Sticks Furniture

"Sticks was started by Sarah Grant in 1992. Since then, Sticks has received national acclaim for our distinctive line of furniture, accessories and object art. The company began by designing smaller items such as ornaments and candlesticks, and has evolved to feature larger items such as dining sets, beds and armoires. Each piece is handcrafted within Sticks’ award winning studio in Des Moines, Iowa. All pieces are finely crafted from birch, poplar and driftwood. The pieces are further designed with hand drawn imagery, etched contouring and vibrantly blended paint. Pieces can be embellished with 3-D wood components, metal, leather and fabric. Our line is constantly evolving due to the imagination of our design team and the many talented craft artisans that we employ. Every piece that we produce can be personalized to feature themes, imagery or colors that you or your customers desire."

PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE

Hi Friends,

We at Summer for Kids know that it has been a rough and stressful year on everyone. Between the economy and fires, our local community has been hit hard. We’d like to just say thank you for your continued support through these hard times and remind yourself of all the positive things in your life when the times are feeling rough.

Child abuse cases are on the rise, in part because of the stress parents are incurring in this economy. Not only is the number of cases rising, but the severity as well. Please don’t let your children be a part of this statistic!

Though their footprints may be small, their dreams are big and every day that their parents are happy, and optimistic, so are they. Remember in these stressful times that you are raising little ones that get their outlook on life from you. So try to remember the most important things in life: THEM. And when the going gets tough, reach out to your friends, family, and neighbors and get through it as a team. Your children are counting on you.
Please don’t let this sad story become their reality:

Child abuse has long been recognized as the greatest threat to a child’s healthy development. Physical,
sexual and verbal abuse, as well as neglect, can result in serious problems in social, emotional, and intellectual development, and has been linked to a wide range of problems in mental health,
substance abuse, school success, and criminal involvement. 

Please do Not abuse and do Not let others
abuse our Children!
