About Our Products

Many of the products we carry are handmade, handcrafted, or made from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, pattern, size, and finish are a normal part of the making process and help make each piece unique.

The first product image is the best representation of the specific item being offered for sale. Additional photos may show styling suggestions, alternate colorways, packaging, scale references, or coordinating products that are sold separately.

Because screen settings vary, colors may appear slightly different in person than they do online.

Measurements are provided whenever possible, but slight variations may occur, particularly with handmade items.

If you have any questions about a specific product before placing an order, we're always happy to help.

About Mary Lake-Thompson Ltd.

Mary started drawing and painting from the time she was a young child and never looked back. She attended the University of Colorado as an art student, before setting out for California and San Francisco’s vibrant art scene in 1970. It was there that she attended the San Francisco Art Institute, and also where she met her husband and future business partner Richard Thompson.

She and Richard attended the New York Stationary show where she picked up licensing contracts, which gave Mary the idea to design gift items and packages featuring her original artwork. Since then, Mary Lake-Thompson, Ltd. has designed and produced aprons, sponge cloths, napkins, packaged teas and of course, its signature flour sack towels.
