Orders typically ship in two business days
Not fast enough? We're happy to offer expedited shipping options.
Choose your product, then choose Next Day or Second Day delivery. These include a "Pronto!" surcharge that rushes your order to the head of the queue so that your order ships out the same day if the order is received by noon MST on a regular business day, Monday through Friday. (Ships next business day if received after noon. Sorry, but Saturday delivery is not currently available.)
We love it when visitors tour our place and shake their heads. “Get with the times, will you? No one is making home accessories in the US anymore.” Common wisdom says you can start a company out of your garage, but the minute you’re doing more than touring craft fairs in your hippie van, you’ve got to move production overseas where the labor force will work for pennies.
We don’t go for that at all.
Yes we know we could make it cheaper over there. Yes, we know everyone else is doing it. But it’s a point of pride for us. We’re persuaded that we can consistently provide you a better-designed, better-crafted product than any overseas manufacturer. Not only that, but we can offer more consistent quality and stronger support by designing here, crafting here and shipping from (did we mention this?) right here!
And call us crazy, but we think that you might even feel just a little bit better knowing that in these tough economic times, you’ve helped provide secure, rewarding jobs for one small town in rural America.
That’s why we continue to do everything we do from right here in Trinidad, Colorado, USA.
We finish everything we make using water-based paints. Always have. Most companies use oils and other stinky solvents because, frankly, they’re easier to work with. Why do we do it? For us, it’s about the people -- our team, more specifically. They spend their days up to their elbows in the stuff. We want to feel that we’re doing all we can to ensure their hard work for year after year leaves them with no adverse health effects. As a happy side effect, the planet fares better as well.
We also use 100% recycled wood for all our signs and frames. We don’t want to spoil your lunch, but look at the solid wood frames next time you’re in a department store or big box. Did you know that China’s biggest supplier of lumber is Russia, where 50% of the wood is harvested illegally, predominately by the mafia? In Indonesia, another big home accessory supplier, 75% of lumber is illegally cut, often from their national parks? Illegal cutting hurts indigenous peoples, spawns mudslides, and fosters government corruption. It’s an ugly scene. We love the fact that no trees were cut at all in the creation of our product.
We’re not yet the company we want to be. But we’re devoted to continually improving our operations, sources, and systems in the quest for better, friendlier solutions for nurturing both planet and people.
