We are sad to say that we will be closing our doors at the end of this month (September 2024). Darren and I have loved running Scaly Mountain Crafters the past 3 1/2 years and have met some amazing artists and customers.

But for those who are grandparents, you’ll understand our desire to spend as much time as possible with these precious gifts while we can.

Thank you to our artists, customers and community for helping us “Do Something That Matters” - we were able to provide almost 500,000 meals since we opened the store!

Darren and I will still be selling our pens through Pens With A Purpose (www.penswithapurpose.com), so feel free to check out all that we offer. We will also still be doing our pen classes as well as bird and bat house classes at our scaly residence. Email us at [email protected] to schedule a class!

Hand-turned wood and acrylic pens, pencils and kitchen items. We offer personalized laser engraving. Great gifts that serve a greater purpose. Each handmade item sold provides 25 meals globally through SERV International. Do something that matters and give a gift that gives back.

Darren and I made this wonderful tree and Echo Cable, one of our amazing artists, made miniatures that represent some of the items in our store. You can pick up a tree and decorate yours.
