July with Dresden & Co.

 What a fun way to celebrate an American company’s fifth anniversary. Our Uncle Sam Gnome delights from the brim of his Top Hat to the snowy white of a beard woven into his blue body. He’s the latest in a series of gnomes but with a completely different look. Add him to your Americana collection or your Gnome collection. He is part of my D&Co. gnome collection! He's adorable!

If you love to camp, we’ve got just the dishes to go along on the journey. Grab a Happy Camper Mug for your morning coffee and serve up lunch or dinner on our Happy Camper Plates. For good measure, we’ve got a Happy Camper Cookie Jar to hold dessert and Happer Camper S’mores Popcorn for snacks!

Take Dresden & Company along on your next summer road trip. We’re here to celebrate the open road with our Great Southwest baskets recognizing the creativity of Native American basketmakers. Pack the Southwest Square Basket with road snacks and trail maps. Pull out the Coaster Basket for end-of-the-day refreshments as you plan the next day’s adventures.
