You’ve survived too much turkey and dressing at Thanksgiving
and now Christmas cheer is in the
Assuming that you’ve been nice, you start to make your Christmas
list. To help your list making, I have
assembled some suggestions that may help make the job easier:
air.
Barclay Watch Company: Being a watch enthusiast, I would love to own
a timepiece from Barclay Watch Company and am saving for the Barclay Freemason
Pocket watch. These are limited
production pieces that combine a sense of elegance and quality
manufacturing.
The Craftsman’s
Apron: I don’t know of a finer creator
of aprons than Brother Patrick Craddock who is the owner of The Craftsman’s
Apron. Patrick’s aprons are of the
highest quality and he can create a custom design for you. He also offers a variety of other Masonic
related items.
Fellow
Crafted: I discovered this site
recently. Brother Brian Evichin creates
hand crafted writing pens from a variety over 150 species of wood and many
other materials. These pens are simply
magnificent.
FraternalTies: Are you looking for custom neckwear? Then you need to visit FraternalTies. These
ties are designed by Brother John Paul Gomez.
But shop early as they sell out quickly and are done in limited edition
quantities. Brother Gomez also offers
Masonic T-shirts and recently a wooden watch.
The Winding
Stairs: Brother Juan Sepulveda is an
artist who features Masonic art pieces, aprons with his fantastic art work and
a number of original works. I am very
impressed with his work that I find to be clear and crisp in its message.
Whence Came You: This is our very own Brother Robert Johnson’s
fantastic podcast site. This is a premier site to learn more masonic
education. Brother Johnson offers a weekly podcast that is free for the
downloading. He also offers some very
fine limited edition pieces that help support the show and has a partnership
with Café press where you can find WCY items for sale.
The Working Tools Magazine: The largest independent Masonic magazine
published in North America. Brother Cory
Sigler is the owner of this monthly publication. The Midnight Freemasons have been featured
writers several times. I find this is an
outstanding publication. You can
subscribe to the magazine either electronically or receive a monthly hard copy.
The Living
Stones: A magazine for Freemasons
published by Brother Robert Herd. The
Living Stones features such authors as Cliff Porter, Tim Hogan and Dr. John
Nagy. I enjoy the high quality graphics
this magazine features. You can
subscribe to receive your copy either electronically or a hardcopy.
These are just a few of the places you can put on your
Christmas wish list. What is your
favorite site for Masonic related items?
Please add it in the comments section.
Best wishes on filling your list and Merry Christmas.
