I love rocks and was drooling over the minerals and geodes. I ended up buying a pink and purple geode and a purple amethyst while the boyfriend got a really cool rock (I forgot the type). The gal who helped us was a character out of a movie. She was charming, witty and very knowledgeable of her merchandise. She was happy to help take things out of the case for us to look at. Kids came in for a treasure hunt they were doing for school, and she treated them with great kindness. Even if you aren't into rocks or fossils, I would recommend that you still check this place out. They have beautiful etched glass, mobiles and other things to peruse on the other side of their store.

There are many familiar scenes from places like Mt. Rainier, Olympic National Park, Mt. Bakers, etc. The prints range from smaller ones to massive works that can fill up a wall.

Definitely a nice stop while in Leavenworth!

This review is long overdue!…read more Steve and Teri Zimmerman do absolutely beautiful work and are a great husband and wife team. We met Steve & Teri at a Home & Garden show in Wenatchee, WA. At the time we really weren't thinking of getting decorative glass for our home, but looking at Teri's work we decided to invite her over and get her input on our project. After meeting with Teri we had a clear picture in mind of what we wanted. We provided her with some photos, she improvised where necessary, she showed us a few drafts, we agreed on a design and she created a beautiful art piece. Now instead of having a metal or wooden railing near our staircase we have Teri's beautiful artwork. Teri etched the design onto a 1/2" thick tempered glass and her husband installed it. From the first day we met to the final product was less then 2 months. They were easy to work with, and kept to their timeline. All around, I give them 5 stars. :) They are also the artists of the etched glass at the Wenatchee Clinic's waiting area. I truly enjoyed working with them and highly recommend them. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived, it was easy to see the love and care that goes into this family-owned farm. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, and the educational presentation gave us a whole new appreciation for these amazing animals. The reindeer were the true star, gentle, curious, beautifully cared for, and absolutely magical. Meeting them up close felt like stepping into a winter fairytale, no matter the season. It's one of those rare experiences that's just as meaningful for adults as it is for kids, and one you'll be talking about long after you leave. Safe to say... I left completely obsessed with reindeer, and we're already planning our next visit

Our fireplace is very unique in that the brick was salvaged from Pioneer Square long ago when our house was built. With the brick being so special, it meant that it would be hard to match with new materials. We wondered if the cinder block could be painted to look similar to the rest of the fireplace, and so we contacted Tamara. She was great and very professional, from the project proposal through the completion of the work. We are thrilled with the outcome! Thank you, Tamara, for helping us make our first house our home!!

There is a general admission of $5 which isn't expensive, but it's worth knowing before you go. You can see a small selection of the nutcrackers displayed near the entrance without purchasing a ticket so you can get a feel for what the museum has to offer before you decide if you want to go inside or not. For me it was just okay, and while I appreciate the impressive collection of nutcrackers from around the world, I'm not all that passionate about nutcrackers to be honest. If you're a collector or an antique lover or someone who really enjoys nutcrackers, I think you'll have a great time here. if you're just looking for something to do while you're walking around Leavenworth, I recommend taking a look at the free display and then deciding whether it's worth the admission for you.
