Powder River Paint Available!

I've been awaiting the wonderful new CLEAR pint containers for the Powder River Organic Paint before I could open the online shop! It just wasn't as interesting to take pics of cans! As soon as the quart size cans are gone, they'll be switching over to clear quarts too! YAY! I love that it's so easy to see which color you want to grab … [Read more...]

Calling All Parrot Heads

Jimmy Buffett comes here almost every summer. All the parrot heads hiding out all year come out in all their glory to party like it was 1980....I suppose.
