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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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