The Full Story
About Us
Welcome to Stars n Stripes – where handmade gifts are crafted with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of love.
We’re a family-owned and operated business built on a simple but powerful idea: that meaningful gifts come from meaningful lives. Our story began on opposite sides of the country – two people, each with a passion for creativity and craftsmanship, living miles apart but united by shared values. Fate (and maybe a little serendipity) brought us together, and today, we’re raising seven amazing kids while building a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work.
Stars n Stripes grew out of late-night projects, family weekends at craft fairs, and a shared dream of doing something that reflects who we are – makers, parents, and believers in the power of small things done with great love. Every item in our shop is thoughtfully handmade, not just to look beautiful, but to carry meaning – a story, a memory, a smile.
As we teach our children the value of dedication, honesty, and following through on your dreams, we hope to pass on a little piece of that spirit to you through our work. When you support Stars n Stripes, you're supporting a real family, real hands, and real values.
From our home to yours – thank you for being part of our story.
Mission
At Stars n Stripes, our mission is to create meaningful, handcrafted gifts that reflect the values we live by – family, faith, hard work, and heartfelt connection. We believe that every gift should tell a story, spark joy, and strengthen the bonds between people. Through our craft, we aim to inspire others to celebrate life’s special moments with intention, beauty, and authenticity – one handmade piece at a time.
Vision
We envision Stars n Stripes as a trusted name in handmade gifting – known not just for the quality of our products, but for the values we stand for. Our goal is to grow a business that stays rooted in family, craftsmanship, and community, while inspiring others to cherish meaningful moments and honor the simple beauty of heartfelt giving. As we expand, we dream of passing this legacy on to the next generation – teaching our children, and others, that purpose, passion, and integrity can build something truly lasting.
