Our little story began 10 years ago when Amy began making mittens for friends, family, and teachers outside of St Paul, MN. With a husband, two small children, and a substitute teaching career, she began to make 20 at a time. Her talented uncle, Jeff Renner, put some in a basket at some of his Art Shows in MN and watched them sell.
In the fall of 2005, Amy and her family moved to Omaha, NE. To which Amy gave a pair of these wonderful mittens as a gift to her friend she had known since college. What she didn't know that this friend, Cynthia, could also sew.
So, it was after a few glasses of wine and many hours of laughs (and many long o's and aye's later) these two came up with the idea to partner together and sell these warm and practical mittens. Amy and Cynthia have worked hard creating and reinventing patterns and products to continually evolve with the styles and fashions of today.
Who are our customers? Well, we hope you will be! We've found our WBW following are people who care about quality, durability, and like their gifts or "self gifts" to be individual and special! Each of our products have been made by hand. In fact, we could probably tell you where the sweater was purchased, the temperature of the water washed in, and the brand of the sweater it was made from. We are passionate about what we do and hope you fall in love with our product as much as we have enjoyed making them!
Nothing has been more enjoyable than watching this little adventure grow. We hope you enjoy our products as much as we've enjoyed the journey here. With two rural girls originally from Minnesota and South Dakota, you'll know that each of our products have been made especially for ewe!
Our Mission: 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
