Happy Spring! At least that is what it feels like. After a mild winter we are all ready for an early breakup, Alaskans term for spring.

We had a very busy winter season with the few shows we are still attending, website orders and my local orders. I've been in business many years, 36 plus years, so my customer base is big enough to sustain us instead of attending shows! Shows are fun and we love to talk to folks but it is getting harder to keep up. Those shows require travel time and enough inventory to make it worthwhile. And then my custom customers wait. I'm hoping to change some of that wait time!

We did go to Nome again for the Iditarod race finish and attended the Arts and Craft show in town. It is an all week affair. We have made many friends over the years and it is fun to see all the local folks as well as the mushers and all their people. The race sure has changed over the 15 yrs we have been attending the finish. Sorry to say, but it may have been our last show in Nome. At least at Iditarod time. But one never knows …..

The only show we have booked for the summer is Moose Pass Solstice event June 21-22.  We love that place and it is our summer kick off! I have attended since 2005. We always have fun and do a brisk business. Then it is Fair time! We only do the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, as it is 14 days of selling and takes 3 weeks away from home. We look forward to just selling product. And having fun at the fair.

So, with that said, the best place to see our wares this summer is at our home showroom in Clam Gulch. Bring your family and friends. It is always fun to see the workshop where the magic happens!  It is best to warn us ahead of when you will drop by to make sure we are not off doing fun stuff. Mostly we are home and welcome the unannounced!  Hours can vary, I work in the shop from 10-5 most days or sometimes you will find me  gardening.

Please come visit us. We love sharing our craft. And you might find something you just can’t live without!

Cheers!
