Animal Hoodies Collage

We brought the zoo out this Halloween! Check out our new animal hoodies for kids. What animal should we do next? I’m thinkin goat! So excited to be able to collaborate with my mom on these. She’s doing all your ears, tails, manes and more. So far we’ve got a lion, bunny, wolf, elephant, koala, raccoon, chipmunk, bear, giraffe, monkey, doe, fox, panda, cat and tiger!

I recently found this super cute Elephant Trinket Box on my expeditions. It reminded me a lot of the animal boxes by Karl Zahn for Areaware.

His head opens up to reveal a little place to put small items. He has a mark on the bottom that I’ve not been able to find anything out about. Any guesses? I know it’s probably German.

Remember… BUY VINTAGE!

Ever since seeing the reproductions on DWR I fell in love with Bosse’s design! Rather than grab a repro I decided to do a little research and find out what Walter Bosse was really all about. Turns out, not only did he work in brass, but with pottery and ceramics as well.

And now… after A LOT of patience, learning a bit of German and 3 years of my life I’m pretty psyched with my collection! It’s been great and fun and an exciting journey. Always buy vintage I say!
