Tried and true Hammertown Classic.

We’ve been selling them for over 15 years.  The perfect hostess gift for the holidays or a well-deserved gift for yourself.

Honeypot Luminaries are made in America entirely by hand out of unstrained, raw beeswax.  Each one is signed and no two are exactly the same.  Every honeypot comes with a beeswax tea light in a tea light cup.

These Mini Honeypots are approximately 3″ tall by 3.5″ wide and are priced at $20 each.

Choose from 7 different designs but hurry…they’re flying out of the store!

You can come in and purchase them or you can call (518.398.7075) or email joan@hammertown and we can ship them out for you.

And don’t forget…any “Joan’s Pick of the Week” order placed by emailing or calling me will get free shipping if the order is over $40.00.

Molly Renfroe Katz, Producing Director of Half Moon Theatre in Poughkeepsie, and a loyal and wonderful Hammertown customer, emailed me to let me know about the current production at her theater.

Their newest play, Three Viewings, is written by Jeffry hatcher, who wrote the screenplay for The Duchess with Keira Knightley (Carolyn Blackwood, local Rhinebeck customer was the Producer), among many other plays/screenplays. This was the play that inspired critically acclaimed HBO series, “Six Feet Under.”

A delightfully original dark comedy, Three Viewings reveals the secret lives of 3 characters at a small, Midwestern funeral parlor.  Each tale is recounted separately but skillfully woven together to surprise the audience with revelations about the characters’ relationships with the deceased and each other.

The actors are all local professionals. It stars Geoff Tarson, a hilarious actor and comedic writer, who’s just moved to the Hudson Valley from Hollywood. Geoff is a veteran improv comic who’s worked most recently with Wayne Brady, and he’s written for hit shows such as “Suddenly Susan” and Disney Channel’s “That’s So Raven.” Half Moon Company favorite Stefanie Salzmann co-stars along with Rhinebeck’s beloved Barbara Rankin.  Directed by Bill Salzmann with Set Design and Costumes by Megan Ingalls.
