There has been so much rain in the mountains this year..  the wettest I have experienced..  Already, we have reached our annual rainfall averages..

This means there are lots of days that are rained out at the our shop..  and the streets are often quiet.

Nathan Baerreis is a gentle soul.. and a great photographer..  Sharing a little photo essay from his encounter with a fledgling on a quiet day Valley River Avenue in Murphy, NC....

Hope you enjoy it!

Back on the Blogger

My goodness..  It has been a very, very long time since I posted on this blog..  So very much has happened. in the past seven years or so..

Short version is we are all happy and healthy, if a bit older..  Our gallery is now located in Murphy, NC, and it is a good fit.  Phil & I are still doing the woodworking every day..  Our son and daughter are primary now - Lis with her metal and glass work - and Nathan with his beautiful photography and altered art pendants.

Grandson Gabriel is growing up and has sold his first painting - which is, I guess a Baerreis tradition.

Our website is still up and going but we are now very active on facebook - Designs by Baerreis  .  Nathan Baerreis Photography  Gallery 26 is the name of our new venue - we are a year in the new location and are loving it!

I still enjoy making hair forks for women all over the world and welcome custom orders.

I know it has been a long time, but look forward to getting back into this and writing about our lives and what we do..
