This style attaches to a window to enjoy the nesting birds. 

This side of the birdhouse attached to the window faces out. 

Two styles of Country Baskets

45.5″ Tall Solid Cherry Candle Stand

This may not be for everyone … but for some, this 45.5” tall solid cherry candle stand is just right by a fireplace or an entry way. The cup at the top holds either artificial flowers (shown) or a battery-operated candle of up to 3” in diameter. There is only one for sale in the Wood Shop. To see more about resident Jack Franklin and what he has created for the Bazaar, visit the Artisans tab.

Wooden Puzzles and Planes, Trucks, Automobiles, & Animals!

Shop for new toys and puzzles in the Wood Shop and in the Creative Arts Shop. The Book & Puzzle Shop and the Flea Market have pre-owned toys and puzzles.  

Wooden Puzzles

These wooden puzzles are created by Ron Diller, son of a resident. Pieces range from 1” to 1/8” thick, 2” to 15” tall, by 2” to 20” long.  Most of them will stand up for ease of display.  Some are framed for travel or can be placed on a coffee table to entertain guests.  Learn more about Ron and his woodworking skills in the Artisans section.   

Wooden Toys

These sturdy vehicles were also crafted by Ron Diller. 

 

This is one of resident Wilbur Zirk’s sturdy pull-toys for preschoolers. He’s making the bunnies in pink and blue. Learn more about Wilbur in the Artisans section.

Holiday Ornaments

The 2023 Holmstad Bazaar Wooden Ornament

Resident Jack Franklin hollows each wooden sphere before adding a hand-turned finial and inserting a battery-operated tea light. The light is on a timer with six hours on and 18 hours off. The battery is replaceable for many years of enjoyment. Find out more about Jack in the Artisans section. 

 

Christmas, decor, gift, ornament.

There are a few of the popular green Sea Urchin Ornaments still available! These are small and would be lovely on a small tree or hung on a wire stand.
