Bill Rowe will serenade us with beautiful music on his seven-string guitar. Casa Ole is donating chips and dips. Soft drinks will be available. And there will be other surprises yet to be announced.

Come by and meet Merlin. Tricia is raffling off a beautiful Franklin Mint figure of Merlin, worth over $500. The Merlin figure is about two feet tall, with pointed hat, velvet cloak, golden staff, crystal ball, and exquisite details.

Tickets for the Merlin art figure raffle will be on sale at Temples Gate and elsewhere from now till the end of the raffle (probably in March—more on Merlin later). So stop by and see this fabulous piece of art.

Ebbie’s fundraiser will be a great party and a wonderful opportunity to help someone in our community who truly needs our help. Ebbie is disabled.

According to her doctors, within the next few weeks or months Ebbie will be confined to a wheelchair. She will need a wheelchair ramp and all the doors in her house will have to be enlarged so a wheelchair can get through them. Her house is old and also needs electrical work and other repairs to make it safe for Ebbie and Tricia to live there.

You can help Ebbie while having a wonderful time with kindred spirits at the fundraiser for Ebbie at Temples Gate.

Even the category tabs at the top of the pages will continue to change. So let us know which categories make sense to you (or not) and what else you would like to see.

Eventually we hope to add an online shopping cart. Meanwhile you can order from the site by calling us during shop hours. Or just drop us an email. I will figure out the shipping charges and get back to you as soon as I can.

Please let us know what you think about the new site. And let us know what additional items you would like to see.

The contents of the shop also change constantly—much faster than we can update the web site. So please note that all photos are examples only. Particular items may be out of stock or  unavailable. In that case we will do let you know ASAP.

We may be able to suggest something new that you will like even better that is not yet shown on the site. We aim to please!

Welcome to Temples Gate. Please stop by often to see what’s new.
