New Year's Wishes

Well, just coming off a very nice holiday season, let's begin by saying we're thankful. Many made a point of shopping local & were pleased at the selection and caliber of the mostly Iowa made items we carry. We are thankful for our "makers", the real elves in their spare-room workshops doing what they love and consistently providing us with stock we are proud to represent.

Looking ahead, we'll do our best to promote our consignors and to be on the look out for the best our area has to offer and to measure up to those standards ourselves as we create our own lines.

We have been at the "new" location in the East Village of Des Moines since March 2010, and we have found that the foot traffic and community support are pretty phenomenal. The goal for this year is to be prepared and anticipating success as the many events in the area provide the crowd - sometimes all we have to do is open the door and be the best we can be.

We believe in our community - and your community for that matter. Live in it, shop in it and the reward is self evident. You are home and we love you.
