Oil Bottles . . .

Jake brought us a great selection of oil bottles. We love the new inventory! And, they are a great addition to your summer table.

Jake spends most of his time running his ceramic school in Waynesboro. If you live in his neighborhood and need a creative outlet, take a look at the classes he offers. You won’t be disappointed.
