Violet Mortimer Fox Squirrel - Greeting Card
$ 6.25 USD
A standard 5" x 7" greeting card with a blank interior.
From the back of the card:
On the coldest, darkest, most blustery of nights, tucked into bed as a young kit, Violet Mortimer Fox Squirrel was never afraid. Wind could be howling, thunder could be booming, trees creaking, and icy snow pellets tamping on the windows; Violet was enthralled. As she fells asleep, her father would tell her tales of storms from days past, and how the community came together...to weather the weather, so to speak.
As Violet grew, she remained fascinated by the power of nature and inspired by the bedtime stories of her kithood. They lit a spark in her to lend aid to those left cold and hungry both during and after such beastly storms.
Ready to carry her dream through to fruition, Violet called three friends to help: Murray Maynooth Moose, seasoned forager; Scruffles Wigglebottom Skunk, gardener extraordinaire; and Charlotte Livingston Eastern Chipmunk, quilter of the dreamiest coverlets. With produce from the fellas, Violet would make all sorts of preserves; with blankets from Charlotte, and a supply of all the other emergency essentials one could possibly need, she would be able to support the community through any rain, wind, and snow storms that Mother Nature could muster.
Violet's new company, a 501c4, of course, would help her community prepare for, hunker through, and recover from weather-based emergencies. As Violet drafted up her business plans and filed her registrations, she envisioned a rainbow-hued wall of pickles and jams and chutneys and jellies and smiled. She just relished knowing that if anyone was stuck in a pickle, freezing and half starved, she would most certainly have one to help them out of it, too.

S. Morishita Bud Vase
$ 115.00 USD
Unlike the carefully hammered exteriors of this artist's kitchenware line, the S. Morishita Bud Vase features a texture that seems somehow both purposeful and wholly organic, much like the floral arrangements it's designed to hold. A close inspection reveals a certain regularity to the metal's surface but never quite a pattern - more of a suggestion that the natural world might, with great patience and skill, be shaped according to an artist's will.
About S. Morishita

S. Morishita Kettle
$ 375.00 USD
Give the S. Morishita Kettle more than a cursory glance, and you'll start to note departures from any kettle that came before. The countless hammer blows covering its surface are striking enough, but gaze at it a moment longer and a second, underlying texture emerges, one that's more evident on the kettle's lid. This same lid is held in place by similarly sized but irregularly shaped nodules made from drops of molten aluminum, and arcing above it all is a handle manually shaped around three studs and attached with pins of brass that stand out from this cookware's otherwise slivery surface.
