We'll be closed for the Estrella War

This is to let you know that our business will be closed from February 4 to February 17, 2010. This is so that John can attend the Estrella War in Florence, Arizona. If you happen to be going there yourself and order something for us before February 4, we could bring it down to you and save you some shipping charges. (The merchandise has to be paid for in advance, though.) You'll find John running the woodworking shop at the Period Demo Area near Grand Court and the A&S Tent. Please stop by if you can and say hello!



Our book, The Pavilion Book, has been a steady seller from the day it was introduced, and we'd like to thank all of those who have bought and recommended it. We strive to make sure that your favorite book merchants will have copies.


We now stock Portable Holes! Click on this link for details.
