Giant Vintage Dominoes.

They had me at "giant."

The highlight of this week's update are these wonderfully fun giant dominoes. Made from smooth hardboard, with each dot carefully painted on in cream, we believe they date back to the early 60s. We love them scattered around as a display but add a clip and you have a unique clipboard too. They measure 8.75x4.25" with a thickness of 2/16". Choose your number!

MUJI Station Clock

Oh, Muji, you minx. I wish I knew how to quit you. Every time you start to bore me silly, you turn around and come up with something perfect and simple like this.

Inspired by the design of traditional railway station clocks in Japan, the familiar face makes it easy to read.

Antique Glass Teardrop Photo Locket.

Really lovely.

A beautifully shaped vintage looking photo locket will keep the ones you love close to your heart. Made from a glass and antique finish silver teardrop shaped locket that hangs on an oxidized sterling silver cable chain. The locket is glass on both sides and holds TWO (one for each side) portrait style photos that will be sized down to fit. The hand stamped silver word tag can be made to say whatever you want to personalize your photo locket! If you will need two silver word tags, please see the other teardrop locket listed, it will be a slightly different price.

Hangs long at about 25 inches and can include a different photo on each side. Locket measures 1.5 inches in length including clasp. Attached with a little silver bead so you can just put the necklace on over your head. No clasp.

Embroidered poetry paper.

I'm a sucker for anything that looks like notebook paper.

organic cotton fabric 'notebook paper' is printed with classic blue lines and a red rule, complete with (button) holes at left margin. comes with a skein of pencil-colored embroidery floss. we suggest separating the thread into thinner strands for added authenticity.
