    Happy New Year with Gratitude

    Yesterday was filled with the bustle of doing year-end inventory and cleaning out the workshop “drawers,” so to speak. Having a clean, organized workshop always feel so good! We even finished up early—much to the delight of my four-year old who was tearing it up in the showroom. This gave me some quiet time today […]

  6. More Than Meets the Eye: Tim's Handmade Transformers Shoes

    More Than Meets the Eye: Tim's Handmade Transformers Shoes

    Founder Elf Tim with grandson Sebi Soft Star founder Tim has a lot of fun when he makes new shoes for himself. As we’ve shown you before, starting your own handcrafted shoe company gives one a lot of creative liberty (have you seen his recent Oregon State football shoes?). It’s also a lot of fun […]
