Welcome! I hope you enjoy exploring my little shop. It's filled with simplistic handmade and vintage offerings aimed to spark wonder and joy. Our handcrafted wooden learning pieces are inspired by nature and the teachings of Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio Emilia. They encourage open ended play so that children can explore their world with creativity and imagination. You can be assured the colors are derived from food grade dye and every piece is sealed with my homemade Swarmlovin' Beeswax Polish. I offer simple and minimal packaging that is earth conscious. I hope you'll stay awhile! ~Jodi

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer international shipping and are packages shipped internationally guaranteed?

If international shipping is not currently set up for a particular item of interest, I am happy to check the pricing for you. While I am able to easily and affordably track and insure shipments within the US, this is not the case with international shipping. Therefore I cannot replace orders that have been lost or held during international shipping. As of 12/20/16 I have fulfilled a total of 12 international orders to Australia, United Kingdom & Germany which all arrived promptly and safely!
