Western Heritage - Thursday, May 26, 2011
This past weekend marked the opening of The Mine House Collection on Main Street in Jerome.  The store is a conglomeration of Tim McCune of Western Heritage Furniture and Dean Bubolo of Escalante Imports (escalanteimports.com). 

The Mine House Collection... Sign to Debut Soon...


Peeking in the front door...


The Signature Credenza looks pretty good...


Last weekend was also the Jerome Home Tour, the longest running home tour in Arizona.  As the town is a National Historic Landmark, this event is a major draw for people to come up the mountain and get an inside peek at some beautiful old homes.  To help draw in the crowds, Christine and myself dressed as ladies of ill-repute.  We were tax collectors.

Zoe thought we were princesses.  She was right.

It was a great day for all.  Good people, a beautiful store, and red party cups.  (We classed it up for the toast shot, thanks to Paul and Jerry's)

Western Heritage - Wednesday, May 18, 2011
There is rarely a dull moment up here in the tiny town of Jerome.  As a "newcomer" to this town, I can say that the place full of characters, tall tales, and small town adventure. 

Someone once described it as a cross between "Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure, and the X-Files".  After an exciting afternoon a few weeks ago, I think that we should add Rapunzel to that list. 

To give a little background to those who have never had the pleasure of visiting our factory/showroom in Jerome, we are based in the old high school auditorium.  The furniture is made in the gymnasium, and our showroom is in the old coach's offices on the second floor.

We had the pleasure of working with designer extraordinaire Cathe Dyer that afternoon, as well as having the company of Tim McCune's four year old daughter, Zoe.  

We were all being well entertained by Zoe's killer tap moves, when the little dancer excused herself to use the restroom.  Thinking nothing of it and continuing our discussion on custom furniture, we began to hear shouts from the hallway.   I went to check on the situation, to discover that she was locked inside the restroom.  We all took turns trying explain to her how to move the slider to unlock the door to no avail.   
That is when Papa Tim jumped into action, commandeering Jim to drive a Western Heritage delivery vehicle underneath the bathroom window. 
Of course Cathe, Christine (our Customer Service Manager), and myself were beyond entertained and took many, many photos of the debacle.   

Please contact Christine in Customer Service for any quotes regarding kittens in trees, children in wells, or horrible first date rescue services.
