Don't you just love holidays? Especially the part where you get to open presents. There are many reasons to celebrate, but lets all be honest, the presents are the best part. I even like watching people open the presents I get them. It's fun! There is, however, one big problem in all this, that being getting from here to there. In other words ... shopping!
Now don't take this the wrong way, but I hate shopping with the same passion as tetanus shots and trespassers. But there I was every year ... what to buy? Where to shop? Then I discovered a solution to my problem without the pain of the shot or the anger of the trespassers. It's a place that's easy to find, a place where I can do all my shopping, for every member of my family from my wife and daughters, to my father, brothers, and mother. The new Jackpine Trading Company is the place and it has something for everyone. This fine store in Siren, Wisconsin was formerly named Creative Jewelers. They still have all the wonderful items they were famous for and now with a new name and soon to be a whole new building. This is really the place to go.
All That Glitters ...
Tim D' Jock is proprietor and in-house jeweler. Which brings us to just one part of this fascinating corner store. Which is to say at Jackpine Trading Company all that glitters is not necessarily 24 Karat gold. Though it might very well be. But some of the sparkle comes from Belgian Ideal Cut Diamonds to name two.. Plus opals, pendants, gold engagement sets, and 14 karat chains to name a few more. If you guys out there want to show your wife how much you appreciate her, shop for her here. But when you stop at Jackpine Trading Company bring a pen and your own shopping list because there's a lot here for you too.
The Cutting Edge ...
Are you an outdoorsman? Do you need a knife? Actually, that's a silly question. A Woodsman can't have enough of Hershey bars or knives. Jackpine Trading Company has an excellent selection of knives: pocket knives of all sizes with beautiful outdoor and wilderness art work on the handles. There are woodsman knives, antler handle beauties with high carbon steel blades perfect for any job around deer camp and they're oh so beautiful. In fact this is one knife that looks good just hanging on your hip. If you need a new knife or someone you love needs or wants one this is the place.
Unique Gift Items and Collectibles ...
Literally, a store for everyone. How about collector plates by world renowned artists? There are popular cabin carvings, water fountains, antler art, and even wind chimes. Dress up the house this year and add an impressive mantle clock, they have wall clocks, too. Does your man have a money clip? Would someone in your life like a unique gift like a porcelain figurine, or even cut glassware. There are tee-shirts and sweatshirts and caps and don't forget to take a look at Original woodcarvings by Keith Davidson and the late John Roth. This store has a wide variety of quality items.
A Happening Scene ...
Jackpine Trading Company is an authorized dealer in Wild Wings and Terry Redlin art. There isn't a wall in your home that wouldn't be improved with a unique Terry Redlin Americana scene. There is stunningly beautiful art by outdoorsman David Maass who paints so real you expect the subject to fly off the canvas. Birds, game birds to be specific. That's his specialty because bird hunting is one of his life loves. He's not just an artist with the brush as he swings a mean and accurate shotgun too. His painstaking devotion to authenticity and detail has made him a leader in the world of wildlife art. If you're a deer hunter you can't beat a Michael Seeve print, this master of the brush and avid outdoorsman puts you in the woods with the biggest of bucks. To gaze at one of his prints is to feel the chill of the autumn wind and the thrill of meeting a big buck face to face. If you love prints with children you'll love Rollie Brandt who paints young people in outdoor settings. She is relatively new but her work is old school when it comes to detail and beauty. It doesn't matter if it's a little boy with a fish pole or on his first hunt, or little girls on a pier looking for sunnies, they're adorable and would look great hanging in your family room too. But these are just a few on the many prints to choose from, there are many to see.
