When we set out to name this new business adventure of ours, we wanted something to reflect the quirky-ness of us, plus Jason's talent for building beauty out of little wooden odds and ends.
Jason used to work for a very high-end custom furniture designer, and at the end of the day, he'd bring home the scraps that were going to be thrown away. He'd put them together and make a little toy for the kids, or a wooden spoon, or a stool, etc. So, we thought of "OddsNends" for our business name, or something like it, but it just didn't stick.
Then of course, we came to plaid. Now, if you ask Karissa, she will tell you plaid is a color, one of her favorites. And plaid is made up of odds and ends of colors, so it was a perfect fit for us.
So here we are, a company committed to creating beauty out of the flotsam of the forest.
