Ricka and Ginna sell their homemade (and beautiful) cedar furniture at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market throughout the summer months. I bought two Adirondack chairs, a loveseat, a coffee table *and* a side table this weekend for less than any one of these items would have cost from LLBean.
Ginna and her young daughter delivered the furniture to my house in Port Townsend and set it up on the back porch within an hour of my purchase. By nightfall, I was sipping a glass of wine with neighbors and watching twilight descend upon Puget Sound. I did mention that the delivers service was absolutely free, didn't I?
That's the good news. The bad news is that this is the last Fall weekend that they will be at the Farmer's Market. You can still call them and order a delivery to your home, however. And they *will* be back at the market when the weather warms up next year.
The furniture is handmade, nicely sanded and (so I'm told) weathers well. If you want it stained or painted, you should plan on a weekend project. As for our house, it will be staying uncoated.

And speaking of "uncoated", stay tuned for a review of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. This weekend is absolutely perfect for the 200 boat festival, no jackets required! read more
