Who we are

In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a small town in Washington state, I began to make face masks with the highest of standards, including layered cotton cloths and washable filters.  The stay-at-home mandate also gave me plenty of time to bake and experiment with so many recipes for assorted treats. Discovering the favorites of my family and friends has always been a delight.

 What began as a way to come together to help others and stay connected during uncertain times quickly grew into a meaningful venture.  After much encouragement from family, friends, and neighbors, a small Etsy shop called 1SmallStitch4Mankind was born.  As the demand for face masks thankfully declined, and my creativity heightened, I decided to shift my focus to other passions. 

 In 2024, 1SmallShop4Mankind was officially established.  Today, I sell lovingly handcrafted candles, reed and car diffusers, room sprays, scented foaming hand soaps and lotion, along with my family’s favorite treats for mankind and canine alike.  My shop remains rooted in care, creativity, and the same high quality that has become synonymous with my name.
