Cool Etsy artisan crafts... even nicer in person, right here in Bend!




Little blurb in the Bulletin yesterday promoting garden markers (made of vintage silverware) to buy online through Etsy. Cute, but did you know you can get these locally at Pomegranate? I have to say, with all due respect, ours are even better (hand crafted by artist pals in Salem). We put our own little twist on the ones we carry, with verbiage we thought up especially for the purpose. Here's the thing: we figure you'll know which herbs are rosemary and which are thyme, so instead of stating the obvious, we asked for fun sayings, which will go anywhere (and make a great gift, too). I love the idea of a kitchen window herb planter with a "Le Petit Jardin" vintage silver stake in it. Or how about "Just Grow," or "Think Love." They can go in outside planters, herb gardens, indoor orchids...anywhere!

Yep, they're adorable. So are our little card/recipe holders made of spoons and forks and adorned with a single crystal. Love the sweet keychains, too. Mine makes a lovely 'ping' against all the dangling keys. Stop by to take a look. More fun than going online, yes? By the way, we love work from local artists! Right now we have some beautiful new pottery made in Bend, and our always wonderful line of hand-painted magnets and magnetized clothespins for clipping love notes, art, postcards.
