Community Linkage

I received this comment recently and thought it was interesting. “As most pagans or wiccans know going to festivals or events walking sticks can be wonderful and the designs of handmade products well…are just not for everyone. Our company designed canes that serve function and still let everyone know they are individual. We have done many photo memory canes for people of Pagan faith including photos of their events, mentors and travels. Our site can be viewed at www.bfunkymobility.com. enjoy!”
