The Icehouse

 
There's a new business in Baker this summer, the Icehouse. It's behind the Silver Jack in downtown Baker and is home to local arts, crafts and antiques.

  
The Icehouse is an old building and a great venue for showing off some of the local talent.

Jody Person runs it and has a smile for every customer.

Items range from artwork, rope baskets, sage wreathes, jewelry, and old bottles.

The eye-catching colors of this spread greet the customer immediately upon entering the building. Jody has over wares from over 30 people in the Icehouse.

The swords are a fairly new addition and are getting a lot of attention!

The bamboo squares can be used as wall hangings or table tops.

A variety of rocks occupy one table.

Homemade jams and jellies, salsas, and pickled beans occupy another.

I always have to walk around the small store a few times to see everything. The bags are made by a sewing machine operated by solar power.

A display of giraffes and other intriguing metalwork caught my eye. The sales help African women.

This is a great place to get wedding, birthday, and other gifts. Plus it helps support our neighbors. Be sure to check it out soon!
