jackrabbit nightlight December 3, 2007
When I was a little kid, afraid of the dark, I knew a stuffed rabbit named Jack who would come to the rescue.
I am still afraid of things: a habit I thought was a passing phase but I find is still with me. the drowning polar bears. the strange noises the furnace makes when I am at home alone . . .
wait a minute . . .
Am I still afraid of the dark?
Well, here is Jack the rabbit, back to comfort.
Lovingly hand crafted, this fused glass nightlight will bring reassurance to the darkest nights of the year.

swallow mobile November 21, 2007
Is it just me, or were mobiles missing for about a decade? Sure, there were snow mobiles and mobile homes. But it just felt like something was absent in the breezes above desks and cradles. I am glad they are back, especially ones as winsome as these drifting swallows.

tekki containers October 29, 2007
I love the modern yet timeless look of these little Japanese tekki containers.
Use them as you please, perhaps as little vases, or to hold river rocks and kumquats.
Made of iron, they have a lovely heft. In fact, holding them is almost as nice at looking at them.
