Thank you for contributing to my dream of owning my own shop and promoting arts and crafts. It has been a great experience and I have learned so much and made lots of new friends along the way. Without you, there would not have been a Made In Vernonia! Made In Vernonia has been a community meeting place and outlet for many creative people in Vernonia and the surrounding areas and it will be missed. Unfortunately, the time and effort that is required to keep the shop running is not something I am able to do any longer. Working a full time job and juggling the requirements of the shop is something that I can no longer sustain. I have many people besides my customers and vendors that I would like to personally thank for helping me along the way. I will probably forget someone, so please know that I didn’t do it intentionally. Thank you Diana Peach for always being there for me ever since I first started on Madison Ave, where Heather Lewis was so gracious to let me do a trial run in her space. Thank you to my mom, Barb Larsen, for filling in whenever I asked.

Contact Penny Costley 503-429-0196 dream and helping me out along the way. I am happy to say your toys will still be available in Vernonia at Creatures after MIV closes. Thank you Vickie Gunderson. I value the time you spent in my shop and your beautiful stained glass artwork. Thank you Wanda Azsman and Randal Harvey for your contributions with your pottery, art and friendship. Thank you Erika Paleck for exposing me to your father’s varied and large body of work and the many ways you have helped me make a go of it. Thank you Susan Ely, for making all those cool bird houses, barn wood art and keeping my planters looking fresh with all your beautiful plants. I also want to thank my landlord, Gordon Smith for being so helpful and understanding. You played a big role in helping me realize my dream. I don’t want to forget my fellow Vernonia businesses who have given me support and suggestions along the way. Thank you to everyone who make it a point to shop local! Every purchase made in our community, helps our community. My last day will be Friday, February 28th. Please stop by before I close. Many of my artists will still be selling their work at their other venues, but a few items will be on sale. I will be having an open house with refreshments on SEEDLING SALE Saturday, March 8, 2014 8:30 AM- 1:30 PM 22 species - some bag quantities Pacific Pride (Lawrence Oil) St. Helens, Hwy 30 COLUMBIA COUNTY SMALL WOODLANDS ASSOCIATION Information: (503) 556-8800 or (503) 369-9592 February 28th from 10 to 6 and I hope to see you then if not before.
