Let me start out by
telling you that we are farmers, mainly.
We operate Kobweb Korner, a unique little shop
located along the Eel
River in rural
Clay
County, Indiana, as a sideline. Most of the time,
we’re out working in the fields so we have to open our
little shop when we know you’re coming and we’re not
working 20 hours a day trying to make a living.
That’s why we put up this website, so you can
shop with us and buy
Willow
Tree Angels (Pat’s favorite) or Rowe Pottery (Jennifer’s
favorite) or Longaberger Baskets (everybody’s favorite)
while we’re working the fields or going to market.
So, give us a call when you are in the area and
we’ll make arrangements for you to stop by.
Our little shop has
a lot to offer.
Everything we sell reflects our interests and
beliefs. Our
shop represents who we are.
First and foremost are the gourds.
We grow all of our own gourds and wash them in a
converted washing machine that Pat and my son Henry
thought up. It had to be converted because it busted up
the gourds when we first tried it. We decorate a few of
the gourds and sell the rest of them raw so you don’t
have to live with my taste in decorated gourds.
I should mention that
Indiana gourds are considered by most people
in Indiana
as the very best gourds anywhere.
We also sell decorations made out of pip berries.
Pip berries can be made to fit almost any decoration
scheme and are frequently used in what is called
primitive decorations.
We don’t think our pip berries are primitive at
all – they’re just beautiful as candle rings, door
wreathes, and other decorative touches.
Pip berries are especially popular at Christmas.
You have to order the pip berries early because
we can’t grow or harvest them in the winter and when we
are out of pip berries, we are out of pip berries. We
have especially good prices on pip berry decorations.
Be sure to check our pip berries out.
I mentioned Willow Tree Angels.
Everybody deserves an angel of their very own.
If you are thinking of sending a gift to a
friend, send a
Willow
Tree Angel, figurine, or ornament.
I especially enjoy giving
Willow
Tree Angels to our kids and grandkids as reminders that
they are very special to us.
Our kids and grandkids will have our
Willow Tree Angels with them for
a lifetime – a very real reminder of the love that we
have for each of them.
We also carry Willow Tree nativity sets
and other stuff that I can’t think of right now.
We sell another
brand of primitive decoration items, Rowe Pottery.
Rowe Pottery is a salt glaze pottery made in
Cambridge, WI. Rowe was formed in 1975 and is still in
production today. All Rowe pieces are stamped with the
Rowe Pottery Stamp and dated with the year Rowe made
them. All Rowe items that I have on my website now were
made prior to 2009 except this year’s Rowe’s Historical
Items. I have indicated the date stamped on each item
for your information and I have only one of each item
unless indicated otherwise in the item description. All
Rowe items are handmade. No two Rowe Pottery items are
exactly alike.
Longaberger Baskets
is the company that has a main office building that
looks like a huge picnic basket.
Longaberger baskets make a beautiful gift or a
nice touch to your own picnic decorations.
Longaberger is a lot like us – family owned and
people oriented.
Kobweb Korner
finishes off its on-line collection with some items to
finish off your decorating ideas.
We have towels in several sizes and patterns to
compliment your pip berry and Rowe pottery pieces.
Every kitchen needs at least one of the cookbooks
we have – I especially like the holiday season
cookbooks.
We have DeKalb caps because we are a DeKalb seed tester
and distributor.
In the winter, Pat and some friends build a
little bit of this and that – we love the marble game –
a nice way to get together and chat while playing a
challenging game.
That’s about all I
can think of to describe Kobweb Korner and the lines we
carry. If
you don’t find something you are interested in today, be
sure to stop by again. Always feel free to contact us
with any questions or comments.
