Taking a walk today through English Camp, San Juan Island. The natural beauty astounds. Though used by the British In the 1860’s, it had been a tribal village for hundreds and hundreds of years before. In fact, a shell midden measuring 300 x 600 feet! was discovered there, which attests to its long civilization.

Breathing in the glorious autumn air today was just the ticket (as my granny always said). This is just a couple minutes from our house, and I never tire of this view.

It is the unique art you add to your home that makes your home a joy and distinctively you. This crown, made of spent matches, certainly fills the bill. By Patti Shaw. 6” tall and 11” diameter at the top.

“Ensemble” by Louise Durocher. The lines are intentional, smooth, fluid, exacting. The two pieces rest together but either can be on its own. Sold separately. SWIPE to see another view. Come and see this.
The gray piece is about 16 inches long; the white a bit shorter. Can be shipped!

The work of Larry McLaughlin makes my heart happy. This one called “Schmitterlink” meaning butterfly in German. As an outdoor sculpture, the butterflies in the garden are attracted to the gold leaf wings. You could have your own Disney moment right in the backyard! This one is six feet tall, but I have them in all sizes. McLaughlin has been sculpting concrete for 40 years!

Are you sitting down? This work by Seattle’s Patti Shaw just arrived in the shop. Titled “For Joan of Arc.” Made of hundreds of wick tabs from votive candles collected from St. James Cathedral. It’s a marvel, and when you think of all the prayers represented in this work...
It’s the same in the back as it is in the front, so it can be displayed with that in mind. 41w x 38h (inches). Thank you, Patti, for your vision.

SOLD. Thank you. This chubby little bird is actually a 19th century tool from northern India/Nepal region. The tail comes out, you put water in, stick it on the fire, and PRESTO: steam comes out the tiny hole at the end of the beak. A jeweler’s steamer, they say. A solid little guy, made of copper, I think, but blackened from a lot of years on the job. Irresistible. In the shop.

Near the ceiling of my bookshelf niche sit a pair of my “piano key” houses by collector/maker @burtonlholt. I love looking at these everyday. There are two more in the shop right now—one made with dominoes, the other of wood rulers.

JUST ARRIVED! Sculptor Louise Durocher has titled this piece “Ensemble.” These pieces rest together in perfect balance but each can stand alone as well. A metaphor for a loving couple perhaps? But that’s just me. Durocher prefers the viewer to react to her sculptures in their own personal way. It is offered as you like it—you can purchase both pieces or just one. Whichever way you do it, these are pretty glorious. You can’t help but touch them. In a word: sublime. I want them for my coffee table. Grey marble and statuary marble. The grey one is 16 inches in length and about 5 inches high. The white a bit smaller. SWIPE for more pics.
