Art of the Veils
Being invited into an artist’s studio, up the mountain, past the outskirts of town, quite a ways down a winding dirt road and into the forest, feels like a visit to a shaman. Artists straddle the worlds and live in the thinned veiled realms of the creative. Their homes and studios have a unique energy to them. They can’t help but imbue their space and working materials with an artistic magic; alchemizing basic materials into to icons, idols and keepers of human meaning.
Fairy Magic

Bees and Bee House Kit
YOU Can Help Save Bees! Bees are responsible for about 80% of all pollination, 70% of food pollination is performed by bees. They are dying at a rapid rate. This is due to pesticides, loss of habitat, climate changes, and more human interferences. We are a huge part of the problem, but we can take action to be a part of saving them too.

We know feeding children whole foods is an important part of healthy development. Offering their senses “whole” or natural materials is also important for healthy child development.
