China Woods is one of Google's Favorite Places!

China Woods is one of Google's Favorite Places. From Google: 'Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. The list was determined based on the popularity of a business' Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users "decided" based on their actions, and we sent the decals.' Apparently, a properly equipped phone can scan the bar code on the decal we received, and bring up Google's listing for our business.

Here's our Christmas tree. We found this wonderful piece at one of the Tibetan stores in Chengdu.

Our new container finally arrived yesterday, following a overly long stay with United States Customs in Seattle. Here are a few pics of the truck's arrival, and the unloading of the container. It takes four strong young people, and several older supervisors, about two hours to unload a standard 40-foot container.

International Choral Festival

China Woods is a sponsor of the International Choral Festival in Missoula on July 15-18. Many wonderful choirs are coming, and we hope everyone will partake.

Lantern on high

Photos of a lantern from Indonesia on top of a dome house in Missoula. The contractor on the project was our friend, Morgan Suter. Morgan was kind enough to allow us to photograph his gorgeous tattoos for a recent ad campaign. You can see those pictures on our website.

These are lights in our kitchen and living room. They were originally sinks. We converted them into these marvelous lights with the help of our friend, Lynn Redding.

Flags

We have a new shipment of prayer flags from Indonesia. They're available in a plethora of colors, and in five and seven meter lengths. For those who are metrically challenged, that is about 16.5 and 23 feet, respectively. Shown are the seven meter flags.

Here's a brief video of the flags blowing in the wind.

Stupa In Winter

This is a picture taken by one of our clients. The piece is from Java, and is made of lava rock.

We're opening the warehouse after taking January off. Our regular hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11-5 pm.

Here's two bathroom remodel photos. Sinks are Indonesian copper, while the cabinets are antique Chinese.

Happy New Year

Hiking with Dogs

We hiked up the south side of Mount Jumbo this morning with our two wire fox terriers, Spot and Splash. The view is looking east over the Clark Fork and Hellgate Canyon. There's an air inversion today, so it's kind of smoggy.
