2022 Year in Review: Hitting Our Stride

2022 Year in Review: Hitting Our Stride

We have a lot to celebrate when we think back on 2022, both big and small.

Here are a few notable moments from our year.

We Went Back Out in the World (A Little)

Although the world is forever changed, we did start to get out in the world again (outdoors mostly). Here in this photo, we went to Oregon's famous Tulip Fest.


Our Cats Had a Great Year

Our two hypoallergenic Siberian shop cats, Best and Tanuki had a great year. They caught mice in the workshop, snacked and snoozed a lot, and cuddled with us some.


We Took a Principled Stand For All Crafters and Makers

We joined the #EtsyStrike and co-created a working group to build a better, cooperative alternative to Etsy:

We Gave Back

We held two fundraisers this year for important causes:


We Launched a New Product!

By popular demand, we launched a regular playing card-sized version of the Double 12 Travel Domino Playing Cards ("Mexican Train"). At first, we thought this new size would be too big, and take up too much space on the table, but we've found the exact opposite! As usual, our clever customers are right. Our innovative corner number (indices) mean the entire domino doesn't have to be visible. They can be laid out with only the corner numbers showing. And the standard playing card size is even more comfortable in the hand than the domino-sized cards.

Happy New Year!

We started this business at the tail end of the aughts, and now we're winding our way through the twenties. We can't tell you what a privilege it is to work with you, our amazing customers. It's a wonder of the internet that we can all connect from so many places around the world over our shared values and appreciation for fine craftsmanship. We can't wait to see what our 14th year in business brings!
