A couple of days ago on a long drive home from sightseeing we noticed a little woodcarving store on the side of the road. 

Today we popped back there with dad ‘aka the woodcarver’ to take a closer look. 

If you are ever in the Monterey (California) area or are looking for something just a little out of the ordinary, take a moment to have a look at Blanchard’s Wood Sculpture, the website is a must to look.  You will delve into the world of Itsyville, a magical place where the wood spirits dwell. 

Steve Blanchard is extremely talented.  I absolutely fell in love with the little house out in front of the store today.  Thank goodness I didn’t find out how much it cost or I may have fainted on the spot. 

One can dream. Right?
