We are the team of DSCOLLECT; Richard Thurow & Sharon Francis. Our friends know us as Dick and Sheri. Dick is the woodcrafter. If it can be imagined he can probably build it for you. Sheri is the decorative painter, painting everything from lighthouses to roses. She especially loves painting white backgrounds with pink roses in the Shabby Chic style on birdhouses and butterfly houses. Most of the items that we create for the home and garden are both decorative, and useful.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yes we have thumb twiddlers...and more.

Knoxville, TN-January 18, 2004

For the person who has everything and time on their hands, there’s thumb twiddlers. What is this monstrosity you ask? Anyone who has traveled the south on vacation has encountered thumb twiddlers as well as round to its, as in get around to it. But that is for another time.

Craftsontheporch.com is a new Internet site that offers unique handcrafted country crafts and gifts, such as thumb twiddlers, round to its, handcrafted and hand painted wood birdhouses, bird feeders, butterfly houses and ladybug houses that aren't easily found in stores. For the home there are jelly cupboards and primitive cabinets. Also smaller items for the home such as potato onion bins, breadboxes, quilt racks, shelves, chests, and footstools to name a few.

Crafts on the porch by D & S Crafts came about from a collaboration of woodworking and decorative painting by Dick Thurow and Sheri Francis. After making and selling their handcrafted items for years in a craft mall, at craft shows and on Internet auctions, the partners decided to branch out into the expanse of the Internet to make their unique handcrafted items available to a larger audience.

Dick primarily does the woodworking with Sheri helping out when an extra set of hands is needed. Sheri does the decorative painting on wood or glass. The pair hoped to one-day turn their hobby into a real business and Crafts on the Porch is the result of that dream.

On craftsontheporch.com, web surfers can view the many unique items for sale. Each one made by hand with American made products as much as possible in East Tennessee. Items are truly one of a kind because the artists design their own plans and sometimes make changes so that no two items are ever exactly alike. In fact, Dick has been commissioned for several custom projects ranging from oak bookcases to a picket fence room divider.

Payments are currently accepted on the site through Pay pal. Also money orders or checks can be mailed. Soon they plan to get set up for credit card processing on the site. Craftsontheporch.com is updated regularly with news of special sales and new product arrivals.
