I'm still exploring the edges of the new county in which we find ourselves, and several local folks have suggested I visit "the hobbit house." Turns out there are at least two places in the county that qualify as hobbit houses -- one at a local greenhouse, and one on Bainbridge Island.
Today I went to the Bainbridge hobbit house.
 |
| With seasonally appropriate decor! |
Turns out it's a little business. And a cute little business it is too.
 |
| The legend of founder Perky Paul |
Perky Paul's Gourmet has recently (well, within the last five years) relocated to the Pacific Northwest and is now serving up his home-canned goodness from a cute tiny house just across from his front door.
 |
| It's even cuter on the inside! |
Paul sells jams, pickles, chutneys, sauces, and all sorts of tasty goodies, from teeny trial sizes to full quarts.
 |
| A wizard would never steal, right? |
Everything here is sold on the honor system. THIS MEANS YOU, GANDALF.
 |
| They're so cute |
After perusing all the contents of the shop, I chose a half-dozen little tasting jars and absconded with them (yes, OF COURSE after paying for them). We've already opened up some jam, and tell you what, Perky Paul knows what he's doing! This stuff is fantastic.
