks line onto glass has been a goal of ours since day one!

And here we finally are!  Welcome glassware to our ever-evolving catalog of offerings from Sticks!  Made in Des Moines, Iowa, just like the rest of Sticks Handmade and Sincerely, Sticks, we're proud to now offer drinking glasses!!

Research and development was a fun task, figuring out what designs would let through the right amount of light on a shelf and would look great against your favorite beverages.  We've picked a couple that you already know and love (Sincerely, Sticks pillows anyone?) and came up with one new one!

We've already begun thinking on future designs, but we'd LOVE to hear what our friends have to say - what kind of imagery or theme should we put on future glasses??!  Sound off in the comments or shoot us an email at onlinesales@sticks.com, we'd love to hear from you!

The low down:

• Each holds 15 oz.
• Microwave and dishwasher safe
• Four designs, available as a set of one design or mixed set with one of each
• Some retailers are going to carry them!!  Give your favorite retailer a call to see if they are carrying them or convince them to if they aren't!

Stay tuned, we're hoping to do even MORE work on glass in 2019!  Cheers to 26 years of Sticks!🍻

Place Your Sticks Handmade Orders Due for Christmas SOON! 0

It may be the heart of fall right now, I mean hello - Halloween is in two days!!  But here at Sticks Studio we're already looking ahead to Christmas and beyond.

Our studio artists are BUSY creating awesome new handmade art for the orders you've placed already and for our retailers needing stock in time for the craziness to ensue that is holiday shopping.  Our production schedule is bursting at the seams so we're already working overtime and it's only October!!

So PLEASE heed our warning:  We're currently stretching our guaranteed six week delivery time-frame for Sticks Handmade orders to the max. Items being ordered now (end of October, beginning of November) are going to be delivered mid-December. 

We've always been able to guarantee that all Cyber Monday purchases will be delivered on or before Christmas and this is the first year in MANY that we're worried about fulfilling that promise.  I can tell you now a bed or dining set ordered on Cyber Monday or later CANNOT be received by Christmas, but we shouldn't have any issue with smaller items.  We'll have to see how it pans out as time gets closer - this is simply the nature of our handmade work.  We aren't machines. :) 

If you're worried about receiving something in time for Christmas, please place your order sooner rather than later!  We want to get you the Handmade in America art and furniture of your dreams to gift to your loved ones (or yourself, no shame)!!

And we highly recommend keeping tabs on the banner located at the top of every page on our website for more precise timing expectations as Christmas gets closer - we'll keep the most up to date details there!!

Until next time!

-Your Friends at Sticks

NEW Contemporary Rectangular Mirror by Sticks Handmade 0

Did you catch the Sticks Handmade new arrivals last week?  Did you notice the new style of mirror we released in that batch of new products??!

We're so excited to offer this new mirror structure with clean lines and twists on traditional Sticks artwork!  I personally want one to hang in my entryway above my plain, stained wood sofa table.  It would bring in a nice pop of color in a style that's a little whimsical but not so much that it still doesn't feel more modern!

Another great perk of this structure, is like some of our oval mirror and picture frame designs, it can be hung vertically OR horizontally.  Currently none of the designs have wording on them or imagery that "anchors" it, dictating it has to be hung a certain way.  So all three designs work both ways!!

So far we only have three designs to offer but we have more in production already so the variety will continue to grow!  Check out the designs we've created thus far just below:

We hope you love this new mirror structures as much as we do!  We can't wait to see how you style it in your homes and how you custom order them to create fresh designs!
