Small glimpse of Kim's Shop Bio:

"My love of natural stone:Since I was very small I have always been a 'rock hound'. I dragged my parents to every rock/gem show I could find. I even remember a time when I was about 5 years old when I would find beautiful rocks in my yard, wash them in the sink and sell them to relatives for a penny. My grandmother carried every one she bought from me in her purse. Even though I love rocks and don't mind getting dirty I have always been a 'girly girl' and love jewelry."

Wow, with a bio like that, it's no wonder she puts her heart and soul into it! Even her "leaf" avatar is in the shape of a.....yep....you guessed it....A....HEART!

Riding The Hit Parade-Float of the Week Is...

Jennuine Candles !

Artisan Bio:
"When I first started out making my candles, I only intended on making them for friends and family, and of course for my enjoyment as well. That is until my husband took a few of my candles to work to burn at his desk while he was working and then my "business" kind of bloomed from there. His co-workers started asking if I could make candles for them and then my co-workers got wind of my new creations and they started placing orders and the orders just kept coming from there, thus the creation of jennuinecandles."

Artisan's Shop Bio:

I specialize in Mission style furniture and accessories for the Arts and Crafts, Mission and Bungalow furnished home. Inspiration for each piece I design and build draws on the rich history of Stickley, Limbert, Roycrofters, Greene & Greene and others. All these revered craftsmen had a passion for clean simple and elegant design. As a small independent furniture maker I can offer a degree of flexibility and quality not often found in larger shops. I build, primarily in Quarter sawn white Oak and Cherry. Every piece I build is carefully constructed by hand in the original style of the Arts and Crafts movement. The boards for each piece are carefully selected to match figure, pattern and grain. The joints are precision cut and hand fitted. Machine sanding is only used for the early stages of assembly, all my projects are carefully hand sanded and inspected. I use only natural finishes that are hand applied and rubbed out to a satin sheen. Each piece is unique and tailored to the desires of the client. Any of my lamps and other accessories can be ordered in a custom size or finish. All furniture starts from a drawing with your ideas and needs in mind. My hope is that the final product will be treasured by the client as well as their grandchildren.

With Christmas just around the corner- why not head on over to check out some of his pieces or inquire about a custom heirloom piece!
