Hey, all. Who do you know wants to buy a bar? Someone I’ve known for decades helped me build it to order for someone they’ve known for decades and they went silent when it came time to arrange delivery. It’s gorgeous and I want to be so proud of it but it’s become an albatross. So much time, effort and materials that I expended when I could have been getting myself caught up is a hard kick in the nads. It’s nearly all white oak and it’s constructed 100% from salvaged/curbside/reclaimed/remilled material, not a stick of new lumber in it. All antique brasses and hardware including any visible screws. Beautiful multi layer matte lacquer finish over a vinyl sealer, ready for years of use. It’s built in 7 individual pieces for ease of transport and installation. Delivery and setup is certainly available! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to share with anyone you know who might be interested. Thanks.

Hey, all. I’m not sure who needs to hear this but this is a tire valve core removal tool. It’s available for a few bucks at any auto parts store, bike shop, industrial supply warehouse etc.. It removes a valve core within seconds and causes no direct damage. It will quickly leave a vehicle with greatly diminished mobility. Feel free to share this knowledge. Just sayin’..

Hey, all! I want to give a HUGE THANKS to everyone who joined us for our Holiday PopUpShop. We had a great mix of new and returning vendors and wares! Even with the cold and snow this community turned up! What energy! So many hugs! So happy for the neighborhood businesses who stepped in and helped create what became the 2025 Bay View Holiday Celebration in lieu of the absence of Christmas on KK! Thanks to our vendors and visitors cash donations, Kate was able to fill her car with a mountain of foodstuffs and household supplies and deliver them to the Bay View Community Center’s Emergency Food Pantry yesterday. Y’all came through so generously that she can do it again next weekend! Big love, peace and Happy Holidays however you celebrate..

Minimally embellished as I like to let folks tie on what they like, pine cones and a bow if you wish.. Message me for pickup or see me next Friday at our 9th Holiday PopUpShop where I’ll have more made fresh from my next order of supplies!

Hey, all! We still have room for you to join us for our 9th Holiday PopUpShop! We try to make it easy to participate, no setup fee, just asking for a small amount of your proceeds be donated to the BVCC when they really need it.. As well, there’s a variety of folding tables and gridwalls here if transportation’s a problem. Message me if you’d like to join us or if you have any questions.
