5 out of 5 starsThere was a couple white strips on the base of the wand which I didn’t care about. The shape was on point and I would definitely buy again

Welcome To My Art Studio Shop!
Welcome to my cottage studio shop! I am so blessed to have you stop by. Please grab a cup of coffee or tea and pull up a chair. I am so excited to be able to share my passion with you.
I am a cottage creatrix at heart and love creating vintage inspired artwork of all kinds. For some time it has been my dream to open a cottage shop on my farm where I can offer customers like yourself vintage charm, warmth and comfort of yesteryear style creations, cottage decor, and other unique high quality gifts.
Items in my shops are labour intensive so unless it is marked as ready to ship, it will take me some time to create. I'm a traditional artisan. That means no computerized cutters, no computerized woodworking tools and no spray paint. Creations are done by hand including hand sewing and hand embroidery as I don't use a sewing machine. Woodwork is completed using a hand held chisel on an electric wood lathe and using a scroll saw with handmade jigs.
Yes, my creations are a lot of work to make but I am so blessed to have my husband and kids help me out when they can.
One thing to note is that selections are always changing. Some are limited runs, one of a kind originals and seasonal finds. If you see something today, it may be gone tomorrow. But that is part of the fun of having an artisan shop and why I try to do regular product drops.
Feel free to refill your cup of coffee or tea and enjoy browsing my cottage shop. If you have any questions, please message me.
Thanks.
Miriam.

If you would like to read more reviews on my hand painted wooden toys, you can check out my former toy shop on Etsy. Unfortunately that shop had to be put on permanent vacation mode as I changed businesses from an incorporation to a sole proprietorship. Unfortunately Etsy doesn't allow for shop to transfer of business ownership even if the new business owned by the same person.

Customers are responsible for making sure the items they purchase can be imported into their country. Orders returned due to tax not being paid or being seized/returned by customs as an item not allowed into your country will not be refunded as I have fully disclosed this information to you.
Are MDH Toys, Puzzles & Rainbows Safe for Kids?
I use high quality certified non-toxic paints and certified non-toxic finishes for all my products. Most of my wood products are safe for kids to touch.
My toys are made according the Canadian toy manufacturing laws and Health Canada toy regulations.
Applicable warning labels and age recommendations are also affixed to product packaging.
Where are your products made?
All of the painting of my creations is done in my farm based workshop and art studio studio in Athabasca County, Alberta. To keep costs down I do import some made in USA raw wooden pieces that I need to sand smooth by hand before painting.
