It comes as no surprise that we’re all having to

It comes as no surprise that we’re all having to adapt during this unexpected + unusual time. Yet, I’ve been overwhelmed with gratitude with your willingness to adapt right alongside with us!!! So from all of us downtown, THANK YOU! Your support of small businesses right now is what will see us through!❤️ #thankfulTuesday

Curbside pick up will be happening again today fro

Many of you have asked if you can still get your D

Many of you have asked if you can still get your Driftless Style + Reclaim Candles refilled during this time. The answer is ✨YES✨ We have created an online google form for you to fill out with all your information for your candle refill *(payment + new candle orders will be done over the phone). Send us a message with your email and we will get the google form to you! Drop off your candle container(s) TODAY from 1-3pm or TOMORROW from 11-3pm during our curbside pick up hours in order to get yours in on the next order. We also have two new scents to try out: Lemon Eucalyptus and Tobacco!👏🏼

As with life, there are so many moving parts in pi

As with life, there are so many moving parts in pivoting a business. This past week has been full of taking pictures of all our inventory (thanks, @johnsons.creative👏🏼), working on creating an online shop (no small feat😜), school at home with the kids (holy exhaustion😅) and lots of communications with our artisan business partners around the world (this pandemic is far-reaching and unsettling for many reasons). The nature of this small business is very complex. We can’t just “stop” an order due to unforeseen changes/cashflow when it’s been placed up to 3 months beforehand. Nor would we ever want to do this. We have found immense joy this past week knowing that artisans around the world have still been able to work (albeit more slowly) creating products just for our shop. And for many of us, the importance of a stable job is hitting so much closer to home these days.

Friends, we will be operating through DM orders just a little bit longer 😉 Our online shopping won’t be going live by the end of this week as hoped, BUT in happier news... curbside pick up hours will be:
Friday’s 1-3p and Saturday’s 11-3p🙌🏼 Keep the inquiries rolling into the messages and if you want to set up a virtual shopping experience, let me (Kelsie) know! I’ll be posting tomorrow on how you can STILL get your candles refilled during this time✨
Be safe. Be well. And be on the lookout for ways to spread kindness💗

We’ve been working hard to figure out our next s

We’ve been working hard to figure out our next steps as we move forward during this global pandemic. And let us tell you... it hasn’t come without tears + worry. But ultimately, we trust that if we’re still willing to put in the time, effort, and whatever resources we have to bring positive change to our community and beyond, we will get through this. Already, we’ve been overwhelmed with messages of encouragement + support (THANK YOU!). The thing is, this is SO much bigger than just our small team’s livelihood. We’ve made LONG-TERM commitments with artisans + business partners in 10 countries and they depend on this work, just like we do. We will make it through this because we have to. We are here for the fight against poverty + injustices that inflict so many of the communities we partner in. We are here to continue to promote + link arms with artists who help us giveback + do good. So during this crazy time, we ask you to partner for the long haul. And if you’re here for it, we promise to be a source of light + inspiration while we journey through!
All this to say, we are going to close for the next week to focus on getting an online shop set up and then “open” back up with lots of changes (while the situation deems necessary):
1. Most of our sales will be done online- through the e-commerce portion we’re working on now and through Instagram.
2. We will be offering free curbside pickup at our back door during limited hours- most likely Friday’s and Saturday’s. Local and need a delivery? We can make it happen!
3. We will also be shipping once our online shop goes live.
4. Also, we will offer in-store personal shopping by appointments only (this can also be done virtually). More details to come, as this is ever-evolving, but we will be doing everything we can to get creative with ongoing sales AND stay safe + healthy!!! #driftlessstyle

When I opened the doors for the first time last su

When I opened the doors for the first time last summer, did I expect to face a pandemic within the first year of business? Of course not! But that’s life. We’re living through uncharted territory these days, with so many uncertainties, but it’s now- more than ever- when love, kindness, perseverance and grit matter most.
In the past 7 months, I have gained another family through the loyal friends + customers who have walked through these doors and supported my small business- my family’s livelihood- and also so many family’s around the globe when you’ve purchased our artisan partners’ handcrafted goods. Thank you.

And I ask you now, please don’t forget about supporting small businesses. These will be hard times ahead for so many of us downtown. Stay safe (and away) if sick, wash hands like your life depends on it 😉, and please know we’re doing so much on our end to keep open + clean for you.

Don’t need anything right now from your favorite small businesses? Buy a gift card to use later on, while in the meantime gives us some cash flow to get us through.

DS is built with global partnerships at its center, which has real implications for how we can conduct business in the future months. For example, remember that beautiful order I placed in Morocco a few weeks ago? It’s currently in production, but I’m watching diligently to see what is happening on the shipping/importing front. Thankfully some bans on cargo are being lifted, as last time my shipment docked in Europe before making the trek to the states. So please know your support right now means more than you know❤️ I want these doors to stay open for many years to come, along with all my lovely downtown neighbors and small businesses I get to partner with and support around the world! Thank you from the bottom of my heart... and love is truly greater than fear!

We are constantly inspired by the way our customer

We are constantly inspired by the way our customers use our products in their home and love how @sarahhenke styled her kid’s cubbies with their own animal hangers from India + palm fiber baskets from Morocco and a catch-all Rwandan basket! We’re all about CUTE + FUNCTIONAL around here👏🏼 Share your inspiring #DriftlessStyle moments with us; we love to see it in the wild.
