Fused Glass Salt and Pepper Bowls

Last time we went to Westcliffe we picked up some salt and pepper from the Amish Deli. The cool thing about the salt and pepper is it comes in plastic bowls. So, I decided to buy wooden salt and pepper bowls with lids and of course I decided to put […]

Screen-printed Bags

Screen-printed Bags

I’m not sure how your state is but in Colorado you either have two pay for bags (10 cents) or buy some reusable bags. BTW next year stores won’t have the plastic bags available – so we have a year to remember our bags because of course I forget the […]
