Uncle Arnie’s Snow Shoes

$200 
(Sold)*



















These wooden snowshoes, once owned by my uncle Dr. Arnie Towe, a former professor of physiology and biophysics at the University of Washington, are significant examples of traditional snowshoe design. Snowshoes have been used for thousands of years across northern latitudes, originally developed by Indigenous peoples and early inhabitants to traverse deep winter snow. Crafted from bent hardwood frames and rawhide webbing, early designs varied by region, with long, narrow snowshoes for deep forest travel in the North and wide, rounded Bear Paw or Huron styles for flatter terrain in North America, alongside simpler European designs suited to alpine and Nordic conditions. European settlers adopted and refined North American styles, and by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, wooden snowshoes were commercially manufactured with laminated wood and leather bindings. While eventually supplanted by modern materials, these snowshoes remain a tangible link to the ingenuity and practicality of their makers.
Barley Twist Side Table


$ 395













The Barley Twist Side Table, distinguished by its elegantly spiraled legs resembling twisted sticks of barley sugar, traces its origins to the Jacobean period of early 17th-century England. This design became popular during a time when furniture makers experimented with intricate turned wood techniques, often using the spiral form to showcase craftsmanship and add visual interest to chairs, tables, and bedposts. The style saw a revival during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when antique-inspired furniture became fashionable, and it has since remained a symbol of traditional elegance. Its enduring appeal lies in the combination of decorative sophistication and functional design, making it a staple in both period reproductions and classic interiors.

Tea Pot with Patina
Vintage / Antique 

$45




Before Starbucks, people drank tea or brewed their own coffee. This beautifully patinated teapot serves as a reminder of where we’ve come from and a hint at where we might be headed. Functional for use or aesthetically striking as a display piece, it’s the perfect addition to add a touch of rustic charm to a tech person's fourth vacation home.

Antique Japanese Glass Float


$225

















 Japanese glass fishing floats were first made in the early 20th century to keep nets buoyant and were widely used by Japanese fishermen until the mid-20th century. Over time, many were lost at sea, and ocean currents carried them across the Pacific, where they sometimes wash up along the Oregon and Washington coasts. Collectors and coastal enthusiasts prize these floats for their handcrafted glass, subtle colors, and historical maritime connection, with value depending on size, color, condition, and whether the original rope netting survives. Finding one on a beach in this region is considered a rare and charming glimpse into maritime history, making even small floats highly sought after by collectors and decorators alike.

Raku Style Wabi Sabi Vase


$ 45

















This piece of unknown origin and method calls to mind the Japanese ceramic art form of Raku. Defined by its distinctive firing technique, Raku pottery produces unpredictable glaze effects and textures. Rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi, it celebrates imperfection and transience, finding beauty in the natural and often accidental outcomes of the process. In the Pacific Northwest, where life is framed by dense forests and constant gray, this aesthetic offers a counterpoint to the engineered precision of contemporary life. On a dark, rainy spring day, as one looks through a window blurred by water into shifting abstractions of form and light, it is comforting to have ceramics nearby, objects that can elevate such depressing moments into heightened, aesthetically pleasing depressing moments.

$45 




Sometimes you need a box, and this is a lovely black one with character. Subtle, faded gold lines outline its edges, and a delicate embossed detail adorns the top, lending it quiet elegance.

Tulalip First Nations 
Cedar hat

This beautifully crafted cedar hat was made by a member of the Tulalip First Nation, continuing a centuries-old tradition of Northwest Coast craftsmanship.

Brass Clam Shell 
Door Knocker

$125

size: 4" H x 4.5" W x 2" D


Victorian Dress Collar

$60










  •      This finely crafted lace collar reflects Victorian fashion, where intricate lacework was a sign of refinement and social status. Descended from 16th century ruffs, the collar gradually evolved into the softer, more ornate, and wearable designs of the 19th century, specifically made to sit elegantly over high-necked dresses or blouses. In late 19th century Washington, collars like this were primarily worn for social occasions or when receiving guests, signaling a woman’s style and social grace. Designed to be removable, they could be easily taken off for careful cleaning, preserving their delicate beauty for repeated wear.
