The Jarvie signature is a little hard to see; carefully check the computer lightened boxes.
The candlestick on the left was recently included in the Art of Illinois exhibit (catalog pg 62, left hand object) at the restored Governor's Mansion in Springfield.

2) A pair of Delta candlesticks in bronze with replacement bobeche:

The Jarvie signature is a little hard to see; carefully check the computer lightened boxes.
These candlesticks are obviously early production because they have the incised lines at the top and bottom of the shaft and are in Jarvie's 'Verdegrene' finish rarely found on today‘s auction market.

3) A Zeta chamberstick in spun brass with a replacement bobeche:

A beautiful aged patina!

Laura's final comment about this block print:
I get cold easily, and survive life in the snow belt by staying indoors and wearing many layers eight months out of the year.
But when the sun shines low after a big snowfall, I cannot resist a visit to the beautiful blue woods, warmed by the sun's orangey golden glow.

Yoshiko writes: "The elegant stained-glass lantern at the back porch of the Gamble House (circa. 1908) has been one of my favorite designs by the architects, Greene & Greene. I’ve been always drawn to this iconic lantern in Pasadena, California, but have been somewhat hesitant to make a print of it. It was so perfectly proportioned that I felt I had to wait until I was able to carve all the details without fail."
This linoleum block print was printed from 16 layers of colors using hand-carved blocks. Each color was hand-printed on acid-free 100% cotton Strathmore Paper, with Charbonnel ink, using Vandercook 219AB letterpress.

2) BLACK OAK

Yoshiko writes: "Described as one of the most beautiful and largest oaks by John Muir, black oaks are magnificent trees. I especially love the grove of black oak trees in Yosemite Valley in fall when the leaves of these trees turn yellow and golden, bursting forth with colors."
A Limited Edition of 190 woodblock printed in 8 colors.

3) BRISTLECONE PINE

Yoshiko writes: "This woodblock print is based on my sketch of a bristlecone pine near White Mountains, in eastern California, now within the Inyo National Forest. Growing just below the tree line in the harsh climate, bristlecone pine trees are the oldest living organisms on this planet. Known for their extraordinary longevity, they live thousands of years, mostly in the Southwestern states. I love the Bristlecone pine's gnarly barks and sparse foliage. They are stubborn, uncompromising and tenacious, yet are so beautiful in their austerity. Their haunting, silent silhouette on the craggy slopes stirs our emotion and imagination.
Limited Edition of 210 woodblock prints, made from hand-carved wood and linoleum blocks. 100% cotton, acid-free paper.

We expect Glowing Lantern - Afternoon of only 40 prints to sell out quickly.

We shivered for 3 days and nights which made us realize we need to invest in a quality Throw that we can cuddle up with while reading or watching TV.

And on the first minus 25 degree night we simply could not find enough blankets to sleep warm. Everything was cold: the walls and floor just reeked cold which was another wake up call. It’s also time to invest in a real blanket because a good sleep means everything on a very cold Winter night!

We have added to our website quality Throws and Blankets manufactured by a textile mill in Maine, USA!

Alpaca: A soft, strong, durable, lustrous silky fiber warmer than wool. The fiber has no lanolin so alpaca is hypoallergenic.
Shown above is Sugarloaf Alpaca.

Cashmere: A fine, soft wool that is three times more insulating than wool. Cashmere improves with age and is one of the longest lasting fibers available.
Shown above is Chevron Cashmere.

Wool: Wool has a greater bulk than other fibers and thus holds air which in turn retains heat.
Shown above is Oakley Plaid Wool.

Cotton: Unlike the above animal grown fibers, cotton grows as a plant and has a cellulose composition. It is spun into yarn that is soft and breathable, the hallmark of cotton fabric.
Shown L to R above: Belfast, Gingham Check, Rockport and Plaids Cotton.

Blends: Add 15% Polyester to Cotton and you a less expensive, durable, wrinkle free low maintenance fabric.
Shown above is Seacoast Blend.
