Welcome to our store! Our goal is to share our passion for nature and history as you explore the site.

OCTOBER SPOTLIGHT

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” — Albert Camus

Autumn

The sky is a special kind of blue when Autumn sends her first Chill.    Apples baking in the oven, cinnamon, and spice scent the air.  It's a warm and cozy kind of feeling.  Feel the leaves crunching beneath your feet.    This collection brings some of the late summer vibes and the first hints of Autumn.

The NIGHT

The night we shared the dark... with the full moon rising above...too cold for bats but their spirit lingers...the night we held hands, breathing heavily as we scuffled quickly through the leaves, shadows crept by as we whispered in the dark...The night, in silence, wrapped around us, daring us to break the sounds no one could hear...but we kept going towards it,  strengthening the shiver of the night we shared the dark...

    It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

    It seems our mining season has come to an end—boo hiss! While we did enjoy a longer season with above-average temperatures throughout most of November, it's always sad to pack...
