Unfortunately, my shop will be offline for a while. Storenvy’s shipping rate system is, to put it politely, an outdated dinosaur that needs a complete overhaul and not designed with non-US Sellers OR buyers in mind.

It’s World Lizard Day!
Our followers will know, of course, that we love our scaly friends, big and small.
….And thankfully all of Abby’s world domination plans have yet to succeed. Hard to be in a conquering mood when you’re napping in a morning sunbeam.

Full speed ahead with Oxford stock! This year I’m hoping to NOT run out of mothmen. 😜

Ahoy squidizens! It’s day 3 of The Ontario Pirate Festival, and naturally the final day of the festival is the hottest. Thanks to everybody who has braved the heat and come to take home some fuzzy love! Here’s a photo of our biggest fan (and we’re big fans of them as well!)

Avast, ye squidizens! The Ontario Pirate Festival is upon us once again, and some ocean life is upon us as well! These wee turtles have bubbled up to explore and find homes on land. If you don’t help the wee turtles, who will?
