Theo - feeling piggy?


The venerable pig has been forced to weather some bed press throughout the years, despite a long list of valuable attributes. Smarter than dogs and oft times just as affectionate, they make great pets, as evidenced by George Clooney's 18-year relationship with Max, the pot-bellied pig credited with saving George's life in 1994 (and Max even took a flight in John Travolta's private jet, although not in a life-saving capacity). But there's one attribute we feel has been overlooked these last few years: that of being the hallowed guardian of our loose change! Well overlook no more, with THEOsaurus! (We know, the '-saurus' makes it seem of the dino- variety, but according to its creator the name has more to do with the Latin definition of the word 'thesaurus': treasure.) Available for all you purists in plain white as well as a Blau Dresner pattern for those who enjoy the classics, THEO is available standing on fat little legs with feet made of actual cork or seated featuring a quality metal lock. You have to spend a little to save a little!

new scherning jewelry


Yesterday we received our new order of Scherning porcelain & sterling silver jewelry. In addition to receiving replenishment on the styles we already had, we have 2 new pieces: the bracelet and the double earrings.


Mette Scherning's jewelry is all made by hand -- no 2 pieces are the same. She creates porcelain disks which are hand decorated and then paired with sterling silver hardware... the final product is very delicate in appearance and quite unique.
