Hand-wrought iron work, hats, jewelry, western wear, and gifts
The Wonderstruck essays have been predicated on a profound belief that life is not entirely random... and that the intention of the universal and infinite works itself out through the interactions that we have with one another and all the world around us.
Hence my belief that serendipity brought me to the Methow. When people ask how I came to live in this valley, the short answer is: God picked me up by the scruff of the neck and plopped me here.
The longer, if still incomplete, answer is: Wonderstruck, the collection of essays which explains my journey of grief and healing from a philosophical and metaphysical point of view.
The collection of essays you now hold, however, is specifically about some of the people, places, and experience of the Methow which fill me with awe and wonder. And I really do believe the universe guided many of the interactions here recorded.

A couple of decades ago, blacksmith Shawn Johnston collaborated with veteran smithy D.J. Stull to establish Winthrop Iron Works within the walls of Western Image in the Farmers Exchange Building on Winthrop's main street. Not too many years after, the Iron Horse brand emerged. D.J. has since retired and Shawn has passed away, but Carlton blacksmith Dan Russell carries on the tradition for us.
In 2023, we celebrated 15 years of bringing hand-forged iron and top-quality brands like Stetson, Wrangler, Outback Trading Company, Tilley, and Minnetonka Mocassins to the Methow.
