Hi folks – the month is really scooting by – and I will only have one more chance before the holiday to DELIVER to home-or-office – this will be on TUESDAY December 17th – in the early afternoon hours. On board will be the three-variety raw honey “samplers” (see picture) which are $29 each – two for $55 or you can take FOUR for $100 on this trip only – they’re a convenient/delicious/awesome gift to hand off – or ship. I will also have quarts of the raw blackberry honey collected from the Blodgett area of the coast range – $29 each. Real maple syrup in GLASS package are $32 per quart – and the white “jug” style (BPA-free plastic) are $28 each. Holy Kakow! handmade chocolate sauce from Sisters are two-for-$15 – quite wholesome and could be a great ‘stocking stuffer’. If there are other raw honeys that you have been a fan of in the past please let me know – I can also bring some pints of COMB honey – $22 each. Jeffrey Warren – owner/operator – JW Merc JW Merc on Facebook – cell/text: 208-424-0042 E-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com Have a great holiday season everyone – thanks for another helpful year supporting my little business…jw

Custom Murals – Indoor and Outdoor
Custom Painted Furniture and Cabinets
Unique projects welcome!

Have you dreamed of seeing a splash of color or a beautiful image on your building, fence, barn, or even chicken coop? Would you like to make a special space in your home or business stand out with a unique wall mural? Maybe you’d like to transform your kitchen cabinets or a vanity with a hand-painted design? Or maybe you have something else in mind? I’d love to help you bring your ideas to life!

Contact me to discuss your vision or just to learn more about the process – initial consultations are free.

Contact: Rachel Zakrasek, Artist
Email: rachel.zakrasek.art@gmail.com

About the artist: Hi, my name is Rachel and I’m an artist based in Tillamook, OR. I love working on creative projects of all kinds. When it comes to painting, I particularly enjoy the process of embellishing an existing surface – whether a building, wall, door or piece of furniture. I find that adding art to the spaces we inhabit and the objects we use every day can make us feel more at home, reinforce our sense of place, identity, and belonging, bring a smile to our faces, lift the spirits, and inspire us. Whatever art does for you, I would love to help you experience that more in your day-to-day life.

But what will it cost?
Typically projects will fall in the range of $15-$20/sqft, however the rate can depend on a number of factors, including design complexity, location, and scale; whether I need to use a ladder or scaffolding, and the extent of surface preparation required. I will determine the proposed rate after an initial consultation on your project.
