What Walnut is bringing to this Friday’s farmers market, July 3 (full text)

(Re-post because previous text got cut off. )

Hi folks,
Walnut Studiolo is hosting a booth at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market about once a month this summer: July 3, August 7, September 4.

At our tables we’ll have a mix of:
one-of-a-kind locals-only products that Geoff makes for fun, like garden hods or wood spoons and spatulas
representation of the 50+ leather goods available on our website (games, interior design, bicycle accessories, and more)
sometimes little food or herbal projects Valerie does for fun

NEW FOR JULY 3RD: We’ve developed a food-safe “wood butter” called Flax Wax (cold-pressed flaxseed oil and beeswax). All of our wooden spoons and spatulas going forward will come finished with it. We’ll have tins of them as well as little wood care kits with “just the right amount of abrasive” hand pad and buff rag. We also have a fresh batch of wood spoons and spatulas, and a very special batch of cherrywood bench scrapers!

If time and crowds allow: we may be able to do a few free wood care demos. If you’ve bought a wood spoon or spatula from us before and it’s feeling dry, bring it to the table for a quick treatment.

We’ll be at the market to meet and greet the community. If you’ve ever wondered about that brown sign on Highway 53 near the Grange, stop by our table and say ‘hi’!

Our travel games and driftwood cribbage boards are also available for sale at REVIVAL in Nehalem and we offer free local pick-up for orders on our website.

Happy summer,
Valerie & Geoff Franklin

Show Us Some Love: Rethinking Fireworks

Show Us Some Love: Rethinking Fireworks

posting on behalf of Kim Rosenberg

Usually when people complain about the 4th of July it has to do with the noise fireworks make and the distress they cause humans and their animal companions. Every year we hear about the horrible accidents and the fires that are started by fireworks and yet…

It’s fire season now and much of the West has been experiencing drought conditions for years. In 2017 a 15 year old boy threw a firework into a ravine starting the Eagle Creek fire—a fire that burned almost 50,000 acres of land destroying four homes. Historically the coast is not immune from devastating fires—the Tillamook Burn was actually a series of four catastrophic forest fires that burned 355,000 acres of old-growth rainforest between 1933 and 1951. According to the National Park Service 85% of all wildfires are caused by humans. Why add one more thing to risk a wildfire? As I write this on June 30, 2026, there are currently over 50 large wildfires burning in the Pacific Northwest. In Utah just days ago three wildland firefighters were killed fighting fires and yet, fireworks are legal during the hottest, driest time of the year.

What’s been left out of the conversation is how fireworks effect the wild things among us—the pollinators, songbirds, fish and wildlife. Many of these creatures are already under significant stress from loss of habitat.

Did you know there are 600 native coastal bee species? These guys are essential for local ecosystems and agriculture. They depend on blooming native plants like Douglas Aster, Willamette Valley Gumweed, and Goldenrod. Did you know that one of the species—the bee most common, the Western Bumble Bee has drastically declined along the coast? Did you know the noise and smoke from fireworks confuses bees so they can’t find their way to their nest and die overnight?

I’ve been feeding birds since we moved here. I’ve seen dozens of species of birds at the feeders and in the twin berry bushes, Manzanita bushes and native plants I’ve put in my yard. Some of the species are declining rapidly like the tri-colored blackbird who showed up this winter at my feeder or the Evening Grosbeaks that used to come hit the feeders in large groups. This year I only saw four. Some birds migrate through and others are here year round. When lots are cleared or a homeowner decides to take out native vegetation to put in gravel, habitat is lost and the creatures of the wild suffer. We may not recognize it, but we suffer too.

This time of year from April until August birds are fledging. The babies are growing quickly but this year some species are a little late to move out on their own. Nesting birds are frightened by explosions and bright flashes of light from fireworks. They try to fly away but because they can’t navigate in the dark they have fatal collisions with buildings, they abandon their nests and young who will be killed by predation, or they fly far out to sea become exhausted and die, or simply die of shock. Did you know birds have highly sensitive respiratory systems and can die just from the toxic smoke from fireworks?

Did you know the waste from fireworks when in water kills fish?

We all know folks with animal companions who must be tranquilized during the 4th of July in order to deal with the stress of fireworks. That stress extends to wild animals—the deer, the squirrels, the chipmunks, the bear, the elk, the bobcat. Nobody is dosing their water with Xanax.

Let’s rethink how we celebrate this holiday. Instead of blowing things up and burning things down, why not go to the parade, go to the pancake breakfast, gather with friends and family for food, go to a community fireworks display—and if you want a real lightshow? Meet me on the beach at sunset. I’ll bring the wine.

Not Quite a Garage Sale

Need to make room in the shed and decided that it’s time to part with some of the outdoor goodies. Not a lot of stuff, but they’re all in good shape and lightly used. Here’s a few items:

Coleman 6-human tent, used once

2 Coleman pop-up screened canopies. One got damaged during a thunderstorm in Burns, so Coleman replaced it. So, you get two for one!

2 zero-g chairs

Maybe some fishing stuff and things that we discover around the house between now and then.

Explore Netarts Bay –

Join the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS July 17th from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to explore the diverse plants and animals that call Netarts Bay home with guest scientists Dr. Allie Tissot, Kim Brown, and Katalin Plummer. In addition to their ecological expertise, our program leaders also speak Spanish, so we are excited to offer this exploration as a bilingual program!
If you’ve enjoyed WEBS’ Tidepool Tours, you won’t want to miss this. While we’ll be exploring the mudflats of the bay instead of the tidepools, this program will feature a similar blend of expert-led learning and space to follow your own curiosity. We’re excited to nerd out with you!

NOTE: Please arrive 15 minutes early to find parking and check in!

Registration is required for this free event. Learn more and register at: www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
This popular event fills up quickly! If the event is full, please add your name to the waitlist so we can reach out if spots become available.

What to bring: Be sure to wear shoes that are securely attached to your feet, flip flops will not be allowed. We recommend tall, waterproof boots. The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable.

Difficulty: Moderate due to the challenges of walking over rocks to reach the bay, and walking on soft, wet sand throughout the program. If bad weather develops, an alternate plan will be communicated to the registered participants.

Parking: There is a small parking lot at our meeting location, as well as pull-offs along Netarts Bay Road for additional parking.

Looking for Deck Wood (new or used)

My deck and stairs need some TLC; a board or board section replaced here and there. Just wondering if anyone has new or salvageable pieces left from a deck project I could take off your hands, or a contractor who just replaced a deck and is otherwise taking usable wood to the dump? Wood needed: deck boards 5/4 4”, at least 4’ in length and for the stairs 1 1/4 x 6” at least 51” in length.

I can pick up most lengths.

Thank you!
