Once again, OTBP will be closed for the month of April. We will be around most days to get some work done that is difficult to do while folks are coming into the shop — mostly cleaning out and reorganizing (hopefully including the garage!), touching up paints, working in the garden, etc. If you need something with which we can help, please just holler. Hopefully we also will be able to get away for a few days of R&R. Enjoy a blessed April, and we will hope to see you in May or a bit later this summer! 💪🏾❤️⛰️

Yes, we still are alive and open for business! We apologize for not keeping in touch with our faithful Instagram and Facebook followers, but life got crazy busy at the end of last summer, and stayed that way for several months. We wanted to share that OTBP will be closed for several days in the next couple of weeks. Then we will be closed during the entire month of April to get some work done and take a few days off, as well.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 17) we will be closed due to an area-wide power outage. During the offseason, we are closed on Wednesdays. Friday and Saturday (March 20-21), OTBP will be closed for the Bataan Memorial Death March. Next Thursday (March 26) we will be closed to attend a dear friend’s memorial in Las Cruces. So we will not be around for several days in March, as well as April. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause our customers.❤️

📆❤️ Wow, 2026 already!?!😳😆 Start your new year off right – with a fun and entertaining calendar!🤩 Kai Skye's (formerly Brian Andreas) famous calendars just arrived! For 2026, Kai continued with his Classic style (featuring his bright, dancing figures), and once again the calendars are bound with spiral wire and easy to hang. Kai's calendars are full of fun and colorful art, and his always inspiring wit and wisdom. Once again, Kai includes made-up holidays and other reasons to celebrate the joys hidden in the moments of everyday life. Measuring 9" x 14", these calendars are 100% planet-friendly, using nontoxic inks and recycled acid-free paper — almost everything is biodegradable!

The cost of Kai's calendars did increase slightly to $22.50 each. Stop by OTBP today and grab your calendar(s) for you and gifts for your loved ones. Or we will be happy to mail you calendars for yourself and your loved ones.📆🎁 You will be glad you did as you enjoy Kai's art and stories all year long.❤️📆😍

For you camping or glamping fans …
😳VERY FEW LEFT!!!😵‍💫
🚐These cute rusted recycled steel camper magnets and ornaments are the LAST ones we will have! The magnets and ornaments both measure 2.5” x 4.5”. Magnets cost $7.50 each, and ornaments cost $6.50 each. Hang them from a tree or mirror, attach them wherever magnets will stick. These rusted steel pieces are fun additions to one's household, go with any kind of decor, and they make great inexpensive gifts. There are only 6 magnets and 14 ornaments, so grab yours SOON before they are GONE!😄🚐❤️

Folks from the Austin area, we are in need of a transport from Cloudcroft to Pflugerville. We certainly will try and make it worth your while. It is a fairly smallish package, except for one long slim metal part. We would prefer to not make this nice couple of our auction winners pay big bucks to mail this really long package. (The cat that is barely visible in this photo will NOT be part of the transport!🙀📦😹) Please let us know if you or someone you know might be able to help us out. Thank you in advance!😻🚙❤️

Over Memorial Day weekend, these two kind and thoughtful boys did something really special for our kitties. Nolan Felix and Ellis Alcorn decided to set up a lemonade stand for two days, and made lots of $$ for 1CaT (1 Cat at a Time), our mountain-area nonprofit feral cat TNR/rescue program. We know their kind moms Amy and Nicole are very proud of their young sons. THANK YOU, ELLIS & NOLAN!!! We appreciate your dedication and hard work and your support of 1CaT!😻❤️😻

🚗We need an auction item transported to Las Cruces from Cloudcroft. If you happen to know anyone who is traveling that direction today (Wednesday), Thursday or early Friday, please let us know. We will provide a small stipend to make it worth their while to transport it for us! Thank you in advance!🚙😻🚗
