Historic Snohomish ornament available
The fourth in an annual series of historic Snohomish homes painted on ornaments is available.
This year’s “Snohomish Ornament” pictures the Hensel House at 422 Ave. B, and the proceeds from the sale of the ornaments benefit the Snohomish Historical Society. The glass ornaments are hand painted in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and shipped by mail, with each bulb nestled in its own handmade mini-crate.
They cost $25 and may be purchased at Kusler’s at 700 Ave. D in Snohomish.
