Amy + Joe Sharp of Little Alouette are the go-get 'em type.Confident, positive +imaginative.  A hoot to work with and their wood toys are a treasure and a delight (and incredibly popular). Thank you Amy + Joe!

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When Joe was a little boy he wanted glam rocker and Amy wanted to be a professional roller skater. 
Joe was also interested in woodworking as Joe's dad built model airplanes from scratch in the North of England and was an inventor. Amy was an artistic wee one and always wanted to create. Her favorite place was the library and it still is today.

What inspires you the most? Your kids, your life, trees... do tell!
Our children are our main inspiration forest. We are so blessed to have kiddos that have great imaginations and massive amounts of love. It is creative city here everyday. We like modern design and find a lot of inspiration walking in the country of Southeastern Ohio where Amy is from. We own land in Athens, Ohio and like to escape the city as much as we can. Being in the country is like the best therapy for stress. It helps open yr mind.
