Rick has some new plaques in the shop, featuring American Heroes, Thanksgiving Day, Halloween Images and more. All of his plaques are hand-cut with a scroll saw and sanded to a clear natural finish. Most are or can be by request backed with 100% cotton fabric that acts like stained glass when lit from behind, as in a window pane.

Visit his webstore at www.woodentoyandgift.net to purchase these beautiful gifts, or stop in to see his new display space at the shop.

We are open from 11 to 7 most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 59 North Street in Georgetown, Massachusetts ("Just two doors north of Perley School." See you soon?

Baltic Birch Plywood Plaques for Needleworkers

Rick Palardy has been making plaques for American Heroes, but is also making decorative plaques for those who enjoy the needle arts of quilting and knitting. Using the elegant scroll patterns of Sue Mey, Rick patiently sits at the scroll saw to hand guide the smallest of blades through the delicate 1/8" laminated plywood made of high quality Baltic Birch wood.

To preserve the pale beauty of this wood, he then coats each piece with three layers of clear polyurethane, allowing the beauty of the wood to shine through the spray which protecting it from curious fingerprints and the sun damage that would otherwise occur in those displayed on windowsills.

Rick backs each plaque with quilt-quality 100% cotton fabric in bright solid colors. Each plaque comes with a a flat, adhesive plastic hook that allows it to be hung in a window. But for those who want to display the plaque on a small table or  shelf, a folding stand is also available, also hand cut from Baltic Birch.


The plaques come in two sizes; small (3.75" x 5.25"), and medium (5.75" x 8" .)  The small plaques sell at retail for $15.00; the medium size sells for $20.00.

The stand, when open, measures 6" x 4.75" and sells separately for $5.00.

 Rick backs the plaques with the primary colors of red, yellow and blue, and the secondary color green. Different color backings can be special ordered; your own samples of fabric can also be used upon request. For special orders using your own fabric sample, please mail or bring  the fabric to Wooden Toy and Gift, 59 North Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833.

These plaques can be seen and purchased at Quilters' Quarters and Wooden Toy and Gift in Georgetown, Massachusetts. They also can be ordered online at woodentoyandgift.net (see website for shipping costs.) You might also find them in other small quilt shops that are making them available on consignment for Rick.

Plaques Honoring American Heroes

For those injured in battle

This is a new division of Rick's Wooden Toy and Gift business; a place where you can find gifts for those special heroes in your life, and in the lives of your family, friends and neighbors, as well as co-workers and retirees.

The goal is to broaden public recognition of the folks who protect all of us, whether they be military, police, firefighters, first responders, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, doctors, teachers, or simply Dads and Moms.

It's important in today's world to remember that we are both protected and served by many people in our world, and it's important to thank them as often as we can. A handshake offered in thanks is a warm way to recognize their service, their bravery, their courage, stamina and integrity. Without them, each of us would be less sure of ourselves.

For a Firefighter Family

And for our Police Officers

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Mr. Rogers himself was a helper to so many youngsters, stepping in to fill the shoes of wise, kind adults who helped him in his youth.

Made for a friend's grandson, newly entered.

Visit the webstore and look for the new category of gifts being offered: they are delicately scrolled works of art that are made with care, appreciation and dedication to our heroes, whomever they may be. Think of those to whom you feel you owe a gift of gratitude, a measure of respect, and or an appreciation of protection and shared strength.

 If you don't see what you're looking for, let us know. Rick uses his own creativity for some work, and also uses patterns created by the scroll saw designer, Sue May. His work, and her ideas, are all products made in the U.S.A.

Made in honor of our nephew Stephen, KIA 2008, Afghanistan

Be proud of your heroes. Let them know of your respect for them. Drop by the shop to talk with Rick about what you'd like to see for your heroes.  Call him ~(978-352-2676) ~ or drop him a note in an email ~(woodentoyandgift@comcast.net.)  Don't let this opportunity slip by. Heroes don't, and we won't, either.
