The 10th annual Nature Mart, on Friday-Saturday, Nov. 18-19, will be open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. both days at the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim.

Proceeds from Nature Mart and the raffle help support the center’s education programs.

Selected items already are on sale in the center’s new “Nature Mart Nook,” where you also can see the custom table donated for the Nature Mart raffle. Using boards salvaged from the old Railroad Bridge decking, craftsman Tom Butler created a one-of-a kind, 45-inch long table that will look stunning behind a sofa or in an entry or hall.

Raffle tickets for the $550-value table are $20 and only 100 will be sold. Tickets are on sale now at the River Center.

The winning ticket will be drawn at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, and the winner need not be present.

“Nature Mart shoppers will find a spectacular array of items, many made from natural and/or repurposed materials again this year,” said co-chair Shirley Anderson, one of the creators of handcrafted gifts. The one-of-a-kind gifts and ornaments range from useful and/or decorative items, such as scarves and purses made from antique silk, to pet toys and treats. The River Center gift shop also is stocked with many gift items.

New to Nature Mart this year will be the option to order a custom wooden sign for your home, also made and donated by Butler, or to purchase a limited number of boards salvaged from the Railroad Bridge — these are collector’s items.

Again this year, shoppers and visitors will be invited to enjoy a free cup of hot cider, as they’re deciding what Nature Mart activity to do next:

• Make a fresh wreath, purchase a pre-made wreath or fresh holiday arrangement, or order a fresh flower holiday centerpiece to be picked up at a later date.

• Have pictures taken with some of the River Center’s special animals. Although the photo service is free, a $5 donation is suggested and all donations are welcome.

• Stock up on handmade suet feeders or nest boxes for their feathered friends, cat toys and mats, or homemade Buddy Biscuits for their dog.

• Sample the tasty treats at the Sweet and Savory Bake Sale or do it all!

The Dungeness River Audubon Center seeks to inspire understanding, enjoyment and stewardship of the Olympic Peninsula’s unique natural and cultural resources with emphasis on birds, rivers, fish and people.
