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!

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.

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.

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.

Seems like we've been waiting forever for these! O-NO Sushi is finally here! From Andrew
Bell, who is also responsible for the sold out Androids (which we immediately sold out
before we could put them on our website! don't worry, we're still trying to get more!).
Based on Andrew’s Never Look Back artwork,
these toys will be one of the must-have
items of the San Diego
Comic-Con and summer in general. Each figure has articulated
limbs, severed tentacles, extra eyes,
sushi, bowl and terrific packaging.

A little bit creepy, but really beautiful, these wooden mannequin hands are perfect for
home decor (on it's own or holding one of your special keepsakes), displaying jewelry,
sending messages, we used them hold notes, or just good old fashioned modeling.
The hands are all realistically proportioned and all the joints have a smooth range
of movement.
