Celtic Stirring Paddle
–
A kitchen treasure! 
Do you spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Are you a lover of all things culinary- colorful, delicious, and savory? These stirring paddles are one of our new items in our shop and are a must-have in the kitchen. They add so much enjoyment to food preparation. Jeff started making them because we use them so much in our own kitchen. I use them for stirring soups. Jeff has used them for mixing dough for his homemade sourdough bread. A friend has even flipped pancakes with them!
Jeff and I have been talking about having less “stuff”, but fewer items of high quality, especially in the kitchen! These stirring paddles are made to last. He creates them to be a family heirloom that can be passed down.

Hand-carved in local, reclaimed Oregon myrtle wood. I love the carved, interwoven celtic knot at the top. Myrtle wood is a rare wood that only grows in southern Oregon and northern California. According to folklore, it is said to bring prosperity. This wood is gorgeous!! Look at the swirls in the grain, it’s enough to make wood lovers swoon! Nice and sturdy and feels great in your hand. Sanded so smooth and finished with natural walnut oil. It measures a tad under 12 and 3/4″ long.

Tree Pendant
–
For all you tree and nature lovers out there, Jeff creates these hand-carved Tree Pendants from the inspiration of the forest around us. There is something about trees that has always captivated people. I know it’s that way for Jeff and I. Being around them is soothing to the soul and Jeff creates a lot of artwork with hand-carved trees on them. Trees remind us of our inner wisdom. And also to be grounded, rooted, and present.

Hand-carved in local, reclaimed spalted birdseye maple burl wood. The polished wood feels so good against the skin and soaks up your oils over time- changing the color of the wood. Comes on a cotton cord with a slide knot on the end so that you can adjust the length. With the local, reclaimed wood- you can enjoy wearing earthy style with a conscience.
Measures 1 and 1/2″ tall.

Tribal Earrings
–
So unique and truly stunning on! I love the shape and the design he carved in them. The carving looks tribal to us, but blends beautifully with lots of different styles.
These earrings are hand-carved in reclaimed mountain mahogany wood, which is a desert wood with a vibrance of colors. The colors can vary from warm reds to deep browns to light beige. Some very dense, gorgeous wood we are blessed to be able to work with. Even though the wood is very dense, these earrings are surprisingly lightweight.
Measures 2 and 1/4″ long. They come on silver plated ear wires.

    When you asked everyone to post a link on FB for an extra entry, I posted a link to the beautiful Shield of the Tree Clan that I love so much… and my best friend bought it for me! It arrived safe and sound, and I ADORE it and just love wearing it!

  10. I LOVE your craftsmanship! It’s hard to choose one favorite out of your shop, but it probably would be the tree of solitude and peace.

    I love trees and one day I will have to get one of your pendants!

    warmly,
    Angela

  11. You are such a lovely and generous couple♥

    Wow! How can I just choose one thing I’d love to see in a giveaway?! I guess I’d have to say, though, that I adore the Green Forest Pendant—I feel more grounded and connected just looking at it.

    I also just posted a note about the current giveaway and a link on my Facebook page—I hope it causes folks to stop by your Etsy shop and stay for a long while.

    Blessings, Patti

  16. I’d love the Celtic Oak Spoon for my sweet ten-month baby girl!

    Also have you thought of making wooden bowls suitable for baby-led weaning?
    I’m doing baby-led weaning with my daughter and I’m in the search for beautiful natural and non-toxic wooden cutlery and bowls/plates.

  21. Oh my goodness its so hard to choose. I’ve felt really attracted to earrings lately. I had a couple pair of wooden ones that I had made and I ended up loosing one earring of each of them, and I have been wanting to replace them! Your handmade earrings are much more beautiful and obviously made with love!

    I would love to see any of these as giveaways!

    Hole in the Wood Earring
    Earthen Desert Wood Earring
    or any of the spoons!! I also have an affinity for spoons!

    Thanks!

  27. I think the items that are created for your shop are absolutely beautiful…I think I would be grateful to win any of them =) I did especially like the tree of life buttons…they would be perfect for a hand knitted or crocheted sweater or cape…so they would be my choice for a give away…

  32. Oooooo! I’d have to say the hobbit buttons would make a fun giveaway. I can just imagine a homemade garment, knitted or sewn, with those beautiful buttons! Thank you for making such lovely and meaningful things.

  33. Ooh…another giveaway! Yay!
    Well..my favorite item right now is the pregnant goddess because I’m 6 months pregnant…but that one probably wouldn’t make the best giveaway.
    I think that the “Green Forest Pendant” or one of your wood spoons (like the Elfen Pocket Spoon) would make a nice giveaway.
    Blessings,
