Our traditional deep cleaning is performed in every home every time. Using a comprehensive checklist with 75 points of service attention, we thoroughly maintain your home so you're ready for any occasion and find it easier to slip away to do the things you love

(for a limited time)

You asked and we heard you! Free shipping is back for this weekend only!

You can grab our Wichita Life Cityscape Puzzle or any of our other products with free shipping through Sunday evening until the clock strikes midnight and you all turn back into pumpkins.

This puzzle is coffee table-worthy, great for family nights, and a genuinely thoughtful local gift if you still have some gift giving to do.

(There may be a couple bonus hidden gems (font misprints) that make this a rare collector some time in the future, but it is top notch quality nonetheless).

They are back in stock at Love of Character and Clifton Collective soon! Quantities are limited.

To get FREE SHIPPING, just use code WLFreeShipping if it isn’t automatically applied.
