Reminiscent of Carrol Boyes’ “Lady in the Tub”, imagine having a woman’s body in the middle of your stove that also serves a purpose. Enter Carrol’s cast aluminum spoon rest. Both functional and fun it is not only serviceable but affordable and the perfect length to hold even longer utensils, (9.3” by 3.2”). Every time I show this to a customer it brings smiles both because of the humor as well as the unexpected function of the gift they intend to buy…usually for themselves.

Ring Around the Rosie…

a pocket full of pencils, drawing, drawing, we just can’t get enough!

Rosie Flo’s coloring books (aka “colouring book” in the UK), are the most FABULOUS coloring books that I have ever seen. Choices include: Rosie Flo’s coloring book, Rosie Flo’s Animals coloring book, and Johnny Joe’s coloring book for boys with new ones added often.

Developed for her children, the designer, Roz Streeten, sketched intricate designs that her children could color. She also developed them so that heads, faces, arms and legs could be added by those coloring the designs. So stand back and let the next Picasso happen!

They are perfect paired with the Plumier Pencil Set which is a cylinder of colored pencils with a sharpener at the top.

A month ago we started with a dozen of four kinds and within 1 week they were gone. Developed and produced in the UK, they are hard to come by and appreciated by those that find them to buy and send. A new shipment just arrived – find them here!. EW
