From Local Roots to a Wider Community, Thank You
|
As we step into 2026, we want to begin with a heartfelt thank you. Your support through purchases, kind messages, and especially your thoughtful reviews has been foundational to our growth. Over the past four years, we have focused deeply on our local roots by showing up at markets and fairs, building relationships face to face, and growing alongside our community. Along the way, many of you asked where else our pieces could be found and how friends and family outside the area could shop with us.
|
In 2025, our online store became an essential extension of that community. We invested more time and care into making it a place where you can browse and shop at your own pace, wherever you are. Your reviews have played an outsized role in this growth. For a small business like ours, they are invaluable. They help us understand how to serve you better and serve as a powerful vote of confidence that helps new customers discover our work. Each review is deeply appreciated and never taken for granted.

A second major milestone in 2025 was our growth into wholesale. We are now a small batch supplier to boutique stores across Michigan and around the country. It has been incredibly rewarding to see our work recognized by like minded shop owners who value craftsmanship, quality, and thoughtful design. The photos we are sharing feature two recent wholesale orders of carefully crafted leather luggage tags and bracelets shipped to Texas and Arizona, along with kind words we received from one of our Arizona partners. Moments like these remind us why we do this work.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We are excited to keep building together in the year ahead.
