It’s Stick Season at Monroe

We know that fall and the holidays are officially upon us when Monroe restocks their best-selling branch candlesticks! They come in two sizes and three colors, and are cast in beeswax from real maple and hickory branches. I always grab pairs for my family and friends who so kindly host us. They are well made, beautiful, and unique. Go take a peak for yourself!
