Welcome to Cindy's Throws Web site. We think you will enjoy our new layout. Items are easier to find, images are enhanced for better viewing, information is concise, processing is faster and your overall shopping experience is more pleasant.

Cindy's Throws was started on a whim in 1993 while Cindy was visiting her Mother in North Carolina. Together they went to one of the major weaver mills. So impressed by the merchandise Cindy's Mom loaned her $1000 to start her Throw business in California. Cindy flew home with suitcases and boxes full of cotton throws and started a small home-based business with family and friends by hosting "Throw Parties." The concept was wildly successful and in 1995 Cindy opened a retail shop in downtown Ventura, California where she sold throws and matching accessories manufactured by the numerous US domestic weaver mills.

In 1996 the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Football Game management selected Cindy's Throws to be the official licensee and designer for the Rose Bowl Stadium Throw. It was a special time for the Northwestern University Wildcats who played the USC Trojans since it had been almost 50 years since thy competed in the Rose Bowl. Cindy, Mark and friends designed and commissioned a specially woven stadium throw which included the year and the teams that were playing. In addition, during the 4 day Family Festival Event, Mark and Cindy sold Tournament of Roses throw jackets and other licensed souvenirs from a booth outside the stadium. In the end, the Wildcats were beaten by the Trojans. Cindy and Mark continued as a licensee for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Football Game through 1998.

The Web site was launched in November of 2000 after six months of design and development. This change allowed the Bronner's to close the shop in Ventura and carry out a long time dream of moving to Montana and living on a ranch. Cindy's Throws is located in Thompson Falls, Montana, a small town on the Northwestern Montana Frontier. Cindy enjoys raising her children, riding horses, tending to the many farm animals, and experiencing the "Big Sky" adventure with family and friends. Cindy's Throws maintains an office and warehouse on their ranch. Her husband, Mark runs the ranch and with his attention to detail, he has taken on the job of personalizing Cindy's Throws products using a high-tech commercial embroidery machine.

Our company and its' Web site continues to change to meet the needs of our customers and adjust to technology advances. In early 2005, Cindy felt that it was time for a facelift and with a strong vision chose a professional team to complete the task over the last four months. Cindy selected Candy Reedy, Beaver Creek Consultants, Trout Creek Montana to redesign and implement the new Web site.
