Handmade Texas Mesquite Cutting Boards

Isn't this beautiful!

Both my mom and dad have been making these!

End grain Reversible Mesquite Cutting Board

12"long x 10"wide x 1.5"thick


Each board unique with its colors and grain.

Finished in food grade butcher block oil.

You may use food grade vegetable oil or olive oil to keep your board bight and beautiful!

I suggest using one side for cutting, and one side for display.

Do not put this gorgeous board in the dishwasher or soak in dishwater! Not recommended for raw meat. Food safe epoxy filler is used to fill minor imperfections to protect against bacteria

Can be purchased locally or on etsy.com $60.00

Summer Time!

This was the 22nd day this summer of over 100 degree temperatures! Dadgum, it's hot! I'm still here, still candle making and ebaying. Just still haven't figured out how to do it all with a part-time job, three busy kids, and our crazy lives! I have high hopes for this blog, as well as my business - but one thing at a time, one day at a time, seems to be the only way I can make it anymore! Please feel free to email me any time with special orders for candles or horseshoe decor!

Candle Melts are Here!

I have wanted to try making these for a while now and after making them I don't know why I waited so long! They are so simple and smell so wonderful!

So far I have made them in

New Retail Store!

Thank you Julie & Russell Herring at Four H Feed Store in Breckenridge! They are my newest retail location! I've got to go get pictures of there new addition to the store. And I swear it is the coldest spot in Stephens County - so if you are looking to cool off this summer and do a little shopping you need to check it out. I know Julie is busy filling it up with lots of great things for the guys and the ladies!

I have really neglected this blog! I can't tell you how incredibly busy the Asher household has been. I have been making lots of Dr. Pepper candles. Not sure what caused this rush...I've had this scent for a couple years now, but the last few weeks I've had tons of orders for it! I'm still working on my new store. Anyone who knows me knows I tend to change my mind...many, many times, lol!

Clearance Sale / Yard Sale

Wow! What a busy weekend! My best friends, Yarnale & Valarie, and my sis-in-law, Lori had a huge garage sale this weekend! I also clearanced out some out inventory. We had a great time and it was a huge success. I am planning a repeat of this sale the 1st weekend of May ~ which is Frontier Days here in Breckenridge. I will post more details soon. But I plan to open a portion of my store in one room and continue the sale in another. We were exhausted, but it really was a lot of fun! I took the camera to take pics but it was the very end of the sale before we remembered. I don't know about them - but I don't think I would have posted those pics - we were beat, lol!

Shopping for a New Camera!

Yep, it's really lost! The last time I remember seeing it was in my Armada - in the floorboard. Not a good place, I know...so I'm thinking it fell out of the car :(. So, now my dilema is whether to buy a really nice one or a cheap, small one! Maybe both :)

I've been working like crazy on my store and office and helping Parker get ready to open his Auto Body Shop. I need my camera so I can show some progress!

Also, I had a wonderful visit with Tammy Brown at Kitchen Works in Albany. She has been carrying my candles for a couple of years now! I will also post pics of her awesome store!

Here is a picture of some of the rustic, authentic western items we have for sale. I also carry old boots, spurs, and wranglers...and just about anything else I can get my hands on!

Has anyone seen my camera?

Yes, I have lost my camera! It's been about a week now and I can't find it anywhere! I've been wanting a new one so this is a perfect excuse, but there is no telling how many pics on there haven't been downloaded :(. I can't even remember the last time I used it......

It's been a while...

Wow, you can always tell when life gets crazy around here. First of all, the kids switched schools this past month. We are so blessed to be only a few short miles from Nancy Smith Elementary in Albany which has been named an Exemplary Campus for several consecutive years. The kids absolutley love it. Unfortunately, being an accountant, I have been swamped the past few weeks and have not had the opportunity to spend much time in their classrooms. Cason is playing the Cornet and thinks it the greatest thing ever, Addi is loving art class, and Bryce has already made so many new friends and enjoyed Pirate Day last week! I'm ready for Friday to attend their Valentine's Day parties!

These are the before pics of my new store! I will be sharing the building with my little brother who has an Auto Body Shop. So, the left hand is mine and the larger building to the right is his! Those of you who know us know we've had a few "bumps in the road" in our personal lives so we are only 2 years behind on the project, lol! But hopefully by next fall we will be ready to open! We have done a lot more work since this photos were taken. I'll post an update soon!
