Eldon and Jane began their business when they moved to Bend in 1996. Jane has been tole painting since 1980 and Eldon has always worked wood. He began carving in 1994. Their crafts are varied with one of the most popular items being rustic birdhouses. These creations are made from old cedar fencing with “found” items and cute sayings on them. This year, Eldon will feature owls in all sizes and shapes with some made from old wooden thread spools. As Jane has an interest in painting holiday items, she will feature painted signs that combine carving and painting on Santas. It was their hearts’ desire to move to Bend and build on property they bought in 1965 and thus the name Hearts Desire.
