Walking Island

I design around the waistline... After being told by multiple women (postmenopausal), that the waistline vanishes once you are no longer able to bare children... I have noticed this to be true. Even women in the best shape tend to loose her curvature and become a bit more level.
The hills and canyons that make up each woman creates a unique piece of land, an alluring island, a place of enchantment. It's important to let people see your gradient hills, because one day your arched and contoured sphere might become a shapeless plateau.  Love your island, it's the home for your soul-

Trees are chic antiques

The wise old tree knows a thing or two:
-- Stand tall and proud
-- Sink your roots into the earth
-- Be content with your natural beauty
-- Go out on a limb
-- Drink plenty of water
-- Remember your roots
-- Enjoy the view of life

Picnic Feast


At Sticks and Stripes, we are lively in nature- A tree is planted with each purchase... Help us keep the leaves on the trees- so that they can continue to help us breathe in peace.  Picnics without trees... where would we cross our feet to eat? Without the shaded trees there would be no feast, we would surely blaze up in the heat-
