Announcement    February 1st, 2024

Big changes are on the horizon for us here at Bewilder and Pine!

After a years-long search and planning, we'll be moving our entire studio into a much larger space in March, which means so many good things for the shop and for our treasured customers. We will have the space to set aside room to work on custom pieces which, many of you know, is something we struggle to do now. With so many layers to our work, it has been tough to find the room to work on anything "pristine" when we are constantly flinging paint, glitter, landscaping materials and glue around in close proximity. It's why we rarely have done figurines these last few years. And for the time being, that will continue until we settle into our new creative groove and build out our new space.

In the first few months after our move, we'll be focused on getting the shop stocked with magical houses and creatures again. We will be taking fewer custom orders than before for now, just until we have things back where we want them.

We thank you all in advance for your patience as we move into this new phase. We are very excited for it to happen and want to share the whole process with you as we do.

Wishing each of you a warm and happy year filled with light and inspiration!

Thank you, as always, for believing!

Sofie and Nicolas

He's working on a few fantasy stories/novels and we hope to share a bit of that in the coming year as well.

Thank you all for FOURTEEN wonderful and creative years!

About the creation of Bewilder and Pine

Stories remembered from, and created throughout, childhood. . . worlds fashioned from unlimited imagination . . . those so-called "imaginary" friends. . . the myths and legends of ancient world history . . . and our desire for solitude, simplicity and the search for creative sanctuary envy day. . .

These are the ideals, large and small, that have inspired us to bring this shop filled with our miniature creations to life here.

The myriad of ever-evolving items you may find in Bewilder and Pine are all somehow directly tied to the unforgettable and unequalled days of our own childhoods. The magic and mystery that we never wish to lose as well as that we have reclaimed over the years of growth and re-invention. These are the beliefs and possibilities that defy age and agenda. . . that are available, even now, to children of all ages.

It is our hope that you will find a little something reminiscent of your own childhood within these pieces as well. Something that you carry with you still. . . something that has never lost it's magic or luster. Something that, in spite of the ever-maddening world around us, never will.

And we hope that you will allow the inspiration of it all to sink deeply within and take you back to those times and places as well. We are so happy you've stopped by, if only for a peek, and we hope what you see stays with you for some time to come.

Thank you for looking, . . but more for believing!
