Butter + Lye’s skincare products are some of the best sellers in our store—and for good reason! Monique is a biochemist who took her knowledge of chemistry and fused it with her desire to make all-natural products that promote healthy skin.

Rarely are we so moved by a company’s mission, and commitment to that mission, as we were by Finley’s. They’re nothing short of a model company, and their story is one of the best we’ve ever heard.

Get a load of this art-forward jigsaw puzzle company: WerkShoppe is an Art & Design community that collaborates with artists—both emerging and established—to bring beautiful art to your living spaces. And who doesn’t love a puzzle? It’s art you can touch!

Of themselves, Ann Marie and Wayne say, “We help people connect with art and with each other. We’re definitely picky about the art we love but we’re not snobby about where to find it. Art brings us so much happiness and we want you to feel that way too.”
