Hand Knit Sea Life!

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 06:27:00 GMT

Hand-knit anchor, octopus, and jellyfish ornaments! It's 2 months away, but these could
be really fun Christmas tree ornaments, but they're also really cool for all year round
decorating!

Xenia Taler Tiles

Sat, 09 Oct 2010 14:53:00 GMT

Gorgeous handmade tiles from Xenia Taler. In her studio in Canada, Xenia handcrafts the
clay and glazes of these beautiful "school" and flock" of tiles. They all come inset with a
grove in the back for wall mounting or the corks on bottom (and it's ability to withstand
high temperatures) allows you to use to as a trivet - although, it would be a shame to
cover up these stunning designs and colours. They have an amazing Scandinavian feel
to them and look great solo or as a collection.

Matryoshka Stacking Tea Set

Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:59:00 GMT

So cute! Stacking Matryoshka teacup and teapot from Japan. The teapot comes
with a stainless steal sieve for loose tea leaves that fits right at the opening by
the lid. And the two teacups stacks right on top. This tea set is absolutely adorable
perfection! Love the bright red and blue colours. Nine (our big ShopDog) approves.

Yellow Owl Workshop

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 21:22:00 GMT

Simple is always best. These great screenprints of vintage cameras are from San Francisco
design studs Yellow Owl Workshop. Approximately 10 x 13" these are a wonderful collection
of prints.

Pistachio Press

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 21:18:00 GMT

Two amazing letterpress prints from Pistachio Press in. The print on the left is called,
"English Portrait." On right, the prints is called "Time To Go Home For Tea." Both of these
prints are limited edition and are a collaboration between mummysam (Samantha Cotterill)
and Pistachio Press (Rachael Hetzel).

These lovely pieces were printed on bright white 100% cotton paper, which creates a
beautiful impression. All of the inks were hand mixed and each piece was printed by
hand on an antique Vandercook No. 4 letterpress. Each print measures 8"x10", which
is perfect for framing. Only 100 limited edition prints were made of this design.

Compass Keychain

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 21:12:00 GMT

Heavy brass compass and scuba hat keyfobs.

Ship's Porthole Mirror

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:56:00 GMT

So cool. Brass porthole mirrors. Approximately 11" in diameter. These would look so great
on a hallway.

Moby Dick Door Knocker

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:52:00 GMT

Heavy bronze Moby Dick door knocker. Super easy to install, these measure approximately
8" wide x 6" tall.

Glass Piggy Bank

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:24:00 GMT

These photos don't do these piggy banks justice. Made of hand-blown borosilicate glass,
this bank features a coin deposit slot in the top and a removable wooden snout for easy
withdrawal. The larger bank sports a wooden tail and the piglet has a curly glass tail.

Owl Nesting Doll

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:12:00 GMT

The Owl + Nesting Doll = AWESOME. The owls nest inside each other teaching the
fundamentals of size and shape while engaging reasoning skills (larger birds do not fit in
smaller birds), which strengthen problem-solving abilities. Rock and balance to learn
spatial awareness and to fine-tune hand-eye coordination. Strengthen fine motor skills
by separating the birds and putting them back together. These functional features
combined with the beautiful colors and natural wood creates a truly one-of-a-kind,
playfully smart nesting toy!

Porcelain Feathers

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:33:00 GMT

These are absolutely beautiful in person. Four different very detailed porcelain finely
crafted feather sculptures. Individually or as a collection, these are lovely on a coffee table,
just hanging in front of a window, or (when the time comes) decorating your Christmas tree.
They all come with a white satin ribbon so they're easy to handle.

Japanese Craft Ribbon

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:55:00 GMT

Charming Japanese Fabric Ribbon. Each wooden spool has about five and a half feet
of ribbon. Thick linen canvas with sweet prints of humpty dumpty, cats, flowers...

Brain (WE ARE 1976) Stationary

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:38:00 GMT

The first WE ARE 1976 stationary set is here!!! Again, we're in a bit of a creepy mindset
here these days, these two different brain illustrations (different perspective of a dissected
brain and one of the brain attached to the spinal cord) are hand-printed with acetone on
heavy weight card stock. The addressee label on the button tie craft envelope is also hand-
printed. These images were sourced from a salvaged neurology medical book from 1904.
Each set comes with 2 of each design with 4 envelopes.

Tin Tiffin !!!

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:22:00 GMT

Meet pretty, pretty, pretty, and pretty! Just got these beautiful tin three-tiered tiffins in!
You know our love of bento boxes, we thought these were perfect. Each level has it's
own lid (to separate each level and to use as a mini-dish) and the handle securely
holds the tiffins in place. Comes in four cheerful colours and embellished with a floral
design, these tiffins are a great way to carry your snacks, organize your little knick-knacks,
or to just brighten up your coffee table.

In case you don't know what a tiffin is used for, it was originally used in British India for
people to transport a light meal or lunch. The different tiers allows you to bring in a variety
of treats without them getting mixed up or soggy.
