In honour of Canada’s 150th birthday, we’ve acquired Nature’s Wonders Maple Leaf Shawl Pins/Sweater Sticks. These gorgeous accoutrements are hand carved by a local artisan (Gary) using local (Ontario), salvaged wood. We ordered them especially in a darker wood so you can wear yours all year. We also carry Squiggle Sticks (see below), which are especially good at holding recalcitrant garments in place.

Sweater sticks and shawl pins serve to hold a garment closed or in place, and are an elegant way to fasten cardigans that don’t have buttons, shawls, wraps, scarves, etc. They are also extremely good at holding long hair in a bun.
