Every Autumn the men in our town have an opportunity to compete in the Whiskerino Challenge. Each clean shaven face is inspected and come spring the beards will be compared and a winner declared.
My barely teenage sons THINK they may have a chance.
Since they can’t grow them on their faces quite yet, I thought I’d make them Mustachios for their feet.

“Movember” is a mustache growing movement in November to raise awareness for mens health issues.
Since creating these, the health of one young man in particular is heavy on our hearts.

A protion of the proceeds from Mustachios and Cookie Dusters got to Lung Cancer research in memory of Sean Trank. Sean was told on his 28th Birthday that he has Stage 3b Lung Cancer, inoperable. He fought for 9 months before his last breath.
