NEW!!! Handcrafted by George ebay Store

George opened an new ebay store called "Handcrafted by George".   You can find his store at:  http://stores.ebay.com/handcraftedbygeorge.

He gets a lot of reclaimed wood from a local woodworker.  The pieces of wood are too small to use on wishing wells, ornamental bridges or planters, so he has been using the short pieces to make bird houses, mason bee houses and bird feeders.  

He will take pictures tomorrow and Tuesday, so we can post listings of his items on the store.  All of the smaller items can be shipped easily, so we'll sell them in North America, postage free.  If someone wants a larger item, it will be for local pick-up only.

Rainier Round-up Days Photos by Rory Sagner

Rory Sagner took the photos below during Rainier Round-up Days.  The had the booth right next to us with pictures of her photography.  She has some beautiful photos that are on metal.  The depth and color of here photography is amazing.  I particularly liked a photo she took of Manke Road in the snow.  When I asked about it, she said it won several awards.  Stunning.
