We’ve put out a new batch of terrariums with more on the way! We also have a bunch of terrarium bits from Mudpuppy that may just make it into the store.

Speaking of Mudpuppy… Baby Head planters are in!

Just in time for Father’s Day we now have screen printed ties by Cyberoptix TieLab! Each tie is hand-screened by Bethany Shorb all in her downtown Detroit studio using high-quality, non-toxic, waterbased ink.

We are very excited to have picked up Your Secret Admiral at the Austin Renegade! Your Secret Admiral is a Brooklyn-based artist, who specializes in handmade books, drawings, and paper goods. Most of her goods are environmentally friendly and are created from recycled, reused, repurposed, rescued, and reloved materials. We have some card packs and little weekly lists, but the jewel is the hand bound journals! Each book is is made from papers that are collected, assembled, folded, cut, and bound together. Many of them have vintage hardcovers as the cover for the journal. These one of a kind books are pure awesomeness!

We hope you are all having a happy holiday weekend!

Hey, All! We brought new Berkley prints back with us from Austin. They are now in the store, so be sure to stop in to get first pick. (Personally, I think the Wonder Kittens are awesome!)

Tomte is pleased to welcome Portland jewelry artist and instructor Rebecca Melton to our jewelry line up! The pieces in her oddball line are hand crafted in steel, enamel, sterling and fine silvers. We are happy to have her!

We just got a package from Lauren Haupt! The little wings are back in stock! Yeah!

Just in from Philly!

Sara Selepouchin draws awesome diagrams of our favorite things, and hand prints them on useful stuff.

We’re super big fans of her new heart shaped chocolate box diagram, which is just in time for Valentine’s day!

Anyway, she’s just sent us a fantastic selection of tea towels, coasters, placemats, and one of a kind prints.

Stop in and check them out!

Stop by our jewelry showcase tonight and see the new Sword + Fern in store. We are totally excited!
