4Creature Comforts is the online home of Creature Comforts, our Washington business established in 1980.

 

Journey to the rural magic of Hansville, Washington, just 20 minutes from the Kingston Ferry…and expect the unexpected!

A now-famous fence borders the entrance to Owl's Peak. I designed these animal-headed posts and had them carved in Monkeypod wood in 1989 in Thailand.

​

This is just the introduction to the unique collection of architectural statements for both the interior and the garden you will find when you arrive at The "Barn" at Owl's Peak. There is so much to see!

​

You are greeted with the sculpture garden under the Thai-style arbor. The first impression when you enter The "Barn" is often one of astonishment. You will need ample time to browse this unique collection from around the world leisurely. We are always ready with the creation stories of these fine goods.

​

Upstairs is an explosion of color and texture with a wide array of clothing, accessories, tapestries, pillows, and bedspreads. Visitors have described this as "like entering a rainbow".

​

Then, if you have time, we invite you to the Big Room in our home on the premises to view larger pieces of art and furniture.  Here you enter a museum atmosphere through ancient hand-carved doors from India.

I started importing goods from Thailand, Nepal, India, Indonesia, Panama & Mexico in 1985. This has been the most rewarding journey. I have been a Fair Trade business from the start. It has always been my passion to work directly with the craftspeople in these countries to preserve  & support their Arts & Way of Life.

​

For decades, I've taken enormous pleasure in discovering unusual, beautifully made treasures and sharing them with others. I've often said that I feel like a matchmaker, connecting people to the spirit of an item. I believe there is spirit in all matter, and every treasure has something special to offer. There's a wonderful satisfaction in finding just the right person who feels that connection, too.

​

Whether at an art show, in my barn showroom, or through an online order, I've always believed shopping should be a personal and enjoyable experience. I select my merchandise for its quality, craftsmanship, and individuality, and I treat every customer with the same care and enthusiasm I would offer a friend.

​

Over the years, I also designed an extensive collection of hand-carved wooden sculptures and unusual teak furniture, working directly with talented craftspeople to bring my ideas to life. Although those pieces have long since found new homes, they remain a wonderful part of the history of 4Creature Comforts.

​

​My Life Partner, Nick Reeves, has joined me in this venture in recent years.  He is an asset to me & 4Creature Comforts in every way.

Namaste,
