Just in time for the holidays! The Joinery is now featuring two new really fun toys made by Baldwin Toys of Omaha, Nebraska. Each of these pieces are handcrafted by artist and owner Steve Baldwin. Since 1976 Steve has been making toys with a focus on the quality. His work has been featured in shows across the country and received numerous awards. What we really enjoy about Baldwin toys is that he makes toys for everyone: from collector pieces to the toys that endure a childhood of playing.

For this holiday season The Joinery is featuring Baldwin Toys Wood Car 4 Pack Toy and his Transporter Toy. Both of these pieces are made with a two wood species and finished with a food safe oil finish.

The Wood Car 4 Pack features a carrying case and 4 cars that are held in place with two pins. All you have to do is pull out the pin and take your cars for a spin.

We’re pleased and excited to have found a perfect match in mattresses for our collection of beautifully crafted beds.

Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company is a small, 30-year-old Seattle business committed to the art and science of a deep and healthful sleep — and they do so with uncompromising custom craftsmanship, astute innovation, locally-sourced organic materials, utmost integrity and an evolved social consciousness that makes them an active and honored member of their community.

In other words, Soaring Heart is everything The Joinery expects of itself. So there’s nothing strange about these two bedfellows joining forces to furnish you with the whole framework and fabric of a good night’s sleep. To see all the Soaring Heart Mattresses The Joinery offers, visit our mattress page.

To celebrate this partnership, The Joinery will be hosting a Soaring Heart Product Event at our Woodstock showroom on Saturday, July 23rd. At this special event you can meet one of the makers of these amazing mattresses and learn about their product first hand.

You may come to The Joinery looking for something big, but it’s hard to avoid leaving without one of our small handcrafted ornaments, curios or other practical or whimsical holiday accessories. Every year we help make the season bright by selecting a few distinctive, Joinery-quality ornaments, toys and wooden whatnots for your own seasonal display and your gift list.

Among the items we feature this year are wooden ornaments that a John Doering makes from The Joinery’s own scrap lumber. We also have some delightful little felt ornaments that look like cuddly woodland critters, wooden animal cutouts, and the ever so popular wooden snowflakes.

Whether you come in with a dresser, a table or an entertainment center in mind, you’re likely to leave with a bauble you love.  Drop in soon and give in to the temptation!

Some of our more popular accessory items this time of year are the Plywerk Maggie and Stanley pictures frames, handcrafted locally in Portland and the Charley Harper Tiles by Motawi Tileworks in Ann Arbor Michigan.

We are proud to be an outlet for local and national artisans whose mastery of their craft and standards of quality are as unstinting as our own. If you want to give gifts that are labors of love, not of an assembly line, come in and ogle the merchandise.

The Joinery is proud to stock an array of handmade utensils from Jonathan's Spoons, whose flame-blacked wild cherry wood designs are a natural complement to The Joinery's own marriage of furniture form and function. Once you've held one of these finely balanced, beautifully finished utensils in your hand, it's hard to go back to the characterless wares from the gadget rack.

Let us show you how much love can go into a pickle fork. A honey stick. A set of salad tongs. Or a cherrywood ladle. All of these item make for thoughtful, much-appreciated, long-lived gifts -- but be warned: the temptation to keep them for your own kitchen is so great you might as well buy a few for yourself while you're here!

The story behind the founding of Jonathan's Spoons makes for good reading, as does their philosophy of making their products as practical as they are beautiful. You can read all about them at woodspoon.com/about. Then come in and pick one up to feel the difference. Photos courtesy of Jonathan's Spoons.
