We get inspired daily by the things we love - our family, the outdoors, our customers, and our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
Family
We come from a long line of hard-working people who always strive to put the most into whatever they do to make the best for their family. Through this mindset, we have been inspired to do the same. From our strong family ties, we infuse a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and love in each handcrafted piece.
Nature
The beauty of wood itself, with its unique grain patterns, textures, and colors, is a significant source of inspiration. We are also motivated by environmental concerns and sustainability. We have grown up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, have a connection with nature, and appreciate its wonders. This connection drives us to create pieces that reflect the natural beauty we see around us.
Customers
Interacting with our customers and hearing their stories is a profound source of inspiration. We are often deeply moved by the stories and sentiments shared by customers after purchasing a jewelry chest as a wedding gift for a loved one or a unique engraved keepsake box to reflect a person's personality. Bringing someone's vision to life is always a motivating force.
Commitment to High-Quality Craftsmanship
Our creations are crafted with care and sentimentality, meant to be treasured and passed down through generations. We find inspiration in knowing that our work brings comfort, honor, beauty, and functionality to people's lives.
Ultimately, the inspiration to create handmade, never stained wooden jewelry/keepsake boxes is a multifaceted blend of personal, emotional, artistic, and practical motivations. It's a reflection of our values, aspirations, and the desire to make meaningful contributions to the lives of our customers and our own sense of purpose and fulfillment.
