Suddenly, It's Real!

Our new truck!

Lots of new things happening this summer! First off, this is our "new" truck! Isn't she a beauty???!!!! She's a 1989 Dodge Ram. Ben is in Door County right now with title in hand :) Yahooo! 

We are moving to Door County, Wisconsin on July 1st, so everything is sort of hectic around here. Everything is (almost) boxed up and the Uhaul truck is reserved. We'll be moving into a converted "machine shed" with a glorious space for a wood shop and silk screen studio! We are really excited to get set up in our new space. 

We will also be helping our dear friend Nate with his new restaurant called Harbor Landing in Egg Harbor. Soooo...if you find yourself needing a nice layed back mid-west vacation......hop on over to Door County, rent yourself a cozy little cabin and eat some amazing "local" and organic eats at the restaurant! The menu changes weekly and Ben has a solo show up in the upstairs gallery! 

Thanks for stopping by! We have some exciting new items in the works for late summer, so stay tuned!

We have restocked our T-shirt sizes! Yaaahoooo!

Yes! Suddenly, It's Spring! and apparently it's almost SUMMER!? That just doesn't seem possible! Anyway.....you asked for em' , and you got em'.....we have more smalls and mediums in our shoppe! 

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!

Natalie recently did a painting of our good friend Chris and his uncle. This is that painting. We thought it turned out pretty good and thought we would see if anyone else has a favorite uncle....or aunt...or gramma.....grandad?.......(or?) that would like to have a custom double portrait done in this manner....

This painting is not for sale. This is Chris's! If you have something in mind, contact us on Etsy with some pictures and maybe a little story and we'll see what we can do! 

This painting (gouache and gesso) is on a thrifted wood plaque and hangs either by the hook or flush to the wall. Your painting will also be on a thrifted wood plaque, with gouache and gesso and maybe a little acrylic...who knows! It's custom! Anything is possible!

MEASUREMENTS: 
about 14" x 9 1/4" x 3/4"

For the details, please visit our shoppe!

If you would like to see the original photo this was inspired by, you can see that HERE! Chris is the mastermind behind The Mountain Label. You'll probably want to check that out too! At least we think you should...

UPPERCASE Magazine

WOW! We received our copy of the very first UPPERCASE magazine in the mail this week! We were very very honored to be featured in the article about Treehouses! The magazine is beautifully designed and printed by the folks who run Uppercase Gallery in Calgary, Canada. Thank you Uppercase for including us! 

Burnt wood and Boho couture

It's been a while since we've posted anything on the site! For the past week I've been sick with the flu. I still don't feel tip top and fill sort of guilty touching the keyboard! Anywho....as with everyone else living in the colder climates, we are thrilled to start seeing green again. 

I wanted to announce that Ben's mom "Nancymom" has some new Boho Shirts in her shop! They are beautiful. They are made from very soft, 100% cotton vintage pillowcases with detailed embroidery. She will also be adding a few mother/daughter aprons to her shop early next week. You can see a sneak peak of her new aprons here!

Ben has recently been very inspired by the architect Terunobu Fujimori, discovered in the most recent issue of Dwell. These gorgeous new YoYo's and Mustache Key Hook have been charred (burned!) and then finished with a clear lacquer. To see more detailed photos of both, please visit our shoppe!

We hope everyone is staying healthy :)
