Inspirations

One our favorites...because sometimes words aren't enough.

As a lover of the sea and nature, Lee Spiller from Effingham, NH has long been drawn to the rocky shore and beautiful islands of New England. Summer's wildflowers blooming above cobblestones beaches inspired his stone flower vases. Lee carefully selects the stones from remote beaches for his iconic stone lamps. In an age of disposable items, Lee is proud to present lasting pieces. They are also great for displaying air plants!

No two gnomes are alike! Enjoy the company of these handmade stoneware gnomes in your garden and your home.

As the story goes...the Earth is filled almost to the center with Gnomes, a people of small stature, the guardians of earth treasures, of mines, and of precious stones. They are ingenious, friends of humans, and gentle. They bring good luck and never ask any other reward of their services, other than the honor of being of help. 

Each offers distinct individuality.  With each order we will reach out with a mixed selection to choose from.  Supply is limited.  

An ingenious French-country way to keep your butter soft and spreadable without going rancid. Originating in the late 1800s, this method involves adding cold water to the base of the keeper so that, coupled with anywhere from 1/2 a stick to a 3/4 a stick of butter, it creates an airtight seal. Butter will last on the counter for over a week.

About the artist: Alan Claude greatly admires the American realist painter Edward Hopper because of his brilliant use of light and shadow, along with stark empty spaces. Other influences were early 20th century poster artists and pop artist Robert Indiana. In August 2004, Alan and his wife Erin visited with him at his Vinyl Haven island home. Robert Indiana gave them a private tour of his works and discussed art and life. The visit inspired Alan Claude to search further to find his own “voice” or style in art. Alan works in various mediums including pen & ink, photography, and digital illustration.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN

Your purchase enables marginalized Filipino artisans from the poorest urban and rural communities to become self-reliant through skilled handcrafting by selling their handcrafted products in local and global fair trade markets.

Made by a husband and wife duo D. and Kendall in their garage studio, these copper sea life creatures will bring your walls to life. D. and Kendall begin with a heavy 16 ounce (per square foot) sheet of copper that is custom manufactured by Revere Copper to an extreme measure of purity and demanding specifications.

A copper wire is brazed on the back of each wall hanging piece for easy attachment to a small nail or picture hanger. If hanging outdoors, we recommend you do so in a wind protected area or bring the piece indoors during episodes of high winds.

The green patina (verdigris) on parts or all of some pieces is what occurs over time to unprotected copper exposed to the elements and is the reason copper implements thousands of years old are still being found in reasonably good condition.

On some of their pieces, D. and Kendall accelerate this process by brushing on an acid solution, exposing it to a fine water mist until the patina forms, and then blowing off any clear coated areas with compressed air to prevent water spots.

The calla's candlestick is both whimsical and elegant. It truly inspires a oneness with nature. Hand-forged, hand-bent iron comes to life with recycled glass fused in Luis' kiln to create organic functional art pieces with clean lines that will be enjoyed for a lifetime. Candle included and is pure beeswax.

About the artist: Luis Martinez creates each piece by hand at his studio. Each design is inspired by nature, brought to life with superior craftsmanship. Born in Colombia in 1967, Luis discovered his passion for sculpting with his hands after working with different artists for many years, learning various techniques such as melting and shaping iron and fusing glass.
