This antique Jenny Lind trunk, made of pine wood, with brass rivets and leather handles, will make a beautiful, historic addition to your home decor.

Jenny Lind trunks are some of the rarest and most sought-after trunks due to their beauty, history and association with the "Swedish Nightingale." Jenny Lind (1820-1887) was the most popular singer of the 1800s. Furniture, trunks, and many household items as well as buildings and even towns were named for her. Jenny Lind trunks date back to the 1850s and 1860s. These trunks are distinguishable by their "keyhole," "loaf of bread," and "hourglass" shapes (looking from the ends).

Longtime MNHC supporter Don Stierle is a person of many talents, from biochemistry to birding to pottery. Every year he donates one of his beautiful clay creations, and every year we are amazed at the piece he's so lovingly crafted. This year's pot is glazed a lovely pale green above with coppery hints beneath. We imagine it would look wonderful displaying dried grasses and flowers.

Dimensions: 7.5" tall, 7.5" wide at the widest point, 5.5" mouth.

This beautiful peony flower acrylic painting on canvas by local artist Randy Zielinski weaves together naturalism and surrealism. Bold brushstrokes and colors make this a vivid focal point for any room. Perfect for lovers of flowers, art, and nature!

This March, enjoy two tickets to the fabulous performance of "Steel Magnolias" at the Missoula Children's Theater!

Steel = strength and Magnolias = dignity. What fitting descriptors for the women of Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana-the true Steel Magnolias of the 1980s. Weekly visits to Truvy's Beauty Salon provide a place to share their lives, loves ("If he's trying to drive me crazy, it's too late"), town gossip, and concerns for the health of M'Lynn's daughter Shelby, a diabetic. Playwright Robert Harling wrote the story in 1987 as a loving tribute to his sister, Susan, who died from type 1 diabetes.

The 1989 motion picture of the same name received numerous nominations and awards that delivered the comedy, the tragedy, and the testament to the shared bonds of female friendship. It's so full of big hearts, bigger hair, and razor-sharp Southern wit ("The nicest thing I can say about her is that her tattoos are spelled correctly"), you'll want to schedule your next hair appointment and reserve your tickets right away!

Performances are March 5-7 and 11-14, 2027.

This piece, crafted by Missoula artist Rich Adams, is a trompe l'oeil (pronounced "tromp loy"), which is a French term meaning "to fool the eye." The background boards, binoculars, and chickadee were drawn in charcoal pencil. The label and pamphlet were drawn in permanent ink, and the journal pages were drawn in graphite. The bird-related quotes on the journal page are from famous naturalists. The name on the binoculars is a tribute to the naturalist Aldo Leopold.

8" x 10" print in an 11" x 14" frame.

About Rich:

My artwork is really a reflection of my love for the natural world. I like to say that my drawings are my love letters to Montana. I really can't imagine a better place to live and raise a family. If my work can connect with other people's experiences and love of the natural world, I feel like it has served its function.

I produce all of my own fine art prints and inspect each one to ensure it is of the highest quality I can produce. They are made with U.S. made, acid-free fine art paper and pigment-based inks to ensure they will last a lifetime when hung on the wall.

After sunset we will turn on the lights at a "light sheet" set-up to attract and observe the local moth fauna.

This striking stoneware pottery vase was crafted by renowned artist Raymond Gallucci, and will add style, elegance, and distinction to any room!

Raymond E. Gallucci (1923-2005) was an American studio artist renowned for his contributions to mid-20th-century ceramics and mosaic art. His work primarily encompassed functional pottery and large-scale mosaic installations. In 1980, he received the Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts. His pieces are included in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the personal collection of author James Michener.

Gallucci's artistic style is characterized by modernist forms, textured glazes, and abstract compositions. His notable works include mosaic wall plaques like "Mosaic Forms" and various stoneware vases from the 1960s. His artworks have been featured in exhibitions such as the 2002 "Ceramic Masterworks" at Moderne Gallery in Philadelphia.

"Hello Kitty" was taken by local photographer Brian Christianson several years ago. He and a friend were photographing an adult lynx from a great distance, when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed slight movement. ~20 feet away, this lynx kitten was poking his head through the small lodgepoles. It was a truly magical moment - captured here on a 26W" x 32H" canvas print, which gives an almost three-dimensional quality to the cat's face and enhances the texture of the fur. The print is mounted in a black float frame for that perfect finishing touch.

The flash of red. The yellow eye. The stillness of this moment, perfectly captured. We, too, are caught as we gaze at this Sandhill Crane, almost hidden amongst the foliage in this stunning image by Missoula photographer Ursula "Uschi" Carpenter.

After initially practicing the Zen of landscape photography, Uschi's passion for photographing birds has transformed her into a seeker of magic, equilibrium, and soul in those feathered relatives we call "birds." She hopes that once people appreciate the beauty of birds, they will care about protecting them for our common future.

With an 8" x 10" photograph matted in a 17" x 21" beautiful light wood frame, Uschi's thoughtful "A Close Encounter" is a beautiful and riveting piece of local photography waiting for its forever home.

This gorgeous original watercolor was painted by naturalist and botanist (and MNHC board member) Kathy Settevendemie.

Kathy says, "Wild or streambank hollyhock is always a surprise when I see it in the wild. Delicate pink flowers on 4-5' stalks gently sway in the breeze, covered with tiny bees working diligently. Found in sunny spots along streams, this is one of my favorite native plants, and one that I love to see bloom in my garden."

Plus, you also get a packet of wild hollyhock seeds so you can plant your own!

Framed art is 16" x 20".

Bring the wild and the feathered into your home with this gorgeous print of Montana birds, painted by Missoula artist Rich Adams.

"I chose watercolor to complement the graphite pencil underdrawings I made for each of the birds from my finished sketches," he says. "This process allows me to keep my feather and facial details in tact as I add color to the finished pieces."

This beautiful piece is 11"x14" in a 14.5"x17" rustic wooden frame.

About Rich:

My artwork is really a reflection of my love for the natural world. I like to say that my drawings are my love letters to Montana. I really can't imagine a better place to live and raise a family. If my work can connect with other people's experiences and love of the natural world, I feel like it has served its function.

I produce all of my own fine art prints and inspect each one to ensure it is of the highest quality I can produce. They are made with U.S. made, acid-free fine art paper and pigment-based inks to ensure they will last a lifetime when hung on the wall.
