Dear Sticks Friends and Fans,

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all of your support, kind wishes, simple & sweet notes, phone calls, and business this year. There were moments earlier this year when we didn’t know what would happen to American Craft businesses in a Covid world. We were scared for our staff and our stocking retailers, for our business, and our family & friends’ health and wellbeing. We held onto the idea that making beautiful and inspirational art always makes the world a bit brighter and we can only hope that on dark days, we made someone smile. In the day of Amazon instant-gratification, low-cost & low-quality goods, and missing the social capital of chatting with your local store owner over an in-person transaction, we are so appreciative that you have felt a connection to us through Sticks.com, our Des Moines, Iowa brick-and-mortar gallery, or a local store in your town that graciously carries Sticks products.  

We have big plans for 2021 and hope that you continue along with us on this handmade journey. We will continue abiding by our mission of sourcing locally when available, buying American made materials and component parts, and supporting our friends, suppliers, retailers and wholesalers around this beautiful country.

With Love & Gratitude,

Rachel & Sarah
