for the kid in you...

...and me!!

i EEEE!-ed aloud when i came across these miniature playhouses! [my roommate can attest to this.]

Hobbit Holes are a dream come true! combining my love for all things miniature and gnome-like, these little hangout structures are colorful, whimsical, and truly fantastic! great for little ones running around pretending to be elves and hobbits, but it would make a great backyard reading nook.

Wooden Hobbit Hole Playhouse - $3140

frozen in time

i am fascinated by the ability to capture something - whether it is an object [natural or not], a word, any sort of memory - and preserve it as-is forever.

my amber jewelry pieces were the most worn items in my jewelry box for a number of years - probably for that very reason! i was attracted to nature's imperfections that were transformed into centerpieces of gorgeous design and wearable art.

as recently as a few weeks ago, i came across sylwia calus' shop, sisicata, which is full of the designer's beautiful poly-resin jewelry creations. you will find pieces with nature captured flawlessly and also some with a modern, geometric flair. i am especially fond of her moss pieces as well as her minerals [love that shine and irregularity!].


Clear Forest Ring - $40

Moss Pendant Small - $80

Ammonite Pendant - $60

Last Blow of Summer Pendant Grey - $120

loving the lovelies

samantha walker is the artist behind the jewelry at proteales. i dig the simplicity and uniformity. of course each piece is unique and handmade, but the styles are so classic...the true beauty of the stones [and charms] are visible and not overpowering. most pieces can be customized to your needs - your particular size and stone[s] of your choosing!

sweet and delicate.
