A Quote from our Elves and Angels catalog back in 1992, which still holds true today…

“It is a commitment of our family to offer our customers, the very best products and services available anywhere. Shopping for our own family, we realize how difficult it is to find worthwhile gifts for children. We hope we have helped. Our children today are surrounded by a disposable society. Buy it today; throw it away two weeks later. I think this attitude shows children, at a very young age, that no one really cares; that things are of no value, and they’re made to be discarded.

In creating our products, we keep foremost in mind, that a product should nurture in a child a sense of beauty, and they should perceive that care went into the making of it. As a young boy, I spent many hours in my Grandfather’s cabinet shop watching him create beautiful pieces of furniture by hand, with the utmost care. In his shop there was such a wonderful feeling ! As I look back on this I feel sorrow. There are so few places today that our children can see that kind of care being taken. It is this kind of caring, that inspires others to care for what they do. With this in mind, we offer you our products and services. It is our hope that your children will pass our products on to their children, and keep alive that sense of caring that is rapidly being lost today. We hope these products represent to children, a respect for childhood, an appreciation for beauty, and the love of a job well done.”
