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!

ceramic birdhouse by Michael McDowell

From Michael McDowell

Each gorgeous bird house is hand crafted and covered inside and out with my non toxic glossy white glaze and topped with an exquisite white lichen glaze. It is fired twice, once as a bisque firing to drive out moisture from the clay and a second high fire glaze firing which ensures the birdhouse can withstand the elements. Just in time for our feathered friends this spring and summer, they make a great housewarming gift or a treat for oneself. A ceramic bead and hemp hanger are included for quick hanging.

Measures approx. 3 3/4″ tall… 4″ across cap.

Stop in and check them out
