Sticks, Stones & Stitches

We have always filled our home with beautiful handmade items that can be passed down among generations, and we wanted to create a shop that shared our ethic of appreciating handmade items using locally-sourced supplies that can be passed through families as heirlooms.

Ovie studied woodworking at the world-famous Berea College, where he learned woodworking, carpentry, and wood-carving alongside some of Appalachia's greatest craftsmen. He's been making custom pieces for more than 40 years, and has recently expanded his skill set into lapidary work and jewelry-making.

Josie is a self-taught artist, with more than 40 years of experience in textile work. Her expertise in selecting yarns that show off and meld with a textile patterns is particularly adept, and she has worked in needlepoint, knitting, crochet, crewel and basket-making.

We love and collect items that can be considered heirloom quality, and that's what we hope to provide for you as you shop our Etsy site. Please feel free to drop us a line with any questions about products, suggestions or custom orders. We take orders in person, through our facebook page (paid via Paypal) or our Etsy shop.
