Excited about this super cool art we just purchased from a long-time customer; read about the unique process he puts these fish bones through to result in the tiny masterpieces we see now!

Thank you to all US military members who gave their lives in service to our country - and thank you to their families.

Including today (we're here until 5pm), we have 6 shopping days left until we close for retirement! 8 months ago, we honestly didn't think we'd sell out of the salvaged 12" glass floats, but is now apparent that we will by June 1st! Come in to get yours before they're gone!
(12" are $28/each after all discounts, before sales tax)

Fancy a fancy ride? This vintage rickshaw is from one of our buying trips to India. We hailed these frequently to get around longer distances instead of getting an uber or a cab, which - in India - is almost laughable. I know because the first time I asked how to do that, they laughed at us - lol!
Available in-store today!
