Valentine's is Around the Corner

Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. Are you ready? I put together a few gift ideas that might get you started down the path of love…

 How about a beautiful box of our incredible handmade truffles, but with a twist. Leave one spot open for a little something special like these sparkly earrings. The whole thing, earrings and all, is under $50!

Is your lady special enough to merit goddess status? Then why not remind her of that every day with the "Goddess" block print by local artist Judy Siebenaler? These are beautifully framed mixed media block prints. Every time that special someone looks at it she'll think of you.

Want to try simple and elegant? Check out the local antique and thrift stores for a pretty little crystal glass. Put one of our fabulous truffles in it and tie a bow on it. If you REALLY want to impress, you might tie a pretty little ring or some earrings onto that bow.

If none of these ideas float your boat, then just come in and we'll talk. I bet we can come up with something. Remember, we're Mountain Monster, so your friends won't believe you when you tell them what you saw!

Fun New Magnets

I just returned from market. While most things ship…and some won't be here for 8 weeks, I was able to carry just a few things home.

I'm excited about all of the new and INCREDIBLE things that I found. How about an iPad cover hand made in the USA from vintage military canvas? Yep…when I look for unique, I mean UNIQUE. (I'll post those pictures as soon as I get them.) Meanwhile, I can post a few pictures of some of the things I unpacked today...

I loved these rustic little magnets. They're different, colorful and useful. I'm waiting for the handmade tin hearts that they can attach to (that makes a really cute message board), but hey, if you want to stick one on the fridge they'll work for that, too!

Then there are these vintage magnets. They are hand made by a lady who has a funky vintage shop in Arizona. She uses recycled glass and images reproduced from actual vintage pieces. The whole thing is then wrapped in copper tape. What fun!

Junkyard Deer

No, we didn't run over a trash can and decide to mount it (though that was pretty funny when someone suggested it…) These are our Junkyard Deer. No animals were harmed in the mounting of these heads. Picture one in your cabin and the smiles it will bring!

Check them out at Mountain Monster…your friends won't believe you when you tell them what you saw!

Tooled Leather Journals

Keep track of the new year in a beautiful tooled leather journal. We have large and small sizes available…and some very unique leather designs. When is the last time you saw Aspen leaves in leather? These are made in the USA by an artist in Texas. Check them out at Mountain Monster…your friends won't believe you when you tell them what you saw!

Incredible Hand Forged Iron and Copper

We have been waiting for months for this furniture to come in. Let me tell you…it is AWESOME! We're talking hand forged iron and recycled copper that is melted in a wood fire, rolled into a sheet and hammered by hand. The wood firing process gives it an incredibly beautiful and unique patina.

If you are looking for some beautiful pieces for your home or cabin, come on over to Mountain Monster! Your friends won't believe you when you tell them what you saw!

Mountain Monster and Yeti Coolers

I think we were destined to be together…you know, Mountain Monster and Yeti coolers. Anyway, we are the only authorized dealer for Yeti within probably 50 miles and have quite an assortment for you to choose from.

Lest you doubt the durability of a Yeti, check out this video!
