A VISIT FROM 2 STRANGERS THAT IMMEDIATELY BECAME OUR FRIENDS - LIZ & SAM

Liz (Baton Rouge, La) and Sam (Tulsa, Okla)

stopped by to look at woodcarvings

on their way to the races in Topeka, KS.
Thank You Liz and Sam!

They were wonderful customers and delightful people to have in our home.

 



Liz had been looking at the hiking sticks on the Woodcarving Web Site and she chose both of the ones that she had been looking at to buy.
←
She also chose the Wood Spirit with the leaf.  →

 

And, Liz  purchased the Wood Spirit with the ruins.
← 


Sam walked in the house and he immediately said that the minute he saw the Kansas Wood Spirit with the Sunflower on the blog, he knew that was his.
He was thrilled that we still had it.  
He puchased it for a friend in New Mexico.  →

Eagle Beak

 Speech writer for Santanta

 

       Satanta, the great Kiowa warrior was known as the “Orator of the Plains”.  He had a natural gift for giving great speeches and dealing with his enemies.  Through out Kansas’ history he has been known for his oratories at Medicine Lodge and at Fort Dodge. 

       Although Santanta had a gift for delivering speeches with great style, his genius of putting words together with great power came from his little known friend, Eagle Beak.  Eagle Beak did not have the rugged good looks of Satanta, nor the skill of a warrior that was Satanta’s.  Eagle Beak was the eloquent voice of Satanta that stayed in the background of Kansas Native American lore.

Ol' Flint of the Flint Hills

.
$250.00
.
This here's my friend Ol' Flint.
You kin tell by lookin' at Ol' Flint, he ain't one of thim fancy fellas.
Ol' Flint has had the same winter coat 'n hat for the past sixteen years
and whin he loozes a button 'er a fastner breaks,
he jist makes another 'n out 'n a piece of wood 'r sumthin'.
And he ain't got no hair cut since the nights started gettin' cool
An I don't know as I ever knowed him to shave.
Yissir, Ol' Flint is tough an hardened to the demands made on him.
Jest like a flint stone, and that's wher he got his name.
He's a man you can count on and jest as steady as a rock.
He's not skeered of nothin'.
Even in the early day, when you could hear hungry wolves howlin'
on a cold winter night, it didn't skeer Ol' Flint none.
Now Ol' Flint ain't quite the man he uster be,
you can tell by his wrinkles an the bags under his eyes.
But he's a good helpin' hand and a good man "to ride the river by".

A friend,
Cottonwood Perkins
