I've had people ask me before "what is it?" "what do you do with it?", when talking about my figurines. I didn't think they would be such cause for confusion. Set them on your shelf with your other trinkets & bits. Put one on your desk to cheer you up when you're feeling sad. Set one next to the coffee maker, because you can. It's your figurine...you can do whatever you want with it!
Anyways...this is how I display some of my figurines. It's one of those vintage printer's letterpress drawers, that I hung on the wall. It has a really cool drawer handle on the bottom. There's a ton for sale on Etsy, but they're all so expensive. $60 for an old drawer? Sorry, no. I appreciate good vintage and antiques, but just because something is "in", doesn't mean you can jack up the price. Excuse me while I go buy a brand new dresser with all the drawers for $60 instead. (ok, maybe not exactly, but you get the idea)
I got this one for about $20 on Ebay. There's a small break in one of the compartments that I plan on sanding down, but I always forget it's there. You can't even tell from afar.
It's a mixture of ones I've made, and toys the boy and I have collected over the years. Mostly the ones I have from me, are tests or rejects. Like the little Sundae kitty...you can't tell, but he has a broken neck! So sad. And that little green pocket kitty up top. Way too small to sell. I thought, hey maybe...but nah. The regular pocket kitties are already cheap enough.
I had planned on selling that lil grenade, next to the blue pocket
kitty, but he just looks so cute on my shelf. I'll probably just make
more one day.

wedding topper madness!
For those not in the know...Mueller's Bakery is now carrying my larger sized (3 and 4 inch tall) cake toppers! So if you happen to be in the Bay Head, NJ area and if you happen to stop in Mueller's, you might so happen to see some of my lil couples!
Meanwhile, I'm still only listing the smaller 2 inch..ish sized couples in my shop for immediate purchase. The larger sized couples take a bit more time to make, so I decided to save those for custom inquiries only.
I'm hoping to have these bitty couples listed by Friday.



(In case you couldn't tell, the last two couples are pretty similar, except the first groom is a bit shorter and with a bigger head!)
I may or may not add some top hats to the grooms. Hmm....

aaack...weddings.

In response to all of my friends running off willy nilly and getting married I decided to make a figurine couple! Ok, well not exactly..but I DID get the idea to make it for a wedding gift for my friends who recently got married. Their version had green accents to match their wedding color. But the one listed in my shop has baby pink accents. I plan on making more of these one day soon. Just like everything else on my gigantic list of "things to do/make".

updates!

A few new and different things are now listed in the shop. I think I'm on a figurine kick. I'm also a little behind in terms of where I thought I would be last week. Everything is (for the most part) made and ready to go, I just have a hard time forcing myself to sit down, take pictures, upload and edit those, and then list. Very time consuming. Sometimes I wish I just made one product and could list and relist that same item over and over. One of a kind isn't all it's cracked up to be!
