celebrating where you live & where life takes you WHOLESALE CATALOG 2016
Let’s Celebrate! So many changes and new developments this year! My one little idea that started in a local stationery store three years ago has grown to dozens of stores in four states and counting. It has been a wonderful, wild ride! I have loved meeting you and seeing your enthusiam for your town or state. Your support and excitement about my designs and products is so appreciated. Tandem For Two’s growth has enabled me to involve other cottage industires: a freelance designer, seamstress, a nearby printer, and local high school students learning the ropes of a small business. I’m proud to partner with other small businesses and individuals and that all that we create is made in Midwest.. The artwork from Tandem For Two celebrates where you live and where life takes you, so celebrate with us and enjoy the ride!

The story of Tandem for Two... My sister and I took a pickup truck and filled it to the brim one spring as we traveled a 100-mile yard sale through the Midwest. At the end of our trip, I found a classic Montgomery Ward tandem bike in a farmer’s barn. His kids and grandkids had grown and didn’t ride it. I had to have it and somehow managed to add it to the overflowing truck. We cleaned up that orange tandem bike and it became the main mode of transportation for me and my young daughter throughout our small beach town. Tandem For Two got its start in 2012 and the logo was born when my son suggested the name, complete with our orange tandem bike. He got it right. This tandem bike, that went from a Midwest farm to a small beach town, sums up all that we love about where we live. Its bike basket has carried veggies from our farmers’ market, towels for the beach, picnic dinners to the park, and even our dachshund gets an occasional ride.
