PmelsGems

PmelsGems PmelsGems began as a simple hobby between a grandfather and his granddaughter, Pamella, starting with handmade keychains.

What began at a workbench has grown into a passion for creating one-of-a-kind pieces crafted from beautiful, exotic woods.

We have restocked at Living Roots Farm 🪵

Not only do they have new hours, but there is now a maple burl board with a juice groove sitting there waiting to become someone's entire personality.

Thursday & Friday: 11am–6pm
Saturday: 10am–2pm

Go for the farm store. Stay because you're standing there whispering, "wow, look at that grain" while rubbing a cutting board like a weirdo.

No judgment. We'd do the same.

Grandpa picked up Callisto Sourdough Co. on Saturday and honestly this loaf looked so beautiful we all stood around acting like we were in a museum instead of a kitchen.

But eventually the intrusive thoughts won. We threw it on a Pmels board and cut into it like a bunch of carb-fueled savages.

And let me tell you… not only did the entire loaf disappear at alarming speed, but somehow even the leftover crumbs on the wood looked artisanal and emotionally expensive.

Everything looks better on wood. Even your lack of self-control 😂

ALL ABOARD… these beauties are officially leaving Fox Lake and heading to Arkansas 😂🪵

This customer said “yes” to TWO juice groove boards because apparently one containment system for meat juice and cracker crumbs was simply not enough for the lifestyle they are building.

Also headed out? A trivet that doubles as a flight board because we fully support snacks and beverages becoming a coordinated event.

And of course a good old fashioned cutting board that can swing between charcuterie masterpiece and “I just cut up a block of cheese standing over the sink” energy.

Everybody knows wood just hits different. Suddenly people come over and you start saying things like “let me plate this properly” while aggressively placing pickles on handcrafted walnut 😂

Send us a message and up your entertainment game… or come see us at McHenry's Fiesta Days or head over to Living Roots Farm where yes, you can absolutely touch the wood. Honestly everyone does.

🎶 “Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun…” 🎶

While I sit here aggressively romanticizing a danish on a PmelsGems board next to an entire pot of coffee 😂☕🥐🪵

Because apparently all it takes is sunshine, carbs, and handcrafted wood for me to believe I have my life completely together this morning.

Honestly this board made that danish look emotionally important.

Starting Memorial Day weekend, the only way we know how… pulling out ALL the wood 😂🪵

3D bacon board happening, biscuits headed onto a river board, and the kitchen slowly turning into a combination bakery and lumberyard.

But honestly the best part of today was watching my Mom spend time with her best friend of 62 years. Some things really are priceless ❤️

Preparing for Arts & Crafts in the Park during McHenry's Fiesta Days and apparently we are now a full-time juice groove company 😂🪵

At first it was “oh those are nice.” Now it’s “DO YOU HAVE ONE WITH A JUICE GROOVE?!” like people are preparing for the juiciest summer of their lives.

Crumbs? Contained.
Steak juice? Captured.
Watermelon leakage? Controlled.
Emotional support charcuterie? Protected.

Honestly the groove is having its main moment and we’re just here making sawdust about it.

The spoons and kitchen utensils are multiplying again and honestly at this point we may just fully become woodland kitchen goblins.

We’ve got them ready and will be bringing all the wood goodness to Arts & Crafts in the Park on Saturday, July 18th during McHenry's Fiesta Days at Veteran’s Memorial Park.

BUT if waiting until July feels emotionally impossible, hit up Living Roots Farm or message us directly because apparently people keep wanting “just one spoon” and somehow leaving with six.

Apparently, Facebook has decided we need more followers and honestly the algorithm feels a little judgey about it 😂

So, if you enjoy chaos, woodworking, questionable humor, Rum Fest updates, food truck obsession, or watching us aggressively overshare sawdust and community events…

Hit follow before Facebook sends us another emotional support notification 🌴🪵🍹

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for Rum Fest 🌴

You ever wanted to be part of organized tropical chaos? This is your moment. We need help with setup, check-in, cleanup, and honestly just keeping this whole beautiful rum-fueled event moving.

Come volunteer. Meet people. Have fun. Accidentally become emotionally invested in Rum Fest forever.

Please select from the spots available below to sign up for one or more shifts. We'll send you a couple reminders before the event.

Dulce y Salvaje Microbakery clearly woke up and chose absolute dessert artistry for Rum Fest by Promote Fox Lake.

Mini rum cakes. Rum balls. VANILLA AND BUTTER RUM SAUCE.

This is no longer a snack situation. This is a full blown “people standing near the dessert table pretending they’re just looking while going back for thirds” situation.

At this point when Nicole Sutton Photography starts taking pictures we should probably all check our teeth for crumbs first because dignity is not surviving this dessert lineup 🌴🍰😂

Get your tickets now before the rum cake people take them all.

PmelsGems is a volunteer for Promote Fox Lake which means naturally we are here to aggressively remind everyone that Rum Fest is happening Saturday, June 13th 🌴🍹

Now here’s the catch… you actually need tickets and we are NOT kidding when we say there’s only a limited amount left. This is not one of those “tickets available at the door forever” situations.

This is more of a “why am I online crying watching everyone else have fun” situation if you wait too long.

Get your tickets here before regret enters the chat:

ALSO, can we talk about the food truck lineup because ZoD'licious BBQ is rolling in looking amazing thanks to Invictus Vinyl.

AND wait for it… Girl's Got Balls is ALSO going to be there and YES, their truck was ALSO done by Invictus Vinyl. At this point Rum Fest accidentally has a full blown “coolest wrapped food trucks in Illinois” theme happening and honestly, we support it.

June 13th. Be there.
