Hello all! Sorry I've been missing from my page for a while. I've been dealing with a lot of pain from tendonitis and arthritis and haven't been able to get into the shop to create.

Still in need of a last minute Mother's Day gift?
Head on up to Elm Art & Antiques at 30 Elm St in Westfield and browse my unique wooden gifts. Perhaps a sculpted wood Jewelry/Trinket box will be perfect for Mom and something she can pass down in the family one day.

I had just finished up this floating box last week and went into my workshop to start my next project and SNAP!!!!! ( very loudly that I jumped), and my brand new blade with less than an hour of cutting time with it, it broke. $35 down the drain. I've contacted the supplier and hopefully they'll replace it.

I was just recently notified that the goimagine.com shops (which includes my website) will be closing this month due to the hosts not being able to sustain the site since they weren't able to reach their goal of 12,000 artisan sellers.
Kudos for trying to become a true online shopping place where people could buy strictly handmade items from artisans in the USA.
Keep supporting your local artisans and crafters. Be careful of Etsy because a lot of items sold there are mass produced in other countries. Do your research. There are other smaller sites out there who only sell handmade items.

Don't forget to check out my booth at Elm Art & Antiques in Westfield, Ma. 30 Elm St.
New production has been going a little slow since the holidays ( too cold to work in the shop and a few weeks without electricity) but my shelves are stocked and I'm slowly working on some new creations.

I'd like to thank all my customers and followers for your support over the past year. If you've purchased one of my pieces in the past, please feel free to write a review and share my page with your family and friends. I hope you all have a happy and healthy New Year!

I'll be taking a short break from the shop but if you are interested in any of my wood crafts, they are available for sale at Elm Arts & Antiques located on 30 Elm Street in Westfield. This is a great shop, run by a wonderful couple, full of handmade crafts and art by local creators. Check them out when you can.
