We make, by hand, in the USA, delightful all occasion gifts for you and the special people in your life. Someone hard to gift on your list?  Here is your answer!   They will astonish the recipient and reflect well on you as the gifter.  (You may be tempted to keep it for yourself!) 

Our wooden Pole People     make you smile!  They are joyous and nostalgic parodies, bringing instant decorations to any event; great for office, patio, hearth or hall decor. 

Our thick wood jigsaw puzzles    combine art with childhood fascination; great as an accent piece or as a toy to entertain young and old alike.  They are thick and do not have to lay flat; they can stand on their edge.  The pieces interlock so it stays intact as you pick it up, with care, of course! 

Our exclusive military items    perfectly commemorate a promotion or retirement. 

Guest Artists features handpainted     works:  stemware, Americana, and somewhere in between.

The Ruffled Grouch makes limited edition, original, hand made decorative accent pieces we are proud to have in our own home or to give as gifts.  Our handmade crafts are meant to astonish and delight; to make you feel good, bring a smile to your face or a great “hah!” from your throat.
