Some silver that I poured into an ingot mold then rolled out with my rolling mill. Bottom right picture is what it's going to become. Custom order. Custom orders are available. Come on into the co-op. I form my own metal and go from there. Charlotte does the glass work.

Our parking lot as you can see has been cleared. About 5 inches of snow in Malmo today. The roads are plowed but not good. Everybody stay safe but we are open. Sure is pretty. Maybe not the plow truck but I kind of like the snow. If you have a snowmobile I think you should stop in and have some coffee tea, or hot chocolate. Cookies or cinnamon rolls.
