UP Rustics

So I follow a lot of people on Facebook, as I am sure a lot of you do. Maybe some of you are not on Facebook at all. What a nice life you must have, not having the pressured burden of scrolling and tapping and reading to see what you missed that day. How peaceful that would be. Anyhow, Since I have moved up here, I am on a few Yooper pages. I love seeing the beautiful pictures posted, hearing about local traditions and events and just all things Yooper. So one of the pages I came across was called UP Rustics. They make furniture and other things from wood and rocks and it is absolutely GORGEOUS! I am posting pictures here for you to see below... Anyhow, I messaged him about a project I wanted made for my better half, as a fathers day gift from his son. We talked and he agreed and started working on the project. Being from so far away (he is down past the bridge), I was excited to see that he was up here at Art on the Rocks last weekend and was able to bring this item to me! I could not wait to see it!

I am glad I don't have a lot of money. I don't need a lot of money. I have everything I need to survive - food, clothing, shelter, and love. Having more never hurts. I would love to contribute more to my household, that always bothers me that I can't. Of course, always seem to find a way to put my hair appointment with Neils in the way of that too. Hey, it's hair. I can't just let it go looking like crap all of the time, come on people :-) Back to the story! So I went to Marquette and found their tent at Art on the Rocks, all of the while thinking to myself, I am SO glad I don't have money. I would have gone home with a couple of birdfeeders, some very nice prints, and possibly a sign or a table and a clock or something or other. The talent in that place was exploding!

I found the tent, introduced myself, got my item purchased (a gun rack for Asa's dad). LOVED IT! It was beautiful! Asa was very happy with it when I showed it to him. As of the time of writing this, his dad has not seen it yet hung up, so that will be later tonight!

So check out UP Rustics, their work is really really amazing and it gives you the feel of the UP and of Michigan - the rocks inside the stuff, it is just beautiful. I am a rock lover what can I say.

They do Lake Superior Rock Frames and mirrors, Rustic and log cabin decor, custom and specialty chalkboards, and so much more...
