Walrus Says Hello

I got overtaken by life events and my other work this past month, and forgot all about updating this blog.  So sorry about that!

In the meantime, I've dreamed up several new furry creatures, but only one has been listed, so far--the lime green walrus. Think I should make him available in other colors? Someone also suggested I make a top hat version.

I've been fitting my crafting exploits into the evenings, in front of the television, but I'm rearranging my schedule, now, to see if I can improve things. It's not good to neglect my customers!

Over the past month, I've been listing lots of scarves in a wide variety of colors.  Some have been dry-clean only, but I've tried to include easy-care scarves that can be hand or machine washed, as well.  Today I listed a decorative metal tin that was made in Germany, in the Cold War era (it is marked "Made in West Germany").

If you are shopping for Father's Day, stop by either store and see what I've got.  If you are looking for something in particular, let me know. I would be happy to help in any way I can, either by listing the thing you need (if I have it), or by pointing you in the direction of someone I know who sells it.

So, for a parting question, what's your favorite memory of time spent with your dad? Leave me a story in the comments section!

Gifts for Dads and Grads

Most graduations are over, but the new graduates would still welcome gifts and well-wishes.  At the same time, Father's Day is coming up really soon.  I thought I'd put together a quick collection of my own items that meet these needs, and already two of the items have sold.  To meet the apparent demand, I have added a bunch more man-appropriate items, like a vintage wool necktie, to my studio. Hope you'll drop in to look at all the new things!
