I'm A Little Teapot

So, is there a better way to have a tea party with your daughter than with this delightful crochet tea set?  Truly a short and stout tea pot never shouted to you so clearly as this one will. And when you tip it over you can pour it out into two little matching tea cups and saucers. This is truly one of the sweetest sets we have seen and you can get all steamed up like we did when we saw it.  We even have some crochet cupcakes to create a total afternoon tea.  What fun!

3 Piece Tea Set   $45

A Potter with more magic than JK Rowling could write about



Prices range from $24 to $48



This is our friend Judy Jackson and while she's not a witch, she can make more magic than the "other Potter".  We fall under their spell every time we get an order of her "bottles".  They're not alive but we swear when they are grouped together they take on personalities and individually they will charm anyone as a gift.  We love everything about these vases - the glazes, the colors, the shapes and sizes.  The bottles come in all sizes but we always have what Judy calls tiny, small, and tall.  Come in to the shop and be spellbound. 

What's Your Bag?

Some people say we have a bag fetish!  They may be right but we just can't help ourselves!

Dash & Albert Rug Bag   $58

Our Dash & Albert cotton bags are so soft and yet so durable and hold just about everything including the kitchen sink - seriously these are great bags for toting.  They come in multi-color stripes and with their durable leather handles and bottoms they may just become your favorite carry-all, all year long! 






And did we mention our felt bags?  These purses are made locally from industrial grade wool felt and also have leather handles and bottoms.  Dress them up or kick around casual you will love these purses.  They are a great size and feature a snap closure and two inside pockets.  Some natural and some colorful, Graf and Lantz has outdone themselves in designing these bags.  




Graf & Lantz Felt Bags

Italian Recycler Bags 













We have more bags but we don't we don't want to spoil the experience of coming into the shop - that's where you'll find your bag too!

Au Pear a Day

Ceramic Pear  $32

According to Wikopedia, au pair comes from the French meaning "on a par" or "equal to" -  Well, according to Winnow we think these pears are equal or better than any you will see. These delightful hand thrown clay pears are from a wonderfully wacky Canadian artist named Marie-Joel.  Each hand made pear has unique designs pressed, etched, or scribed onto the surface and are all very textural.  At the top of each one is a small hole for the "stem"  of your choosing (we use branches found right outside the shop).  These are perfect hostess gifts and we are certain that we can find research that says "A pear a day...." (By the way we have some of her apples too!) - We think you will want to make these pears a part of your family along with your au pair!  

Bowled Over

Bowling Buddies Set   $45.00

These little guys just about speak for themselves!  They are three adorable felt pups that by their expressions seem to be only too happy to be bowled over by the soft felt bowling ball.  Wonderfully packaged this set is called "Bowling Buddies" and is offered under Fair Trade practices that directly support a better life for small scale producers and artisans.  Suggested for children 18 months and up, we think they will bring out the kid in anybody.  The pup "pins" and ball are multi-colored felt and stand up straight until a tyke gets a strike.  These are a perfect gift for any birthday and have no small parts, pieces, or assembly - and they support a fair and safe labor practices.

Knit One, Purl Two
